Thanks: Gave 99, Got 120 | My home cinema and room refurb
This has been an ongoing project since getting the keys to my new house but was put on hold when my baby daughter arrived 13 weeks early.
I wanted the a/v stuff in the new house (1970's) to be the same as I had in my old house (a new build). Here are the pics.
The living room as it was when we bought the house.
First thing to do was get rid of the glass panel beside the internal door (dont you just love the 70's).
Next on the list was remove the pink textured wallpaper.
Plastering all done, skirting removed and flooring started (note cables left for tv install).
The finished article facing the front.
And the rear.
Sorry there are not more progress pics I wasnt thinking about this thread when I started.

Nice job - bright & fresh.
Do you mind if I ask what colours you painted the room? We are looking to do our front room and you have very similar colours to what we want.

Looks great, how do you get on with your Harmony 1000
I had one but changed to a harmony one instead, couldn't get on with the 1000

Just wait until your daughter gets a hold of all that av kit on the rack  Fantastic looking install mate, but just to warn you that in the future you may have to invest in an av cabinet with a front in order to keep little hands out!

When this is done I will relocate the a/v equipment into the cupboard under the stairs.
