Awesome finish to the project.

 

[Eddie L]

thanks for the kind comments
it was a fun project...for the most part
hardest things?
picking out carpet
something to go with the seat color and that had a pattern
but nothing too gawdy
and picking a screen
had at least a half dozen friends helping decide
of course some were happy with painted sheetrock until I put up samples
I've posted b4, the seats came from the 4th Ave. Movie Theater,in Anchorage, that survived the '64 earthquake
they're rockers and very comfortable
posters were plaked by Frameworth out of Toronto
did a great job and VERY reasonable

Very Nice! I sure know what it feels like to be at the point you are. Enjoy!

I like your use of the Armstrong "Tin Look" #1241 ceiling tile. I used #1240 spray-painted with gold lacquer. Also, I agree that picking carpet is tough. We did choose a very similar carpet pattern and color.

If you aren't familiar with my theater be sure to check it out via the link below.

Nice HT. I am still in the framing stage, but I at least have a clear vision. I was wondering about the light box. Did you make those? If so, could you maybe take a minute and explain? I want to do that as well, but they are kind of expensive.

Thanks
Don

thats a truly awsome home theatre

congrats.

 

[Eddie L]

Don I.
Thank you!
Here's the link to how to make your own lightbox. I pretty much used his plans. Did some tweaking here and there to fit my ideas, but it's a great and very easy plan. Built it for around $200. Would have been much less if I could have gotten the plexiglass someplace else besides a glass place.Lightbox Plans

Sean.....Thank you!
