In my new house the entry room is a Large room that typically people use as a formal sitting area and a second dining area. I DON'T want to. I want ideas on what else I could do to the space. A play room? Some help please!
Answer
When walking into a home, I would hesitate to use the entry way, or the first visible room, as a playroom. Play rooms are seldom tidy because, well, kids will be kids and playing is their job. I, personally would not want to walk into my home and see or have guests walk into a play area. So, if you can set up the children's play things elsewhere, that would be ideal.
Some other ideas would be:
A Cocktail Lounge: Set up a good size fully stocked wet bar with glass shelving to display glass stemware, pitchers, wine and liquor. Collect vintage bar items for display and use them, too.
Have a couple areas of group seating in cushy chairs and love seats.
You could decorate it like an upscale hotel lounge or perhaps some tropical plantation decor with wicker or maybe an English Pub setting with leather seating.
A Hunting Room: Decorate with prints of hunting scenes with hound dogs. No hunters in the house? A taxidermy always has unclaimed or abandoned orders that are taking up space in the shop. Just ask what he may have that he needs to get rid of and you will instantly have some authentic "gaming" decor. In this room you can set up quaint library and seating. Framed prints of old fashioned fishing rods, guns, game and foul. Look at old English decorating for ideas.
A Home Theater: Get several love seats and set up a place to watch movies after installing a Home Theater System. Oh, don't forget the popcorn machine.
A Gaming Room: Have a table and chairs set up for board games and card games. Install built in shelving with doors to store games in. Have a wet bar for refreshments and snacks. Have a chess or a checkerboard table set up, ready to play. Have friends over for game night and play poker, Pictionary, Tabu or other fun games. Collect old game boards for wall art.
I would have a drop leaf table set up in any case. This way you can escape to have a quiet cup of coffee and a muffin or a hot bowl of soup and even set it up for a change of pace for dinner for two. While not having a bonafide dining area set up, it is there if you want a change.
You can still set up a living room of sorts but not your typical formal living room that nobody uses. I hope one of my ideas inspires you to decorate a style that suits your taste.

how can i build an attractive home theater for under $3500?
ashloooooo
Hello. I need help coming up with things to get for my home theater. My budget is $3500.
- My preferences include an electric 100"+ screen, and an Optoma projector. I also need a reciever, and a nice sound system.
- In terms of decor, I would like four seats (preferibly leather recliners if possible), attractice lights, and wall decor (maybe acoustic panels?), and I am able to get movie posters. I would like a curtian to go across the screen too.
- If someone could help me come up with a design, product list, it would mean the world to me! I cannot design for my life! Thanks a whole bunch!
- No more than $3500!!!!

I hate to say it, but the projector and screen could easily reach or exceed $3,500...The seats, lights, curtains and posters cost equally as much...And we haven't even talked about the AUDIO EQUIPMENT...Here's a website to a dealer I vistited who sells what you're asking for...Check out these prices: http://www.definitiveaudio.com/
