Screen porch with Fireplace
These shots show a fireplace in a second home we designed and built which includes a hidden compartme for electronics and the TV. When the home owners are away, a map is slipped into the frame above the quarter sawn oak mantle, protecting the electronics from theft and the elements.. When in residence, the map is removed and stored in a frame on the opposite wall. As you can see from the photos, the TV has a tight built in appearance within the bold frame surround.
Also look at the faux finish applied to the CDX plywood decking, replicating a random width plank hardwood.
