Thanks Gus. It is coming together fairly quickly.
Yep, while I had the shelves down for painting, I went ahead and cut the brackets off. My daughter's boyfriend lent a hand, and it went quickly. I think it made for a cleaner installation, it just looks better. Physics-wise, the shorter brackets probably put more pressure on the sheetrock, but since every bracket is on a stud, I figure it is nothing to worry about.
As for the base trim, I'll eventually put a floor of some sort in. I'd do the trim then. I'm thinking of going with that fake wood flooring, the kind that snaps together.
