I hope everyone had a nice week. I just got back from my work trip and it's so good to be home. I am really looking forward to catching up on everyone's blogs over the weekend.
Hooray!!!!!It's Friday! When I was a girl growing up, Friday nights often meant a trip to the local cinema. Whatever was on the screen wasn't 1/2 as important as snacks we indulged in while snuggling down into our creaky theater seats.

To this day we love movie going. But alas! There's no movie theater within this tiny town of ours, so the closest big screen is a 34 mile commute to
Flagstaff.Being movie lovers, my husband and I always dreamed of creating our own indoor theater. A few posts
back, I showed you pics of the couches and posters we ordered that we thought would fit our theme of "Art Deco movie house". We'll, we ordered them, they arrived, and..... we could not get them through the TV room's tiny Victorian size doors!!! We pushed, we pulled, we argued... we gave up defeated. The upside of the couch problem was all the yards of bubble wrap they used to pad their journey. I am never at a loss as to what to do with bubble wrap!!!
Plan B. We ordered these small size single black futons online. And I set about, undaunted, refreshed and ready to make my boring tiny TV room into the movie house of my dreams.

Pulled down old wall paper....



Added... red paint to walls, charcoal paint to floor and trim, red velvet curtains to window, comfy shag rug on floor. Futons placed in L shape with added black dust ruffles to cover up ugly metal legs, and art deco-ey looking red and white velvet pillows.

Movie posters on the wall.... bookshelf from
Target in the corner to store our favorites, plus a jar of candy. This is also the future home of the mini popcorn machine!

To the right of the TV (in the pic below), there is a little closet that goes under the stairs where we house all of the electronic equipment and a mini fridge for keeping our drinks cool and at the ready.
Shhhh... It's time for the show!

I am pretty happy with the way it turned out, despite not being able to fit my pretty red velvet couches through the door. We still have a couple of finishing touches in mind before we consider the room complete, such as framing the posters and adding rope lighting and molding to the ceiling. I'll be sure to chronicle those additions. I'd love to hear what you think of the redo! In the meanwhile, pass the popcorn!!! :-)
