Hallway electrical and subpanel

I'll be adding pictures of the hallway electrical once there stops being tons of stuff in the way.  I have the subpanel in the hallway and it'll get covered with a cabinet door later.  This picture is after the first part of all the circuits were done, all of the wires are labeled as well as them being labeled on the cover.

Each room as a separate lights and outlets breaker.  The lights power both the room and closet lights/fan, and there's also a switch for switched outlets on the light circuit.  The wire for the switched outlet goes through all the boxes so people can decide later which boxes they want to make switched.  This also allows each room to draw up to 35 amps which is nice.  If I was doing this again, I would just make the switched outlets on the same breaker as the rest of the outlets and use 12/3 instead, although it costs about the same.  For the most part, it is one continuous piece of copper from the breaker all the way to the last outlet on the circuit, which is cool.
