sk3lph's brand new Media/Cinema room

Carpet is down and looking great.

I'm particularly pleased with the platform edge which is a combination of stair nosing and a single carpet edge strip which keeps the carpet away from the lighting nicely.

The seats are arriving tomorrow and the AV kit is being installed on Thursday.

Nearly there at long last.

How big is your house if you don't mind me asking?

Don't mind at all, the house was an unremarkable standard size and if I'm honest it's a bit on the small side, especially upstairs. The ace in the deck has been the double garage that a previous owner built that joins onto the main house, which was previously a single garage. This has allowed me to build the new first floor above the garage that has given me the space for this project, so the upstairs feels much roomier now.

Tomorrow is a big day as all the speakers are being installed, together with the screen, black out blind, projector and AV rack with equipment.

More pictures will follow - day off work for me, it'll be like I'm 8 again trying to get some sleep on Christmas eve this evening.
 
Looking forward to seeing pictures of the equipment installed and love the way you've done things.

Really makes me want to buy a house with the space to do something similar. So many plans!
 
Do you use the double garage or have you converted it? Essentially I'm guessing you have a 2/3 bed house with a decent garage & then a computer/media/office room along with a cinema room. Pretty sweet. :D

You'll have to get your missus to stand at the back in a Lyons Maid outfit. :D Looks fantastic BTW. :cool:

I've already been thinking about getting one of those light up trays that my missus could wear round her neck with choc-ices in. I've also got some Pearl and Dean adverts for that authentic experience.

Obviously looking forward to the install too, it'll be awesome to finally see what I've been planning for the last 3 years or so.

I've been very lucky in that I've been able to do this, so many things could have scuppered my plans - good luck with yours.

The garage is used as a garage - its just too handy to be without and yes two upstairs rooms are now bedrooms. We now have a decent sized double guest room (which I used previously as the computer room), whereas before we had a small box room which was only big enough for a single bed.
 
The front speakers are now fitted, few more days work to finish the install.

Back to work tomorrow as I can't take any more days off, will post some more pics if there is something of interest, otherwise it'll be pictures of the finished installation.
