Home Theater 

My interest in home theater arose from the challenge of coming up with an attractive design for the room and then building it myself. I've done all the work you see in these pictures myself including rough carpentry, finish carpentry, electrical, drywall, painting, staining, etc. I also paid a little attention to the A/V setup, but that wasn't my major emphasis. 

Here's the room I started with. The room had carpet by the time I started (the picture just shows the carpet pad), but I don't have a picture of the room with the carpet. You can see the beige paint, white millwork, almond electrical outlets, can lights--all of which got replaced.	Here is what that same part of the room looks like right now.

Oh Yeah, the Movies ... I guess the point of all this was to be able to watch movies in my home! The home theater is great for family movie nights with the kids, and my wife and I spend a lot of time watching movies by ourselves, too.  - Favorite Movies for Home Theater * Great Movies * Great Family Movies
