iHoff.com - Media Room

Carter and Todd
Starting the first wall
April 2008
 

With the hot summers in Suwanee, Carla thought that Carter and Dad should have a summer project to work on.  So on Christmas morning Santa dropped off a Sony BluRay DVD player that needed a new room to be located in.  Below are the images through the progression of the construction of the media room.

Month #8 (December 2008)

After a lot of hard work by everyone in the family, we have finally finished (for now) our media room.  We found some great deals on eBay, even better deals at a local furniture store, and watched out first movie as a family "Ratatouille".

We added Carter's Star Wars Posters to finish the look

Final Seating
The room is so comfortable, we're having a hard time staying awake through an entire movie.
