New Family Room Setup

[Haywood]

After several frustrating weekends, we finally finished the Ikea wall unit in our family room, set up the home theater (other than the surrounds) and got our movies put away. The back half of the room is still full of boxes that we are going through and unpacking, so we don't have our seating, exercise equipment, bookcases or surround speakers in place yet, but finishing this wall unit felt like a HUGE milestone. I will not bore you with the details of all the things that made this miserable (uneven floors and walls played a big part), but suffice to say it was a nightmare.

The system consists of a 50-inch 120hz 1080p Toshiba LED LCD set, a lower-end Yamaha receiver, five Insignia speakers, a 10-inch Polk subwoofer, a PS3, a Roku 3 and a Squeezebox (thanks, CMonster). It is mainly there for the kids to play video games and kick back for a movie or some TV with their friends. Seating is by Lovesac. I'll get pictures of the seating up once the room is finished. In the meantime...

Nice! You're an awesome dad, to go through that much for the kids' area. Not sure I'd do that much... 'course, my main HT screen is smaller than that!

This room is the kids hang-out, but the back half is going to be the home gym. Those cabinets are also where most of our movie collection is stored. All ten drawers and the 12 boxes on top are full of discs.

The other half of the room is full of boxes and stuff that needs to be unpacked and it looks pretty terrible right now. I'm guessing it will be another couple weeks. I have two glass door bookcases to put in toward the back on the right wall of the room on either side of the door. I'm going to get an elliptical trainer and some kind of home gym to put in the back of the room. The seating is going to be a Lovesac Pillowsac and a Lovesac Citysac.

Citysac (Ours will be wine, which is a slightly different color)

Damn, if I had those I'd lose my job over non-attendence. :shock:

We have a Lovesac Sactional in our living room that is also insanely comfortable (and huge). Meet Couchzilla:
