My wife and I bought our Colorado dream house just about two years ago, but weren't able to move until last summer. When we first saw the house we loved it! Even then the "theme" of the theater struck us as a little odd--the kids loved it, but after living with it for just about a year, it has to go.
So here's the "Before" pictures:
The entrance to the theater:
Theater interior:

Like I said, the kids love it, but my wife and I are less than enthusiastic--we'd like a little more more contemporary design, so we're going to destroy the rain forest and put in something more contemporary.
Current Equipment:
Epson HomeCinema 8700UB Projector
Draper Onyx 119" Screen
Russound SP-H81M Speakers (7.1 configuration)

Replacement Equipment:
JVC DLA RS6710 Projector
Screen Innovations 133" screen (2.35:1 aspect)
Panamorph UH480 Fixed Lens system
Marantz SR7009 AV Receiver

Martin Logan EM-ESL Towers
Martin Logan EM-C2 center channel
