Like I really had to tell you that!!! Ha!

I'm confused. Is the TV behind the doors above the fireplace? Or, is it sitting in front of the fireplace?

I don't understand why people ever started putting their TV above the fireplace. I like to look straight ahead to watch tv, not looking up.

The only thing I would add are curtains/drapes, I like privacy. The room itself is lovely and spacious and I am OK with the hiding of the TV!!!!!

TV is way to high....we have a beautiful field stone fireplace and I would never put a tv on the mantle.

@jubilant I find it hard to look at. There is a brass fire screen, grey stone fireplace, and then wood white barn-door look hiding the tv. Confusing to me. I agree with @NickNack--no tv above the fireplace for me. My neck hurts just thinking about it.

I was thinking it was above the fireplace.

Yes, it's above the fire place. I love it! I may have to take a screenshot and add it to my wish list of ideas if I ever find my forever home!

None of my tvs are *eye level*, they are raised up a bit.

But the barn doors are top heavy, overwhelming the whole room.

It's like a giant cuckoo clock waiting to happen.

Our tv in the den is above the fireplace on the mantel--a white wooden mantel and it is fine. It is far enough away from the furniture that the angle is fine.

I don't see any reason now to hide a tv. The flat screen ones are not obnoxious like the old huge ones, they are frameless, and don't look bad.

It is a piece of everyday life, and so you have a tv. What's shameful about that? We don't know what you watch! Home. Alone!

I love the idea of hiding the tv.

Trying to find something comfortable to sit on while watching TV.

We are thinking about doing this in our great room. We would probably do away with the fireplace and bring the TV down with cabinet under it. That is the way our entertainment center is now. Bookcases on each end and tv in the middle with doors that can close it off at pretty much eye level. It's a pretty big wall about 15 ft. wide with a vaulted ceiling.

Tv debate aside, I LOVE this room. So pretty!

I don't think it would overwhelm my room that we are thinking about doing this to. It is about 33ft. long and 21 ft. wide with a vaulted all wood ceiling.

I don't understand why the fireplace is hidden.

Yrs ago another shopping channel had a lovely wood box with an Asian theme that was for mounting on the wall to tuck your TV set in as a camouflage. Wish I had bought it , as I have been looking for something like it ever since.

Pretty way to hide the TV, but I don't see a good seat in the room for watching it. It's up so high, and those uncomfortable looking sofas are perpendicular to it

You're right. I didn't even notice! All the hullaballoo about hiding a flat screen and there's two uncomfortable loveseats or settees or whatever the heck they are and they aren't even facing the tv. What do they owners do? Bring out bean bag chairs?
