In April 2007 I moved into a small ranch house in Manheim, Pennsylvania.  I had previously setup a very basic Home Theater projection system in the unfinished basement of my former residence, so one of the prerequisites for my new home was to have available space to install and improve my theater.  Fortunately, I was able to find a home with a finished basement which included a 25'x14' area fairly well suited for the home theater - the only drawback being a low 6' 6" ceiling.  It still works out just fine, the only issue being the low mounting height of my projector - more than a few guest have accidentally bumped their heads on the projector while going to their seats! 

Currently, I'm working on the interior design aspects of the theater - lighting, wall panels and trim, seating, and other accessories, to make the room look more like an actual movie theater.  I built a wood "stage" covered in carpeting at the front of the room, for the three large front and center surround speakers.  I also painted the walls from their original white color to a navy blue. I will soon be creating some multi-layered Deco-style wall panels on which to mount 8 Art Deco wall sconces onto the side walls. I also installed a back-lit movie poster light box on the theater wall - complete with marquee race-lights around the edges.  It will be an on-going process over the next year or so before I have the room set up the way I want it.  But, that isn't going to stop me from showing movies to all my friends and family in the meantime - as they say in the theater business, "The Show Must Go On!"

The "Frey Home Theater" room as it appeared on June 11, 2008 - new black carpet has been installed, and a new "stage" has been constructed to lift the front surround speakers up off the floor.  The stage has been covered with a contrasting plum color carpet,  which will match one of the four colors used on the Art-Deco wall panels and light sconces that will soon be installed.
