witheygull's theater room

[witheygull]

Most of my time here on this forum is spent lurking, with some occasional postings of a helpful or (hopefully) humorous nature. Now, however, I want to publicly document the transformation of the theater room in my new house.

I didn't take a true before picture, but here's the room with minimal work done to it:



The white area in the corner is where a gas fireplace used to be. I paid to have that removed and then replaced the missing baseboard sections myself. I also personally removed shoe molding from the bottom of the baseboard all around the room.

A constant thing throughout this process will be figuring out what I will do myself versus what I'm paying other folks to do; for some things I pay the iron price, for others I pay the gold.

The black electrical outlets and light switches visible on the walls I had an electrician install, replacing the white fixtures that were there before. He also removed the track lighting that was on the ceiling and put up the ceiling fan that's now there (it's hard to see in the picture due to the lighting).
