Hi,
We moved into our new home just over 4 months ago. The property has already had it's garage converted to an office/play room.
So the room was already habitable/heated (and it's attached to the house; accessed from a door in the conservatory).
One end I use for my office (work primarily from home), the other end is being turned into a "media" room.
Been working the last 3 weekends building the framework etc, still along way to go, but now starting to take shape.
Things still to do:
Finish cladding the framework (using MDF at the mo)
Installing high-level pelmets with blue rope lights down each side of the room
Decorate the false walls and rest of room
The final aim will be to ensure none of the timber frame-work is visible.
The kit I am using is in my sig, I am using an Ikea black-out blind for a screen. Trying to do the whole thing "cheaply", so far spent £70 on timber/mdf/screws etc, £22 on 10 metres of blue-rope light, envisage spending another £100 on timber and decorating materials. Not particularly experienced at DIY, so it's a steep learning curve.
When the screen is down, the 28" TV, consoles, and DVD's cannot be seen, this should (hopefully) keep the room clutter free.

Sorry not a very good photographer.
Already really enjoying the room.
I will keep this updated as I progress.
