So two weeks ago I began the process of overhauling my small (9 by 7 feet) bedroom into a more spacious and comfortable bedroom theater.
Starting Furniture: Desk
Bed
Bookshelf
Wall Shelf
Tasks Completed: Wall Mount TV
Paint Room
Remove Furniture
Re-arrange bed and media center
Mount front speakers and route sub wiring under the floor
Run all wires in the wall to the back of the tv
Remove blinds and replace with curtains
Problems Run Into Along the Way:
While running wires in the wall my friend and I realized there was a horizontal stud (fire-block) that didn't show up on the stud finder and had to cut an access panel in the closet behind the wall to make a notch in the fire-block to run the cables.
Finding Curtains that fit my windows and blocked out light: let me tell you, I spent a whole day just driving around to different stores to find curtains that would fit my odd shaped windows and would block out the light as well as match the colors of the room, ended up finding perfect set at target of all places
Tasks to be completed: Conceal speaker wires completely
Mount Rear surround speakers and hide wiring
possibly paint bed frame to match media center
Hang up autographed memorabilia and painting
Install a shelf above bed for phone and misc items
Possibly furnish a Headboard for my seeing as it
doesn't sit flush with the wall due to a heating
vent that is there.
I will add more pictures as things get done, any suggestions or comments, especially compliments! would be great, and I'd be glad to answer any questions. Hope you guys like it, cuz I freaken' love it so far
