This time of year, as film and TV awards shows are fresh on our minds, why not stage your own screen of images from the “times of your life,” even getting the kids involved in producing their own entries? Sounds like party time for sure!
Imagine the fun of viewing family events of years past, along with the very latest snowball fight.
For a major festival—when invites go out to aunts, uncles, cousins and especially grandparents, the best place to view weddings, first steps and all the important moments is the entertainment center, in the family room or living room.
The options for stylish and functional entertainment center furniture are vast, ranging from the stately and spacious traditionally styled Four-piece Coventry Square Entertainment Center in the opening photo to the playful Cayenne Ribbed Entertainment Center from Hooker’s Melange Collection below.

Usher your guests to Bradington-Young’s leather Sterling Sectional. It’s rich mahogany finish recalls the great movie palaces of the past but with all the comforts of your home.

Another fun seating option is the Bradington-Young Christo Chair-and-a-Half. What a perfect place for cuddling and snuggling as well. And, the chair-and-a-half opens to reveal a twin sleeper in case your movie fun is an overnighter. Inside the ottoman is roomy storage for blankets and sheets as well.

Popcorn! What’s going to the movies without it? And your festival need be no exception. Rachael Ray’ Popcorn 10 Ways offers 10 recipes for making popcorn even more appealing—including adding pepperoni, on these recipes here. But it’s the peanut butter and jelly popcorn that wins the Oscar for best snack among the kids.
This generation of youngsters is up for creating videos to “enter” into festival competition. Encourage them to come up with a story and then plan the visuals. To guide the filmmaking, get some hints from the folks at Videomakers. You might pick up a few tips to make your own movies better.
For screening room sessions like Hollywood, gather the troops in front of the TV in a console like the Cayenne Ribbed Entertainment Center or Coventry 4-piece entertainment wall furniture unit already mentioned, then let a couple of the young filmmakers find grown-up comfort in Sam Moore’s Darya Swivel Chair in fun orange and gray geometric pattern.

When the movie has been accepted for the festival, the kids will want to create innovations that promote their efforts–just like the big studios in Hollywood do.
The movies have been shown, the votes are in, and it’s time for the big party. Everybody’s a winner because love and laughter are hard to beat–and that’s what home movies are all about.
