Disguise or hide an antenna?

I'm interested in ideas for hiding or disguising an inside TV antenna in our living room. (See picture.) I thought about draping a fishnet in front of it and then lodging items like starfish, shells, driftwood, etc in it. My husband wants to do an abstract painting on a framed canvas and hang it in front of The antenna. I'm just not sure about either idea. I some creative ideas. Thank you.
Make a shadowbox frame around it, (for the depth) possibly move it down a few inches and have the frame wide enough so it covers part of the cord as well. then you can either use a painting or various artwork to use on the glass Or even mover your clock to cover it.
Make a lattice "box" the width of the TV and decorate with seashells.
You could paint the wire the same color as the wall so it blends in.
Hello EcbHamaker :) My first thought was a thick "frame" like a thinner shadow box sort of frame with a picture displayed that goes with the room decor, but I don't know if that would interfere with reception (at least if it DID then it coudl be undone to get reception back). Is there any way your television could be wall-mounted and then the console it is sitting on could be used as a display table ? or would wall-mounting the television to "hide" the antenna behind it also interfere with the reception?
Good Luck Ecb :) Thank you for asking HOMETALK for suggestions :)
Think I would do a panoramic photo print and get that click together metal framing thats about 3/4" - 1" thick so it will act as a shadow box over the antenna. http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Autumn-Aspens-with-Snow-Colorado-USA-Posters_i1712959_.htm?UPI=OJQOW0&PODConfigID=4990603
