A big thanks to everyone for all the inspiration in helping me design what I think is a great place to spend many evenings with friends and family.

hope you like

Nice job man looks like a great space to hang out :)


you should insert your images so they just show up in your post

Wow, that looks fantastic. Very neat while also looking inviting. Beautiful storage.
BTW, which Carada screen material do you use and what do you think of the Carada screen?

Thanks guys.
It's the percision series and is my second one.
I think it's fantastic but I'm not sure how it would do against others.
1080p looks as good as any theater I've been to and the concessions are better too. :)

Like the preview screen in the hallway.

VERY NICE!!! One of my new fav's!;)

looks great..congrats.

Very Nice!

Great job.

Thanks guys.
We moved into our new home in the middle of October and started with the unfinished basement the 1st week of December.
We had a deadline of the Super Bowl and made it.
Carpet was layed up until 8pm ,the friday before which gave me 1 1/2 days to hook everything up.
Done....now what ?? ;)

Fantastic!!...just one suggestion. I would get a piece of black Fidelio velvet and cut it to the exact size of the top of that speaker below the middle of the screen. Just lay it in place.

I was immediately distracted by the reflection from an otherwise PERFECT room.

Dude you did a beautiful job! Very classy, very clean. You should be proud of how great this looks.

Enjoy!

re:black Fidelio velvet.

bang on infact there is piece around here somewhere from the old house but since the move I can't find anything . But you're right, it drives me nuts too.

cheers

very nice! love the carpet, trim and lighting!

great job!

Agreed, very nice room.

Done....now what ?? ;)

I'm sure you will think of something.

It seams like I'm alway buying something for the theater. Last year it was the LG combo HD player. That required an additional source card for the NEC switch and some of Doug's time to converge the projector. Then there were the updates to the control system to make operation of the theater a one button affair.

This year I'm looking at replacing the Sony receiver with a Denon 3808.

Then there are the lights to accent the screen, soundproofing the door, the star ceiling etc ......

And it goes on and on. There is always something to add, change or upgrade in the theater.

Nice job on your room! Very well laid out! ;)

Congrats,
JJ

Enjoy the room for now. Then you can start tweaking it later. next I can see wall sound treatments. You could find some colored fabric to make panels or some with a pattern to look like wall art here are a few I like :)

The carpet is a Shaw commerical grade called Mountain Trail and the tile on the counter and infront of the bar comes from a local tile store called Sorana here in Hamilton. No idea the name. sorry.

Wow! Very nice and the bar is probably where I would spend a fair amount of time during the games. ;)

Yes great job hope it give you year's of fun for you and your hole family.

Very nice. Would love to have it.
