Oh, that is just gorgeous! For some reason, I never would have though that mustard colored walls could look so inviting! Of course, the color is much prettier than mustard! The room is sooo bright and happy looking. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif) It's really, really nice! Thanks for posting the updates...although it leaves me feeling quite envious!

1. If you look on the upper right hand corner of the TV in the 2nd photo you may see the light reflection from an IR emitter which is plugged into the wall with a telephone like plug and then gets hardwired back to the equipment via Cat5 wire where it is then connected through a distribution block and wired to each piece of equipment. I used the Elan Home Systems IR Control, it is very easy to install and setup. I haven't hard mounted the emitter to the TV as of yet because I'm still playing with the location, so far the top right hand corner of the TV works great because I can remotely use all of the equipment from the adjoining room. So to answer your original question, we can use the remote(s) anywhere in the music/TV room or the adjoining room as long as the remotes can visually hit the emitter on the TV. Slick system!
2. I have the centers wired in parallel (r/r, b/b to r/b) via a dual banana plug from the wall plate. It puts a 3.43 ohm load to the H/K receiver but so far I haven't had any heat or overload issues, a nice testament to the receiver! The two centers are sounding very nice, they really plant the dialog right in the middle of the screen.
I'll take some pics of the wiring for the IR system and the wiring of the two centers whenever I get a chance.
Thanks again for all of the nice comments everybody, I appreciate them!

Of course, not much I can add here. As many have mentioned, it's an awesome room...quite creative, really. As for the color...it's much better than drab ole white paint. One thing, that 'might' add some 'contrast' would be to paint the little recess in the ceiling a chocolate color, to match the furniture...but hey, that's just me. I think I have been watching too many 'home improvement' shows lately. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/grin.gif) Anyway, great job...I hope the effort you put into the room pays for itself (not money, obviously ![](/boards/images/graemlins/crazy.gif) ).
