We don't have a flat screen yet, but like you I do notice how they tend to be the focal point in most rooms. <br /><br />From time to time I'll look at how to minimize it without having to buy a cabinet or expensive hardware (like the kind that flips the TV over) and I think I like this idea the best...http://fullofgreatideas.blogspot.com/2011/03/picture-perfect-tv-flat-screen-tv-frame.html. With more hung around it I think it could have more of a picture gallery look.<br /><br />It doesn't hide it, but like your idea it spreads the focus around. :)~ Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703471625303036611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248952091441165018.post-71755032395393396942011-10-04T14:19:22.666-07:002011-10-04T14:19:22.666-07:00I have the vast expanse of blank wall problem too!...I have the vast expanse of blank wall problem too!

The focus will be off the TV and on all the nice things you have on the wall.Dusty Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995342949736300755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248952091441165018.post-3856026685603247452011-10-04T11:31:15.901-07:002011-10-04T11:31:15.901-07:00I'd put the shelf and remove the frames so it ...I'd put the shelf and remove the frames so it doesn't feel so crowded, they can distract the attention from the TV too.

I've always wanted some kind of huge distressed looking tv cabinet (so I could close the doors and hife it away). Tv's are getting so huge and wide it might have to be gigantic then looks way to weird or bulky. Ahhh, who knows. But I really like your idea!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501027465285867825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248952091441165018.post-56945325254820319062011-10-04T05:58:14.409-07:002011-10-04T05:58:14.409-07:00I think the shelf is a great idea, but maybe you c...I think the shelf is a great idea, but maybe you could prevent it from looking too "heavy" by breaking up the books/DVDs with some pretty objects. As long as the shelf isn't too full, I don't think it will be too much!Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499001552662682541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248952091441165018.post-35282498629259645832011-10-04T05:50:53.741-07:002011-10-04T05:50:53.741-07:00I think it looks great with a bookshelf!!
