I surprised my husband with this media room featuring 100″ screen. Inspired by the style of HGTV designer Candice Olson, I did the work myself on a much smaller DIY budget. Complete shopping list & prices on my blog: http://www.ratemyfavoritespaces.com/2009/06/my-dream-diy-media-room.html

Details: Panasonic AE3000U 1080P projector, Denon 1909 AV Receiver, Aperion 7.1 cherry speakers/SW, Stewart Firehawk 100″ screen, PS3, DirecTV HD DVR, Apple TV, VUDU, Slingbox HD Pro, Harmony 890 remote, BDI cherry cabinet. Brown wall color is Sherwin Williams’ “Toasty” in flat finish.

Now a few words for you dreamers…I’m 57, and I’ve been a DIY-er & gadget nut for years. My advice is start small (budget, screen, space) and work towards your dream theater. Lots of great buys online, especially eBay where I got the screen and Monster cables from authorized dealers. Think “pre-owned.” When I upgrade (inevitably!), my projector will be on eBay.

If you need reinforcement with the wife or SO, email me. Tell them American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, HGTV, Food Network ALSO look amazing in 1080p. (With a Harmony remote, she can operate the theater too.)

Thanks for watching! Please note: The lights were on for shooting this video, but not when we watch TV or movies.
