Basement...almost done

[Halon451]

I REALLY wish I hadn't opened this thread. I cannot unsee these pictures now and am at least for the foreseeable future, ruined on all aspects of home theater design. Outstanding work to say the least!!

This thread actually got me thinking - is there, or has there ever been a sticky, or link within AH to showcase some of the more noteworthy HT rooms owned by our regular members? I believe that would be a very good reference for ideas and inspiration to the rest of us - something like this would definitely be at the top of the list. Just an idea.

Honestly this is the nicest Home theatre I have ever seen.

If God had a home theatre room.....this is what it would look like.

Beautiful is all I can say.

Thank you SO much for bumping this thread up. I have been looking for this for so sooo long.

+1, this is one of the classiest home theaters I have ever seen. It could def be featured in a HT magazine.

Wow! This is stunning. Simply beautiful. I could not afford that. Every day I dream of a set-up like that. Excellent. (Thanks for uploading the higher resolution photos).

The only reason I saw it is because somebody linked to it in another thread and I forget who or why

Wow, I saw the title of the thread, and thought cool, my basement is almost done too, I'm getting carpet next week, will be putting the trim up this weekend, so I clicked on this thread, I looked at the pictures, and now I think I'll just go home and sit in my crappy basement and have myself a good cry. I'll try to console myself with the fact mine cost less, and will look it...

Seriously, mine's going to be an embarrassment now.

Anyway...awesome basement, very well done, I can only dream of having something that nice one day. If you ever need a house sitter while you're on vacation...

(I think it might be time to sell our house and start over again...try to do it right this time.)

I've been trying to convince my mom to let me design a home theater in our basement. Right now it is really ugly and gets no use because theres nothing down there. She was just like blah blah blah no. Then I showed her this and she was like "wow, thats beautiful, get an estimate." lol.

If I had a basement, this would be exactly how I felt

Back from the firey depths...

Im in the process of finishing up the framing of my complete basement finishing project. Im loosely copying this layout.

My question is, is there a point in double drywal on the 3 walls in a room like this when the entire back and a decent portion of the left side is wide open?

I don't know the answer to this. I did not do double drywall. What is the purpose of this...sound deadening?

 

[westcott]

I think you would get a very low return on your time and money spent with a floor plan like yours. A large area would be hard to improve through double drywall use.

Had not seen your dedicted space in a while. Really well done. Thanks for bringing back to the top.

Thanks. Did you see the pics in post #14 of this thread?
Clicky. Sadly, despite the fact that this was posted a few years ago and titled "almost done", there has been no change to the theatre. We were going to do a tile backsplash for the bar but never got around to it. What you see is likely going to be the end product. In fact, we STILL don't have anything in the cubbyholes in the walls. My youngest was born just after the theatre was completed and we haven't had time for much else. Plus, all my extra time and energy (and money) has gone into my cars and some racing in my spare time.
