New Basement Studio

Sorry about the hijack, but this is my Living Room/Studio/ Home office. Looking forward to seeing your finished space!

I used to have a living room that was similarly equipped - before I re-married... :)
 
The room is coming along great! Thanks for the updates!

I did a similar thing 5 years ago.

Yeah, they were , um... "challenging"...

When the house was built, no thought was given to where the HVA ran, since finishing the basement wasn't in the plans for the previous owners...

I pretty much had the same problem here. When the house was originally built, I think the basement was only meant for utilities and storage. As a result, between the I-beams, poles, HVAC ducting and 94" clearance between slab and joists, I had lots of compromises to make and wall positions and room shapes were partially dictated to me.

I was determined, for one thing, not to have any exposed infrastructure - especially the poles. So, there are some lower ceilings where the beams and HVAC run and all poles are hidden in walls. When I finish this last room - I'll show some shots of the other rooms.
 
...where a Drum set is going...either that or a bar.

Oh, decisions, decisions.... I have payed drums a lot longer than I have played guitar and quite a bit longer than I have been enjoying adult beverages...

So, I'm torn. How about building a bar around the drum set?
 
Great Project!
When we built our new house the Family got a pool, I got THIS:

16x25 music room - I can keep my drums and PA set up and I'm on 2.5 acres with no neighbors on 3 sides - Full VOLUME band practice 24/7! :D Well.... As long as it's cool with the wife! ;) LOL!!!
