Drive In Theaters are making a comeback…but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have one in your basement!
This creative Charlotte, North Carolina mom gave new life to the concept of drive-in movie theaters when she built one in the basement of her own home.
Designed by homeowner Tracie Stier-Johnson and Travis Hite of Weber Design Group, this space lets curl up in leather recliners while watching your favorite movies. The reclaimed wood walls make you feel like you’re inside a barn. But the shaggy green carpet and the rural horse mural give the basement an outdoorsy vibe.
“I wanted the space to feel like it was in a barn, but also like we were outside at a drive-in,” Stier-Johnson told Houzz. “The mural looks like the view you’d see from a barn and keeps the room from feeling like a closed-in theater.”
But probably one of the coolest aspects of the setup is the replica Chevy truck sticking out of the wall!
And because details matter, there is even a hay loft!
And of course, no drive in would be complete without a concession stand filled with tasty treats!
The theater features a fully-stocked snack bar, a vintage Coca-Cola machine, plus a barrel that houses a custom popcorn machine.
And if you were wondering what the rest of this North Carolina home looks like…here you go!
