Denice Shuty Yes, I like the white cabinets/drawers across the whole width. I would design a piece that went all the way up to the ceiling in the middle so that it looks like a built-in, so the crown moulding at the top would then wrap around the front of the cabinet. I'll find some photos to show you what I mean.

Bargain Backer You need to hide the wires.

Dytecture I would end the built-ins right underneath the windows.

Shoreline Renovations This was a design we used recently to solve a similar request

knc604 Thank you!! Yes will hide wires - tv was just mounted and then the idea of cabinets came into play. The white box on the right is covering some pipes so would be built over. Most of these designs would work better if tv was lower I think? I think the tv was mounted too high... Thoughts??

Stanton Designs-online design services Well is the tv at a comfortable height for you? Any built in will work around the tv and the windows.

Denice Shuty Yes tv is too high, an easy fix. Mount it just above your eye level when you are sitting down. Unless you only watch tv standing up.

knc604 It's a good height for watching further back from kitchen table and bc it's angled down its not bad height from couches. Thanks for all the input!

Kari Palomo Something like this would work too without the upper floating shelves.

Rachelle Plantagenet Wow! This looks exactly like my tv and cabinet in my living room! I look forward to finding out what you do - please post pics. We mounted our tv high as it is safer for the kids (increased distance from their little eyes and less likely to be hit with toys etc) I wouldn't worry about lowering it unless it really bugs you; you will get used to it super quick.

I love the top left pic of the first remark, it looks great. I was thinking for ours of something like this pic or something off the floor completely and make the whole unit wall mounted- maybe with curved sides. If it is wall mounted then you can see more floor and the whole space will look bigger but it just depends on what you want to do with the rest of the house. Goodluck and please post pics :)

Rachelle Plantagenet My husband just pointed out that you may not want to build cabinets on each side of your tv because it will restrict the size of the tv you can place there in the future - probably a very important point to consider ;)

knc604 Anybody have pics of something wall mounted all the way across that could work? Tv is only 42" so will have to leave open on sides of tv for resale purposes ;)

Rachelle Plantagenet Here is one on houzz which is mounted a bit low but it will serve to give you a good picture of how it would look in your space: http://www.houzz.com/discussions/68455/I-love-the-low-and-long-storage-unit-tha

Rachelle Plantagenet A few more for your perusal..

TVCoverups You may want to try TVCoverUps instead of a bulky wall unit. Framed artwork or panel provides the focal point, until it swings upward to reveal your hidden TV. This will also take care of the hanging wires and can be built to accommodate your AV equipment, speakers, Blu-Ray and other consoles. It comes in automatic and manual lifts and also allows for TV tilting hardware. Each unit is custom to the viewer and room, so it is always best to give us a call.
