Ok Guys...This is my REAL first post on AVS. I have been reading the forums since 2008. I have been planing/dreaming of my theater room since way back in 1997 (17 years old). Growing up, I lived in a trailer and had a room that was basically my Infinity Speaker room. It was filled with the best components that Radio Shack could supply...lol. 80% of my check seemed to go to speakers or tv's or electronics....I am not arguing that my priorities were in line, just giving you a background to the passion which I am sure most of you on this forum shares. Well now at 35 years old I am bringing my dreams to fruition. I am in the later stages of my theater room at this point, but want to share with everyone the steps brought me to where we are now. It would be an injustice to not post on here, for as much as this forum has given to me over the years. So here we go.
My family and I just purchased our new home in December to where we quickly started trying to make renovations to every room it seemed. My wife got her expanded walk in closet and laundry room expansion. Closed in the old 90's cut out over the fireplace and did stone to the ceiling, where now our Sony 4k 65" tv hangs which has a sonos soundbar and sub. (I will attach pictures of anything if you guys are interested..just didn't want to bore you about the non-theater room stuff. Marvel themed playroom and game room for the kids.
The THIRD floor is mine!!!! I have worked with a design company to try to figure out the best lay-out of the room to make it the media room that I have always dreamed about. The third floor was already finished when I bought the house but was never used. You want to talk about something that is "hard" for me. Pulling up Brand New carpet and cutting out the ceiling of an already pretty...painted room. I was able to re-purpose 60% of the carpet so I don't feel so bad. Its just amazing how easy it is to WASTE.
On the pictures you will see the 2nd floor is where the built ins were along the wall. Again, we removed these and re-purposed them in the basement. We are doing the 2nd floor in a Marvel Gameroom, as it is in the works right now as well. It was set up almost like a mother-n-law suit. It made the room really hard to design with that current layout. Plus we didn't need a full fridge set up and couldn't figure out what to do with the floor. We are trying to make a very welcoming entrance into the theater room door, it is to the right beside the cabinets. That door opens up into a winding staircase that goes into the third floor room. I thought I had more pictures of the room before all the construction, but this is all I can find at the moment. (the picture of the steps is from the top of the steps looking back down to the entrance). The Theater room is the 3rd Floor.
