Domestic harmony on a budget.

[WilsonBros]

Even though I am not shackled by the dreaded WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor), when I did out our living room into a home cinema, I decided to keep it fairly discrete so it would function as both.

Wanting a room insulated from the outside world, I ensured that that natural light would be absent and noise be similarly kept at bay. Below are images which were achieved on my meagre budget, but gives me a fun time watching movies.

1) Boys to the left, girls to the right. Actually, the Missus has more action movies that I have, so let's not go down the gender route.

2) Side view. Chose to hang TV on wall purely for aesthetics.

I usually go for Budvar Dark. This is the last of a load of out-of-date Budweiser I picked up for next to nothing.
