Although the room its self is completed today (not the theater) I will spend some time telling you about the design. Some of the criteria of our choosing the floor plan of the home was it had to have an office, a large enough garage to park my truck and my wife’s car, and a room large enough for a home theater at least 20x14. That’s it everything else was negotiable. So after much debate we landed on the Derbyville form Donald gardener (http://www.dongardner.com/plan_details.aspx?pid=2799). The plan was a close match to our specifications but not quite. The garage wasn’t quite large enough to fit my truck and the bonus room was not conducive to a home theater at all. But with the help of my good friend and structural engineer Tommy Harris we made some slight modifications to the garage size which in turn made the bonus room larger. Then one small tweak on the dormer and now we have a room worthy enough to call a home theater.
You will see in the before and after pictures of the plan change we were able to modify both the garage and the bonus room with little effect to the outside appearance of the home. One unplanned bonus to the change of this room was we ended up with a rather large attic space on the left side of the room, once we started framing the home I saw the potential of that attic space to become a great room for a library to house our ever growing movie collection. It could also double as access to the rear of the whole house media rack to be discussed in later blogs. So I decided to go ahead and finish that space and utilize it.

Buying a home theater will of course cost you a lot but you’ll also be able to enjoy its benefits. Once you buy a home theater you need to design your room accordingly. This will help you get the actual movie experience. After investing time and money in buying the home theater system, put some more effort and buy the perfect home theater furniture and convert your living room into a movie place.

I agree with you Thomas! It’s really fun to have a home theater. You get to enjoy watching movies any time you want and it’s really a great place to bond with your family and friends. You just have to sit back there, relax, enjoy each other’s company and the movie you’re going to watch. ;)
