Media Room Reveal!

Hello barbies!

Hubby and I finally got around to getting our media room situated! As you know, it sat empty (aside from it's obnoxiously bright red walls) since we bought our house, but in late January we began making some changes. We moved in our beloved sectional sofa from our master sitting room, broke down and bought and projector, hung curtains, bought some matching red throw blankets and last but not least, hubby built our 100 inch projector screen by himself! He welded aluminum for the frame, used white low-gloss laminate for the screen, and created a 2 inch thick felt border - go Ross! Some of the screens we were looking at cost upwards of $1,000, but he built ours for about $100.

Here are some pictures of the finished product, aside from framing our movie posters, which is our next goal. What do you think, dolls?

Valentine's Day Decorating at the BDH!

Hello barbies! I hope you're managing to stay warm this winter. It sure has been an unusually cold one in NC. We got snow last week - and temperatures have stayed so low that it still hasn't melted 5 days later! I used to be okay with the cold, but after 3 years of living in Texas for law school, my tolerance for it has dropped significantly. On a positive note, we did manage to snap some fab photos of the BDH in all of it's snowy glory.

Here at the BDH we're now all decorated for Valentine's Day. Can you believe it's already less than 3 weeks away?! We usually do a Valentine's Day tree, using a 7 ft pink Christmas tree we have and covering it in red hearts and garland. This year we packed up the Christmas trees without thinking about Valentine's Day (whoops) and by the time I realized I needed the pink tree, I was pretty sick of making trips with trees back and forth to storage. We did do wreaths and garden flags outside, chandelier hearts and garland, and a very glittery Valentine's table scape though. Here are some pictures of the BDH's first Valentine's Day decorations (with a peak at our new entertainment center and media room too!):
