I did the majority of the work myself. The Theater is double drywalled with two sheets of 5/8″ drywall with Green Glue http://www.greengluecompany.com between each sheet of drywall and insulation stuffed in all the walls and ceiling. All the walls and the ceiling are isolated using products from http://www.pac-intl.com The front stage is completely filled with sand and I use a Biometric Fingerprint Door Lock for access to the Theater.

I surprised my husband with this media room featuring 100″ screen. Inspired by the style of HGTV designer Candice Olson, I did the work myself on a much smaller DIY budget. Complete shopping list here: http://www.ratemyfavoritespaces.com/2009/06/my-dream-diy-media-room.html
Details: Panasonic AE3000U 1080P projector, Denon 1909 AV Receiver, Aperion 7.1 cherry speakers/SW, Stewart Firehawk 100″ screen, PS3, DirecTV HD DVR, Apple TV, VUDU, Slingbox HD Pro, Harmony 890 remote, BDI cherry cabinet. Brown wall color is Sherwin Williams’ “Toasty” in flat finish.
If you need reinforcement with the wife or SO, email me. Tell them American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, HGTV, Food Network ALSO look amazing in 1080p. (With a Harmony remote, she can operate the theater too.)
Thanks for watching! Please note: The lights were on for shooting this video, but not when we watch TV or movies.
