Interesting, we have no supplier available that will install a traditional copper land line to the house. It's all digital (and no phone service in a few hours once the backup battery is exhauseted). I guess we can't have an elevator?

"Plus, sleep and marriage experts generally recommend to save the bedroom for sleep and sex, and since one statistic showed couples with TVs in the bedroom have half as much sex as couples without TVs in the bedroom" Really??? I don't know who these "experts" interviewed, but I can assure you that the tv has never presented a problem in the intimacy department in my own home. Also, I find it sad these so called "experts" deem the bedroom as the only suitable room for sex in one's home. IMO, lack of imagination, or perhaps some other undisclosed "issues" in the marriages of those who were interviewed by these "experts" seem to be the more likely intervening factor. Our bedroom tv sits on a bookcase on the wall across from our bed, since DH uses the armoire for storing some off season clothing.

I'm finding myself just so sick of electronic media. I love the feel and leisure of print and how user friendly it is. It's getting harder and harder to make money blogging and they are replacing magazines but since there is such a glut of good content, hard to find a reason to keep at it. I have a blog and have considered upgrading it, but every time I want to try something, I realize there is already a glut of that information out there. However, I still think there is something to be said for using your blog to communicate with customers. My dad's heart doctor is amazing. He is a big believer in preventative health and has a daily update video or post that he shares with his patient list. They are brilliant. If I had the money to follow more bloggers I would. As it is, they always end up suggesting things that I don't have time or money to implement . . .

You know what? You have the wrong accent wall! Can you repaint that side wall to match the rest of the room and make your TV wall an accent wall? Same color, different wall. You could also arrange some of those art works on the new accent wall . . . or not. Here's a setup that camouflages the width with both a dark accent wall and the floating shelves. I do think a wood piece below TV on an accent wall might look amazing. Sometimes some great pieces show up on Craigslist if you search for "sideboard" "console" "buffet.
