I made and mounted sound absorbing panels in my listening room today. Much better looking than the blankets thumb-tacked to the wall if I don't say so my self. When I saw the Beatlesque fabric on sofas at Ikea I knew I had to have it. It took 6 months but a sofa cover made it's way to "As-Is" and my wife snagged it for $10 after her employee discount. Originally I was going to have a friend make covers for my Poang chairs with it, but my dear wife also scored sheep sking pads for the Poangs out of As-Is for over a $100 off apiece. So the sofa cover was reworked in to these panels. I used 2x2 drop-in acoustic ceiling panels which are very inexpensive (16 for $36). The contrasting panels are covered in freebie burlap coffee bags from Bodhi Leaf Coffee Traders where I buy my green beans. Not counting staples and 23 ga micro pins just $50 invested.
I have 4 ceiling panels left, but ran out of fabric and staples, so I'll get more of both and make some more. I'm whipped, it was really hot today so for now I'm settling in for a couple of Sierra Nevada Tumblers and (what else?) The Beatles Yellow Submarine 2012 reissue. :smoke:
