Look what comes on Saturday! Yep, we found our theatre seating.
Originally we were going to go with a chocolate color but this specific set only came in taupe (what you see here and what we are getting) and black. I think that it will look great to have a lighter color in with all the dark colors.
We bought it from American and because of their "family special" we were able to get 25% off of the original price. We were able to get six seats for cheaper than a lot of them came for three. 
We decided that we were going to have the seats delivered before we built the riser so that way we can measure everything exactly. Our current room in the basement is about the same size as the new theatre so we are going to set them up exactly how they will go. This way it will be easier to know the measurements for the riser.
Once we get the riser built we will have the carpet installed. We have looked at carpet but haven't found anything we are 100% set on. I think we are pretty set on berber though. Probably one with a slight pattern. It's going to cost more than I originally thought but it will be worth it. With the riser that we are going to be putting in, it would be too hard to do it ourselves.
