The budget is around $7,500. Then the risers, chairs, paint and accessories. I have the perfect setup for a rear projection. Roughly 2/3 of my basement is finished (had been my oldest daughters room) with a dividing wall separating the remaining space, unfinished and used for storage.
As you come down the stairs and enter the room, on the right is a full bath, behind it is the bar. This kind of seperates the enterance from what will be the media area. So actually it will be at least two spaces and maybe three if we decide to make a "mingle area" away from the bar and main TV. Keep in mind there will be a smaller flat screen on the wall behind the bar.
I am stoked and want to get started however I just booked a disney trip that would almost cover the price of my media room (dayum rat). But this will in all likelihood be the last vacation for our family as it is now. The girls are growing up and will be gone very soon. We are sad to see them go (but we raised them to be on their own) and the media room helps ease the pain :rofl:
