So, we have furniture now. The room got a ton of use this weekend.




All that remains at this point is:
- Framing the screen
- Switch plate covers and can lighting inserts
- Final paint touch-ups
- Door hardware installation

I won't be updating for the rest of the week, as I'll be in Chicago for training. When I'm back next week, however, you'll get to see the 100% final product. Well, for the theater room anyhow. The rest of the basement will follow at a later date.

Well, we have color. We are 100% loving the brown ceiling. The walls are taking some getting used to, but are growing on us. We'll see how it looks with the furniture, which arrives Saturday. All that is left to do here is get the "screen" framed in, speakers set up, and then we get to start decorating the room.

Today was a MAJOR day. We have carpet!

The stairs were carpeted.


As was the theater room.






Additionally, we went to pick out our furniture. We ended up buying two of these sets. For one set we got the sectional with matching ottoman, the other one we replaced the ottoman with the table shown below. Furniture arrives on Saturday.





In the meantime, we have chosen our paint colors. We're going with a butterscotch color on the walls and a dark brown ceiling to reflect the dark brown carpet. Hopefully the contractor will be able to get started on that soon.

Nothing major today - the window casing was installed. However...the carpet comes on Wednesday, February 4, so everything will look much different next update. Then we're picking paint color and furniture - stay tuned!

Big day today - we have doors.



And trim.

A big day today! The riser has been constructed and the walls primed.

Also, last night, Empire Carpet came out and we selected a beautiful chocolate brown carpet, which should allow us to do some fun things on the walls. The carpet will be installed on February 3.

I think the contractor is coming today to hang the French doors in the theater room, but I could be wrong. Either way, all that's left in the theater room are doors, carpet, paint and furniture!

The contractor stopped by to drop off the wood for what will become the riser for the theater seating.
