TV in Disguise

July 29, 2009 by Jane T 6 Comments

tv above the fireplace concealed behind sliding copper panels - atticmag.comA tv above the fireplace may — or may not — be visible. That depends on whether it’s concealed.

Keep the TV out in the open, set it inside an entertainment unit or hide the tv above the fireplaced? Designers and homeowners are getting creative about how to incorporate a flat-screen in a room now that the latest technology is providing us with sleek and ultra thin TV sets. Many of you have seen Allison’s kitchen here on Atticmag, but her design extend throughout her home. While she was building her house Allison thought up a way to conceal the 46-inch TV above the fireplace in her great room. Unable to locate a cover she liked, she designed one herself. When closed [top] the copper screen cover appears to be a piece of metal art.

tv above the fireplace with copper panels open to reveal the screen - atticmagShe decided on sliding panels, 6-feet from the floor, because they would move easily and not interfere with the mantel accessories. She chose copper to echo the material she had used far across the great room on the copper backsplash and hood in her kitchen.

After making a sketch of what she wanted, Allison showed it to the same contractors who crafted her kitchen. The process for creating a patina on the copper was sped up by wetting the panels several times over the course of a few days, then framing them with wood leftover from an earlier project.

See Allison’s French Gray Island kitchen, and tour her Alabama Stone Cottage.

    […] Rev-A-Shelf makes this base cabinet stainless steel filler pullout for organizing cooking utensils.  I’ve spliced together two photographs for easier viewing.  A piece like this could be utilized to keep pets (and children) away from the range when it’s going and a matching pull-out could be placed on the other side, too.  During construction or remodeling it could be designed to use elsewhere in the home.  A full-extension drawer glide is attached to the top of the wood frame, similar to the idea used for our TV in Disguise.
