No offense but I think this area is more reserved for those using a diy pj and building a home theater around that. You'll get better responses regarding your pj and other questions here:

DIY PJ or not, I'd still like to hear/read about your home theater build. You're doing a DIY theater, right? and this topic is in the DIY home theater section, right? so post away man, post a away! i can't wait to see more pics

nice color scheme. I think that's the toughest part of the whole DIY HT is picking colors. I like the sheet on the ceiling. kind of gives it a fake plush feeling.

I like those lights, where did you get then and about how much were they?
