THE TV.... A DELIMA.

THE DANG TV. WHAT TO DO WITH IT. WE WOMEN HAVE A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THING...IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. MOVING INTO A HOUSE WITH JUST ONE LIVING AREA PRODUCES A CHALLENGE FOR WATCHING TV. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE EVERYTHING FOCUSED ON THE TV. HOW TO HAVE A LIVING ROOM THAT IS COMFORTABLE, FUNCTIONAL AND IS ARRANGED SO THAT IT IS CONVERSATIONALLY EASY... NOT EVERY PIECE FOCUSED ON THE TV. YET, HAVE THE LIVING ROOM SO THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STRAIN YOUR NECK OR TURN THE FURNITURE EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO WATCH SOMETHING.

I FOUND THESE ROOMS THAT ARE GIVING ME SOME THOUGHTS ON IT...

HERE WE HAVE THE TV SHOWING AND OFF TO THE CORNER. NOT THE MAIN FOCUS BUT SILL FAIRLY EASY TO VIEW.

HERE IS A REAL POPULAR ONE. THE TV OVER THE FIREPLACE. ITS NOT BAD, (ITS NOT MY FAVORITE) THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A CLOSET TO THE SIDE OR BEHIND THE FIREPLACE, THAT THE WIRING AND ETC. CAN BE HIDDEN. REALISTICALLY MOST OF US DON'T HAVE THAT, UNLESS IT IS A NEW HOME.

IN THIS LIVING ROOM MOST EVERYTHING IS FOCUSED ON THE TV. IT LOOKS NICE, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK ALL TO WELL TO HAVE A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE AND CONVERSE EASILY.

THIS LIVING ROOM IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A TV IN THE ROOM, BUT HARDLY ANYTHING FOCUSED ON IT. IT IS A LIVING ROOM THAT WE CAN ALL SIT AROUND, VISIT AND SEE EVERYONE EASILY... BUT IF YOU WANTED TO WATCH A MOVIE YOU WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE CHAIRS OR SIT ON THE FLOOR.

THIS ROOM SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONLY A BIT BETTER WITH THE TV.  YOU STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM IF MORE THAN 2 PEOPLE ARE SITTING ON THE COUCH YOU CAN NOT SEE THE TV VERY WELL.

THIS ROOM YOU HAVE THE TV COMPLETELY HIDDEN IN THE ARMORIE. WHICH I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF NOT SEEING A TV OUT. YOU STILL HAVE A BIT OF AN ISSUE OF SEEING THE TV. 

HERE IS THE PERFECT IDEAL FOR LIVING SPACE AND TV. YOU HAVE YOUR LIVING AREA THEN A TV AREA. ( I LOVE, LOVE THE WAY THIS ROOM LOOKS! )

HOW DO YOU YALL HAVE YOUR TV AND LIVING AREAS?
