10 Gadgets To Build Your Own Home Theatre – Having your own personal home theatre is a dream that a lot of people have. However, many homeowners don’t even know where to start. It can be expensive, so don’t feel pressured to do it all at once. Here are 10 useful gadgets to help you build your own home theatre.

 

Apple TV

Consider something like Apple TV for your home theatre system. You’ll be able to watch a number of different things using the resources available to you through Apple TV.

 

Skip Doctor CD/DVD Repair Kit

No one likes it when their DVDs get scratched and start skipping in the middle of an important scene. Luckily for you, you’ll have a repair kit on hand right in your own home.

 

Noise Reduction Blackout Curtains

If you don’t have the resources to soundproof your entire theatre right now, pick up some noise reduction blackout curtains to make sure your movie isn’t heard throughout your entire house.

 

3D Glasses

3D movies might not be an option every time, but you’ll be glad you have the glasses on hand when you can watch the next thriller in 3D!

 

Wireless Headphones

If you have a sleeping baby in the house, or you just want to be conscious of the sound you’re making, invest in some wireless headphones for your home theatre.

 

Power Protector

Safeguard your home system from a lightning strike or power surge. Choose a power protector with built-in line conditioning to ensure cleaner power, a better picture, and more accurate audio.

 

Universal Remote

No one wants to mess around with four or five different remotes for their home theatres, so get one universal remote that you can use for everything.

 

Projector

For a larger screen, like one you would see in a movie theater, use a projector. It’s one step above a tv and will add that much more value to your home system.

 

Surround Sound

The surround system in some home theatres varies; however, most of them use a 7.1 surround sound system. This includes one subwoofer and seven channel speakers – left, right, center, two side surrounds, and two rear surrounds. Action movies will never be the same after you watch them in your own home theatres.

 

Lighting

Lighting in a theatre can be important, so make sure you take the time to figure out the lighting in your home theatre.

Outdoor Spring Decor Tips For Your Home

4.7_BRitaBoswell

Outdoor Spring Decor Tips For Your Home – The springtime is arguably the best time of the year. It’s beautiful, bright and full of so many different colors. Take full advantage of the season and make your home look it’s very best. Here are five great outdoor spring decor tips for your home.

 

Go Bold

If you’re redecorating your outdoor furniture, consider going bold with vibrant colors. New seat cushions or outdoor throw pillows will help enhance the beautiful colors of spring, not to mention a fresh new vibe could make the space more inviting.

 

Make the Most of Small Space

If you have a small backyard or back patio, make the most of the space by adding a small table and some chairs. It’s more important to be able to socialize in a small space, than just stare at a small space – and who doesn’t want to be outdoors in the springtime?

 

Plant Fragrant Flowers

One of the best parts about spring is the different smells. Fragrant flowers and plants will take your senses to a whole new level and will make guests feel even more welcome in your festive, fragrant home.

 

Install Lighting

Whether you’re installing lights, lanterns or candles, light your outdoor space up with an additional light source. This will allow you to keep your outdoor activities going well into the night.

 

Add a Rug

Like an indoor space, a rug enhances the space and ties all of the colors together. Consider getting an outdoor rug on your back porch to do just that.

 

Decorating your outdoor space can be just as fun, if not more, than decorating your indoor space. To learn more about outdoor spring decor tips for your home, visit here.

Highligh: A Treehouse in Columbus

Highlight: A Treehouse in Columbus

What do you do when you find the perfect house lined with old shade trees? Build a treehouse!

That’s exactly what Mike and Jamie O’Leary did when they found their home in Clintonville, Ohio. All they needed was the right sized yard, an old tree that was big enough, and they were able to accomplish their dream.

It’s not just for kids, either! “I do yoga up there occasionally,” says Jamie.

Before this, they were living in Italian Village in a small industrial loft, so they really wanted to find something more “family friendly.” Although they loved living in Italian Village, they needed something more practical for kids.

The O’Leary’s wanted a place that kept them near certain things, such as parks, farmers’ markets, and libraries.

After a year of looking, they finally made a decision on the Clintonville house.  They adorned their home with pieces from Grandview Mercantile, IKEA, Clintonville online Facebook groups, Etsy, and Wholly Craft.

After moving around from Philadelphia, to D.C. and New York, they settled on Columbus to be closer to both of their families and found an amazing food and beer scene in central Ohio.

Mike aims to soundproof the garage for space to practice with his band, We Are The Movies, make the porch an art room for his daughter, finish the attics, clean up the yard with some landscaping, and making some improvements to the basement.

The O’Leary’s are very happy with their decision in Clintonville, as it is very kid-friendly and Clintonville did just top Columbus Underground’s reader poll as the Best Neighborhood of 2014. Let’s see if it can keep it’s title in 2015!
