Man Room Built in TV unit

I am so beyond excited to share this project.  It has been a year in the making, and it is finally finished.  Let me start by saying this couldn't have been done if it wasn't for my husband who was the builder of this fantastic unit and my dad who helped us out with the crown moulding to finish it off. 

It may have taken a little bribing of a large TV with no home for it to go but it was well worth it.

I am not a fan of the big speakers but I was told they had to be there as it is a man room and all.

After researching many different options and styles we came up with this one.  It was build as one large piece and then pushed back into place. 

  Just as I was starting to paint

First Coat of Primer went on

This unit took a few coats of paint to get the color I wanted to achieve.  First I started with a dark base and then after seeing it I wasn't to crazy about it.  So I reversed the colors and did the base in the light and then mixed the darker color with a glaze and brushed it on. 

I still need to fill some of the spots on the shelves but haven't been able to find what I want yet. 

Theater Room Inspiration

I am currently trying to decorate our theater room one bit at a time.  I have a vision of what I want the final product to be but just need to get it done.  We have built a fabulous built in entertainment unit that I so desperately want to share.  Although it still needs to be finished off with crown molding and trim  so I will wait until that is done.  I am trying to make this my husbands man cave but with a little bit of feminine twist too it.

I just love mixing barn wood with modern touches, so I have a plan for a feature wall in the basement using barn wood.

The great debate in my house is a coffee table for downstairs I want something really cool like this trunk

I also ordered this fantastic fabric off of etsy from hbfabric.  This will be for the curtains I am going to make. 

Isn't it pretty

I still need to order some more fabric for the pillows on the couch, I am just unsure what color I want to go with.   I am leaning towards red or yellow.  I also need to find a fantastic area rug and some more accessories to fill up the entertainment unit. 

Theater Room Art & Fun Times at Calaway Park

Sorry for no posts in the past few days but it has been a really busy week.  We have just been having to much fun, but I managed to find some time to create something.  A couple of months ago I had come across a piece of art work at home sense and I thought no way am I paying $50.00 for that I will just make it.  

 I am trying really hard to make the space very manly with a little touch of feminine in it.  So I have created this  license plate art.  He was content on just having the license plates but I wanted to add the wording on top.  I starting by doing some searching online to find pictures of license plates and decoupaged them to a board I had made out of mdf and attatched it to a 1x4 board.  I used the rest of the 1x4 to cut out the square blocks. I am pretty sure these blocks were painted about 4 different colors before I decided on this one.  I finished it off with sanding the edges and stenciling the letters on.

I made sure to put on a Wyoming license plate in honor of a good friend who is from there. 

The Search Is Over

After dragging my husband into a dozen stores we have finally found a sofa that we both liked and that would fit the space.  I am sure he is more happy about the searching coming to an end than I am, lol.

We actually went into this search wanting a cloth couch but after seeing the features that this one come with we were sold.

The Chaise part goes up and has lots of storage for blankets and pillows.  I know I never have enough storage so this is perfect.

Also the couch pulls out like a trundle and makes into a bed, as we don't have a spare bedroom this is a nice feature.  Plus if we have the whole family watching a movie we can pull this out and have lots of room for everyone.  

A few more things like a rug and coffee table and this space will finally be done.
