Plasma professional display instead of plasma TV
Comments (1)Just make sure it's UL listed for home use (i.e. - doesn't require any special electrical considerations) and you should be fine....See MoreHelp with LR layout - TV, fireplace, windowseat (PICS)
Comments (2)Congratulations on the new home! This is probably not a suggestion you'll like, but... :-) Have you thought about trying to sell your entertainment center on Craigslist? You mention that TV watching is not the primary use of your room. You also are going to have a fireplace and I think you'd want to make that the focal point of the room and have the TV be secondary. With that entertainment center, it will probably be the focal point, fireplace secondary. If you sell the piece, you may be able to recoup some of the money you spent and have a piece custom built to fit the room. Since you said TV is not your primary function, you'd probably appreciate a piece with doors like in your picture from Houzz. We've found that many times a carpenter can build a custom cabinet, to your specs, for a small cost while they're building the house. If you just try to hire someone to do that while you're not building it can def cost more, but usually when they are already on-site those types of built-ins will cost less. Lastly, think about whether or not that piece of furniture is something you imagine being in your family for years and will never want to replace, and also won't break at any point. If it's not, I would be a little hesitant to build a room around it. Just a thought :-)...See MoreLR layout and tv stand--need help!
Comments (6)Actually, those shelves (and other LR furniture) came from Laz-e-boy about 18 months ago. They no longer carry the tv stands that complement the coffee/side tables, so we're stumped. Love the Ikea tv stand (cheap!) but it seems a bit "blocky". Also, what to do on the wall above it? And general layout--is it too much stuff for one space? And we haven't even started on wall stuff, pictures & mirrors, etc....See MoreLR/TV room re-do
Comments (12)I certainly hope gray goes with beige because that's what I have in my living room. The combination is accidental since the rug sample was greige and nothing like the gray color I ended up with. I've seen rooms where the accent color with gray was yellow and it looked fabulous. The purple is beautiful, and you could have pillows in yellow and purple both. Lime green would probably also look good. I think an Oriental rug would go quite well if you choose a more transitional rather than very traditional pattern. esalerugs has very reasonable prices and you can return a rug without charge. I paid a lot of money to return a rug from overstock.com and it was only a 5 x 8, so never again. What do you have in your room that is beige? It would be great if you could post some pictures. I'm attaching a picture of my beige and gray living room to give you an idea of the color combination....See Morekandrewspa
