Family room makeover

The kids moved out so it was time to reclaim the family room as our space and with a bit of imagination and research I think we did a great job

Re: Kids moved out

Hello @warrenr

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fabulous to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your family room makeover.

 

Your family room looks fantastic, would you be able to tell us the areas that you've repaired and upgraded? Are those acoustic tiles on the ceiling? I'm sure movie night is much more relaxed and enjoyable now. 

 

If you have any other information you can share about the family room build, it would be very much appreciated.

 

We look forward to hearing more about your family room revamp.

 

Eric

Re: Kids moved out

Hi Eric thankyou for the positive feedback .We had quite a bit of damage to plaster walls from storm damage so after roof was repaired I set about removing all wall plaster and replacing with axxon cement sheets .then I did a false ceiling with studs to create a centre area for foam accoustic panels .before plastering the drop ceiling we ran lighting cable for led smart lights which came up fantastic. I installed double slider doors on entry .I ended up using the 1 MTR carpet squares I saw at Bunnings on floor and they worked out perfect over tiles and saved me over $1200 on carpet layers. Porters paint flat on walls .yes we had first movie night last weekend . thankyou for your interest .
