Hey everyone, almost finished redecorating my living room so thought I would throw up some pictures of the progress, it has been a bit slow as work has been hectic for ages but getting more free time now.
How it started.
Was a bit dated and had a textured ceiling with wooden window frames and a dated fireplace. I was on a budget so couldnt spend loads but wanted something nice.
So started to get the place stripped and try out some speaker placement
Then i got the walls and ceiling replastered after having a nightmare getting the old skirting off had to lift parts of the wood floorboards. Also built some boxes out of MDF and replaced all the skirting and door architrave
Some almost finished pictures
Should hopefully get time over the next week to paint the doors and get some pictures up and get plants and other stuff.
The setup
LG 50PK350 PLASMA running my PS3 and my HTPC quad core gaming machine with a 6850 so plays any game i throw at it at 1080p. It outputs to both my Dacmagic and my av receiver. Also have server upstrairs with 8tb of storage and gigabit network.
NAD c320bee takes input from both dacmagic and av receiver driving my Tannoy Fusion 4 fronts.
Marantz SR4500 takes input from my PS3 and HTPC running my Tannoy fusion centre and F1 rears and outputting to my Tannoy TS12 sub which is beisde the sofa hiding under a table.
Walls have been tracked for rear speakers with speaker terminals and banana plugs used all through, I have used some very good cloud9 carpet underlay and it is amazing.
I have also fitted blackout blinds and curtains, I can have this place in darkness even on a summers day.
PS. This is my first house and I am only 23 and first time doing DIY like this but I think I have done OK, only person I paid was the guy to plaster the place.
