Just had a quick look through, and so far seems like a nice site. Although you need to be beaten with a stick for using those shiny metallic orbs in your preloader with the nice design of the rest of the site.

nice work overall, just fix that loader!

Jammo,

That is damn funny!! Yes! i should be beaten with a stick, a very jagged one!
but the client requested it! I dont know why, but i hate it too! I originally had a nice bar that matched the color scheme, but then the "LORD CLIENT" looked at another site that hade a preloader and wanted me to make it look the same!
good excuse huh!

i like the way the preloader works, having the circles but as the designer you need to know that the client is not always right. I would suggest, keep the preloader style, but change the graphics back down to plain circles (maybe the beige/light brown color you've used)

Also re: what David said below, the table/chair does need something behind it but i think if you do anything too heavy it will loose that "out of the box " feel. Perhaps just a slight shadow on the floor where the chairs / table are. Also a couple more things, your site credits link could probably be a bit smaller and in a lighter font, and without underline, use the underline on a:hover (and you'll also need to set a:hover and a:visited as blue and purple look like you've not bothered much with your own credits... just a thought)

Again, nice work dude.

The only thing that looks funky to me is the bottom where the furniture and 'site designed by' statement are floating in a white nothingness...i'd use a light fill color in the palatte you have going. Maybe even mirror the usage on the top to bring it together.

i'd suggest to have the navigation buttons at the top do something when they are moused over, maybe in flash?
