Still a LOT to do: Trim, hushbox, finish lighting. Door and rack trim will be 1x4 and baseboard will be 1x6 clear maple to match the rest of the house.

Stuff still to be done everywhere. Here you can see trim, hushbox, lighting, HVAC supply diffusers. The light above my chair will be a small spot with a very directed spot (probably with a small can around it) so I can read or whatever while I'm relaxing by myself.

The nasty hanging halogen will be replaced with a track light to splash different colored spots on the screen during intermissions and ingress/egress. You can also just see the rope light "halo" around the screen on the side-walls and ceiling. It looks better in person. I still need to put some kind of blocking in to stop the ring of light around the floor, wall, ceiling, so the soft glow is just behind the screen. I still need to put the border on the screen. The 'halo' light is only on during trailers, football, games, etc. It's off during movies.

Carpet is black, with confetti flecks in a grid pattern. The rope light is sunk into a reveal built into the riser. Looks sweet with all the lights off.

ATS Acoustics SandShapes Series acoustic panels. 24"x48"x2", 4 on each side. Mostly covers the first reflection points for both rows, all seats. I went for a balance between aesthetics, performance, and full treatment.
