Ok, so here is the story on how we ended up with two theaters, it was purely by accident, I promise you! My hubby placed an order for everything in Theater 1 (audio, video, projector, cables, speakers, surround sound, etc.. etc..) and then began to have the dreaded buyers remorse, so he went on Craigslist to see if there were any less expensive deals. Guess what happened, he found a gentlemen that was moving and selling his ENTIRE theater system for next to nothing. It was such a good deal, we couldn't pass it up. We went to the mans house and bought his whole system "assuming" that we could cancel our order we just placed, just a few hours before. WRONG! So, the rest is history, we were stuck with two theater systems. We had an empty basement and decided to set up shop with Theater #2. Below is Theater #1...
We are an Audiophile family and we love to spend time together listening to music and watching movies!
The kids love to have their friends over to play video games, too!
We save so much money having a theater of our own, as opposed to going to the movies!
Theater #1 is in the BONUS ROOM upstairs, (i.e.) the kids hangout! ;)
Here is the basement before the theater.
Here is the basement now!
There is plenty of room for the whole family to fit comfortably.
This summer, we may install some pre-fabricated Tuscan beams, so this room is going to evolve over time.
You can't tell in these photos, but the city view at night is gorgeous while watching a movie. It looks like a million twinkle lights in the distance.
You can find AMAZING deals on Craigslist, so keep your eyes peeled if you would like to set up a home theater of your own.
I found these large sconces at a Liquidation store and scored them for a great price!
These two large chairs couldn't fit anywhere else in the house, so they had to go in the basement. So, we made a game area in this area of the basement.
The kids like to play checkers and games here. There is also a TV for regular TV watching, so we don't burn out the bulbs on the projector!
On another note, Debbie from Debbiedoo's asked if she could feature our home as a part of her Home Tour Series, so if you would like to check out the tour, please visit her blog.
Debbie is extremely talented and you will love her blog if you haven't visited before! She is not only a fabulous decorator, but she is an AMAZING crafter!
Thanks for stopping by! xo ~Liz

2 home theaters.. My men would be in heaven. Tonight's movie was the last of the Black Knight series.... a def man movie, I disappeared to the safety of the master suite while the surround sound blasted 'dark knightness'.
Hugs, Gee

Hi Liz, in home theatre #2 did you paint the walls? Or does it look differently due to the lighting? Do you know what color of paint was used? It's a perfect warm neutral I was looking for. Thanks, Maria
How exciting!!! I love how you decorate both room...they are gorgeous...congrats on your home being feature at Debbiedoos...tfs
That all turned out wonderful! Both rooms are great! I'll have to visit Debbie's blog post on your home!
Hi Maria,
No, we did not paint the walls. The builder painted it a real soft beige color. It's almost a cross between a creamy white, yellow, and soft beige.
Wish I was more help, if I find the paint can I will let you know what the name is. xo ~Liz
Liz, what two amazing spaces!!! They looks fabulous! You guys have done such a great job setting it up and your gorgeous decor just finish everything perfectly! Congratulations on your feature at Debbie's! Going to check it out!
Liz...You have the coolest home ever! Two home theaters! Wow! Seriously you are my favorite decorating blog! I love Tuscan...and I love all of your wonderful ideas. I smile each time I see in my email that you have done a post! (:>)
I went to DebbieDoos...but there were no pictures of your home...just the words...I don't know if it is my computer...or if there was a glitch of some sort! So, I will try again later.
Love, Linda
Could you tell me where you found kitchen/dining table? The wood and cream one. Thanks!
Sonicgal,
We purchased the Dining Ste from a local store in our area. The name of the set is:
Homelegance Ohana Antique White and Cherry Finish 7 Pcs. Dining Set
If you Google it, you can buy it any number of places. Hope this helps! ~Liz :)
Everything always looks so beautiful in your home!
Having the home theaters is a sure way to bring the family together. I bet your daughter's friends love coming to your house to watch movies and play video games!
Congrats on being featured at Debbiedoos!!
have a happy weekend, my friend!
Looks like real comfy areas to enjoy a good movie! Your girls must really enjoy these rooms!
WOW! Looks beautiful, my boys would be thrilled to have two theatre rooms. Thanks for sharing!
Liz, I loved the tour over at Debbie's! The media rooms are fabulous! You made them both very warm and cozy! Perfect for movie watching!
Love it! I wish I had enough room to do something like that. Love your style, girl!

Hi Liz, just awesome, amazing, wonderful. You did a beautiful job in arranging and placing entertainment and furniture items, and keeping your theme of Tuscan, warm inviting decor...thank you for sharing your other rooms.
Hi Liz, just wanted yo say I shared your gorgeous home tour on my FB wall this evening, while awaiting the Nor'easter. Thanks for bringing so much positive home and family to many.
Hi Liz! I was just over at Debbiedoo's admiring your beautiful home tour! I love Tuscan design and your home has so many beautiful elements in this style! Such a gorgeous home you havedecorated for your family! I could shop from your home decor storage! Funny story about your 2 home theatres but really, they do come in handy I imagine. With 4 children and their friends coming to watch a movie, it gives you and your husband a room to watch your own movie or tv! Besides, it was another room to get to decorate, right? Love it! I'll be following now, looking forward to reading more posts and admiring more photos! Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Leena
Both of your theaters are gorgeous. I would kill for that much space. Gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
I have those same couches:) And I love the home theater idea! My hubby has said he wants a projector. Over time:) And those sconces are AMAZING! I have been keeping my eyes peeled for some ! Thanks for sharing:)
I'll take 3 tickets, please, for the 2:00 show ... oh, and an extra large bucket of popcorn ... thanks! Love your media rooms, Liz! I can only imagine how much you guys will enjoy them. And, I think it's great you guys ended up with two ... that way, the kids can enjoy one and you and hubby can enjoy the other at the same time!
I love all the images and your home is really fabulous. Two home theaters its a double bonus.
