Picking Up Where We Left Off

Remember this project? Unused fireplace that the homeowner was never happy with, and really not doing much for the beautiful room other than taking up wall space!

Well, a great solution presented itself when it was decided to hang the flat-screen TV at the fireplace. Now, I love a wonderful TV, and am amazed at the current technology. Even better though, I like the opportunity to hide the TV in a beautiful cabinet so that when you're not watching it, you have something else to look at. Here's a sketch of what we came up with to solve this problem.So here are a couple of shots of the new cabinet going into place. The unit was built off-site, and painted to match the new trim color in the living room. Notice the deeper box that was designed to accommodate the cable box, DVD player, etc. Also, power is being run into the cabinet for outlets and sconces for the built-out piece above the cabinet (not yet shown).


By taking very careful measurements, the unit slides right over the brick fireplace. Doors and trim pieces will be installed tomorrow, and I promise to have finished pictures for you next week! I bet you're as anxious as I am!
