This is my new favorite thread! I'm very impressed. Theater wise you did a very nice job (I design record/post studios for a living). Too many people neglect soundproofing/acoustic treatment. You really did everything almost to the book. The first pic with the red wall up I was like "he ruined the whole room!'. Now with the columns, trim and chair rail up I love it. Can't wait to see the whole thing finished.
