Top Five Media Room “Must Haves”
January 26th, 2009 Categories: Interior Design & Staging in NJ, West Orange Living
Superbowl is coming. Do you have the 2009 Top 5 “Must Haves” for your media room:
- 1. A large enough TV so that everyone in the room will be able to immerse themselves in the image, yet not too big where it overpowers the room. A good rule of thumb has been to measure the sitting distance by 2 ½ times the diagonal of the TV screen.
- 2. The TV screen must be properly situated (mounted or placed on stand) in a room where it will be comfortable to watch a 2 ½ hour movie without any neck or eye strain
- 3. Proper implementation of a quality audio system to accurately reproduce the surround sound experience. At a minimum, items needed are: AV Surround Receiver, Front left/right, Center, and Rear speakers. Also, a good subwoofer to replicate the low bass is critical.
- 4. Ambient light in the room must be controllable. Dimmer switches and window coverings are a must.
- 5. A one remote control system that will allow you to easily and reliably work all the features of your awesome AV system.
If you need help planning the perfect home theater give Saul Sutton of All Media Consultants a call (973.467.1103) for a free in home consultation…they can help create the media room of your dreams. Saul just updated a West Orange townhome currently on the market and did a wonderful job.

Best Places for Sledding in Essex County NJ
December 2nd, 2007 Categories: Just Because..., Livingston Living, Maplewood Living, Millburn & Short Hills Living, South Orange Living, West Orange Living
It’s SNOWING!!!!
Pull out the boots and gloves, grab the sled, load up the car and head for the best places for sledding before anyone else gets there!!!!
Since I was a little girl, my three favorite places to go sledding in Essex County were at:
1. The top of Francis A. Byrne Golf Course at 1100 Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange. The walk from the parking lot was always a killer, but once you were there it was great…and not very crowded.
2. South Mountain Reservation. Drive along Brookside Dr. between Glen and South Orange Ave. and you will see cars parked along the way. Try to find a spot and grab your toboggan for a glide through a winter wonderland.
Map of South Mountain Reservation
3. Cameron Field in Meadowland Park just below North Ridgewood Ave and above South Orange Village. You can park at the top or the bottom of the hill…watch out for people walking up for their next ride as you fly down fast and furious.
Don’t forget to load up on hot Chocolate!!!
Where is your favorite place?
