My hubby has wired some pretty fancy houses in the past 25 years. One feature in several that he has done is a special theater room. They are typically found in the basement, and can be quite elaborate. They might include surround sound, a big screen TV, a sloped floor and special theater seats. One guy even had a snack bar complete with a movie popcorn machine.
At our house, we have a huge basement, and for the most part, it is a catch-all and play area for the kids. We have joked that someday when we have extra money, we would have our very own theater room. Not likely to happen a) because with three kids, who has extra money and b) if we had extra money there are about 25 things higher on the list of what we would spend it on.
But, just recently, the kids installed a theater room. It isn't very big, doesn't have surround sound, but it is rather cozy. They have taken an old dining room table and card table, covered them with a big sheet. They added pillows, sleeping bags and blankets and have an old 9-inch TV/VCR combo in there to watch movies on.
Don't you just love creativity????
