Thought I take some time to post the final pictures of my bedroom conversion HT project that took around 4 to 5 months. See build thread for more details:

The screen is current 118in with felt wrap foam mask on top and bottom. Screen material is blackout cloth wrap with 1x4 wood wrap in felt. Screen is painted with Black Widow gray paint mix.

Wall artwork are premade ones that can be found at the local blockbuster from 14.99 to 39.99. Perfect solution for those lazy like me. All mine are 14.99 ea.

Basic night light use to light the stair way so the kiddie don't fall. Riser is 12in with 6in step against wall. Seats are Coaster Studio like/clone. Very comfy and a bargain at 1K for all 6. Note the shade toward the back on the 1st step is actually my 12in sub. Want a clean setup, so anything can be place in the front.

Also notice that the speaker in the back are black while the rest are silver. That's because I only have 5 JBL SCS300 SAT, so I had to use 2 Advent. For rear surround, the Advent works perfectly with the JBL.

Curtains are blackout sueue from walmart. Still deciding if I should added another 2 more panel. Projector is Mitsubishi HC4900 1080P mounted on Monoprice mount. Inside the closet is rack with HD DVD Player, HTPC, Xbox 360, WII and Zenith DVB 318 Upconvert DVD Player. The receiver is still the good old Onkyo 503 (future upgrade to the 606).

That's about it. I really like to thx everyone that help with getting to this point. Now all we do watch stuff all the time.

Me likey!!! Its not a big room but it definitely serves its purpose. If I had a room like this, I wouldnt even bother finishing my basement and Constructing my HT. Just saying that "C" word makes itch! maybe its the R-19 fiberglass still stuck in my shirt.

Good job on the room, you definitely made it work. Are you planning on using an AR lens down the road? because your screen appears to be 2.37:1 but I dont see an AR lens attached to your PJ.

Thanks. Hope u like those Showtime seats u got. We don't have basement, so bedroom or garage is our only options. We like our cars inside, so u guess it right, only bedroom left.

No AR lens here, just using masking to cover up the section not used. I would say 80% of the time I am watching AR, but there's still 20% for 16:9. And once in a blue moon, I have some 4:3 stuff, so 16:9 is the best of all world. The mask stays on most of the time. Interesting.... Going thru some of my picture I notice ever since I move the screen to the middle, I never took a single picture without the mask off. If I have time, I snap one.

Nice, Simple, clean, Good job!

Thanks. Simple and clean was what I wanted.

mine actualy came from craigslist, but they are brand new. I got it from someone that lost their home to the subprime thing. They brought it when they were building their theater, but never got a chance to use them as they lost the house.

Yes, they are Coaster Studio like (they get clone quite often by the local furniture stores). Your best best is going thru the same guys that this thread went thru. They got 7 for around 2K shipped. They are the showtime version, but the price between showtime and studio are similar the last time I was shopping for them.

Very nice job on the room conversion. Good deal on your chairs also. We have seven Coasters and I always thought they were just Berkline clones...so now someone is cloning Coasters.

It's really my guess since I have no clues to what they are. Base on looks and style, they do look like Coaster. Funny thing is at one point in time, I really thought they look more like Berkline 090. Either way, I like them a lot especially how much I actually paid for them.
