Chris - Actually I used black Dazian (Exposure) - it's the flash that washes it out a bit. Unlike the border which is a black velvet which is more light absorbing.

They actually look as black as each other in real life.

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks guy's - still planning a little work on it.....at some point will order some glass for the top. Still debating glass or wood shelves for the bar - thinking glass will probably rattle.

Cheers,
Mark

Just tape them down with some duct tape for a true DIY look.

Maybe stick some rubber grommets under the glass to prevent the rattling?

Home Depot/Lowes has green or black felt pads specifically designed for glass tabletops and shelving to protect the surface, keep the glass in place, and keep it from rattling.

Yes, I can just see some nice silver duck tape against the Oak panelling....but would match nicely with the stainless steel appliances

Is not just the shelves vibrating on the supports but also the bottles vibrating.

I'm going to go with wood shelves for now, at least with wood I can also lay some type of rubber mat to stop bottles from slowly vibrating off the shelves. Can always change out later if I don't like the look.

Cheers,
Mark

Last project in the HT complete.



Well after nearly 2 years I think I'm done with 'The Wright Family Theatre' (MK I). I broke ground on the HT on 4/1/06 - can't believe it's been that long.

Overall really happy with the result - sure there are things I'd do differently - but can use this learning experience on MK II.

Only items outstanding are a Blu-Ray player and HTPC - waiting on the Panny BD50 on the first and the outcome of BD+ long time cracking for the 2nd.

For now going to enjoy MK I and get to MKII a few years down the road.

Cheers,
Mark

Mark -

Excellent work on a great theater! If I remember correctly, you came over to my house to see where I was before you even started. I probably have ANOTHER 2 years to go!

Great job. And to all you guys who haven 't had the pleasure of seeing Mark's theater in person.....

NANNY NANNY BOO BOO!

It truly is a work of work of art.

Again, congrats on a great job!
Tom

Excellent job. I really like how the bar turned out. The lighting in the concession stand turned out great too.

You should be proud of the hard work you put into it. Sets the bar high for the rest of us still far behind you in the progress column.

Thought I'd post up some final pics so no need to search thread - remember also 1st post has an index.

View towards Screen



Star Ceiling & Rope



View towards the rear



Theatre entrance and equipment closet



A few shots of the Bar (Those Bar stools are not staying)







And finally equipment - sorry this is a DIY Rack and no Bud/Craig I'm not going to show the rear cabling



Cheers,
Mark

Very nice work. Looks like a great place to pull up a seat, drink a pint of guiness (or six), and watch a flick. Well done my man, well done.

Very nice BritInVA,

I'm hoping to do what you did with the equipment closet door. Make's for a good way to hide our non pro racks.

Looks great Brit. Been a great thread to follow.

Mark,

I have been going back through the thread, and I apologize if this was covered, but I can't seem to find it.

When you first installed the acoustic treatments on your screen wall, you left the screen area as plain drywall to project onto. Now that you have built a screen, did you add any of the OC703 behind it? If so, did you notice any difference in the performance of the room.

BTW, my wife loved your red so much she wants me to change everyting in our HT that I planned on doing in grey in a rich red like yours.

Thanks for the input and help,
