Photos of the new basement.
It's divided into two areas, kids play area and the theater.
Here's the before. The carpet was ruined after an animal got inside and the carpet had to be ripped out.
I blogged about the DIY hanging art gallery system shown below here.
The DIY entertainment center play kitchen blog post can be found here.
We ripped out the dated lights on the theater side and replaced them with canned lighting. Also added a remote controlled Lutron light switch ($40), so we can dim the theater lights from the couch.
The sectionals are from Ashley Furniture in Logan ($1300). They have the best prices BY FAR.
We love this couch. The seats are big enough for two and recline.
TV is a 60 inch plasma. We were worried about the size but it is actually perfect for the viewing distance of about 8-9 feet.
The Nintendo case in the entertainment center above is going to house my HTPC and the room is wired for surround sound.
I textured the walls myself. It was a ton of fun!
We tried painting the far wall indigo blue, but the color clashed with the grey and looked awful. The original mud job was terrible and the semigloss showed off every flaw. We had to re-texture and repaint everything.
Things left to finish
Buy and install audio receiver and surround sound
Build HTPC
Buy mini-fridge and stock with Dew!
Touch up paint
Popcorn popper
Movie Posters
