I always had ours in cabinets in previous homes but now the TVs are so big they no longer fit in standard cabinetry. So, there they sit now- in all their blank-faced glory when they are turned off.<br /><br />You did a marvelous job of re-doing that cabinet to work for you. It really looks great- modern and not clumsy at all. Perfect- great job. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-52867038463674488642017-01-09T19:56:17.205-05:002017-01-09T19:56:17.205-05:00Hi Kelly, you are so right...why hide a TV.....got...Hi Kelly, you are so right...why hide a TV.....gotta sty real.

And yes, we all have them and mine is on almost all day long, so there's no disguising it. I'd love to see more shows that deal with hiding all the electronic stuff. :) You did such a great job with this project! Your paint job is amazing and everything is balanced out perfectly.

When I had the magazine feature done on my home a couple of years ago, they made sure they didn't shoot the wall with the tv. I have seen shows and magazines where they feature the TV over the fireplace, but I don't like a TV there, it takes away from the fireplace.Penny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-46715376003257390582017-01-09T09:21:04.241-05:002017-01-09T09:21:04.241-05:00what a fabulous idea...perfect...what a fabulous idea...perfect...bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-65817083905480290652017-01-09T09:11:06.764-05:002017-01-09T09:11:06.764-05:00Ya'll made a great looking cabinet..

I'm impressed with the idea and how well you two made it work! You are so right- tv's are a part of life and pretending they don't exist is silly. Because our tv is huge and creates a very modern look I embraced it with a simple black tv stand for a unified look. I just realized ours is about 10 years old- can't believe it! I like how you changed the feel of the room by removing the large armoire too. Glad you didn't get a ton of snow. The ice is scary but at least where you live it will melt quickly and you'll be able to get out an about in no time.<br />Liz@ HomeandGardeningWithLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470612105590699955noreply@blogger.com
