I rarely turn our TV(s) on and don't like to see them when not in use. Great room television is hidden behind custom sliding panels ( two go left, one right). DVD player, TV equipment, etc is in niche with shutter door. MBR TV is in an antique armoire that was in LR of our last home. It also holds sweaters and extra bedding. Main level guest room. Lower level guest room. We do have a large flat screen that is not enclosed in the lower level den. I don't have a photograph to share but it's on a pine chest.

I could swear I started a thread way earlier this morning, asking about mounting a tv and hiding the wires. I am looking at similar consoles as well as simpler tv stands that are lower. I have tried to find images and it seems really that you would be fine with the height of those cabinets which are very attractive. I just wonder if it would be in the way of the chaise part of your sectional but probably would be fine. Here is my dumb question---- where are the wires to the TV?

Red it is! Thanks for all your help.

Beautiful home, but the layout is not conducive for a huge tv in the Den and no alternative without adding walls in the open area, so I'd agree that is the best you can do and its looks good. I hope you attached the TV mount to the studs with lag bolts, a 100lbs, I would not trust the drywall to support it. I know they say with the right mounting drywall can support 135lbs, but just me, that heavy, don't risk it, it has to be heavy duty hardware in the studs. Also, having just mounted two TV's on the wall, don't get wrapped up about the 42 eye height viewing suggestion. Yes, I understand the logic behind it. But I'm not a ultra-fidelity enthusiast, mounting my TV's at 42" eye line would put them at the same height as they were on their stands on the tv furniture they were already on with stands. Basically making it pointless. I did compromise, because simply how it appeared on the wall, my first inclination was to mount them at picture height. Ultimately I elected to mount them dead center in the wall equal distance left/right, above/below. That's put the bottom third at 53" instead of 42" and haven't had a problem yet in viewing the tv and enjoying it, if anything when I look at it, I wonder if its too low and would look better higher up on the wall. Different folks will have different opinions, and different goals, clearly if your neck is getting tired viewing the TV you've mounted it to high, so definitely anywhere you want is not wise. I was tempted to mount the TV over the fireplace, but the shape of the room does not support orientating the furniture toward viewing the fireplace, and to put it the tv over the fireplace with sufficient space over the mantle for my taste would also put it high enough I fear it might cause neck strain to look up at the tv.
