Our cabin was designed to have the TV on the mantel in the living room. {not designed by me} We've lived here 8 years and I'm working on embracing the idea of the TV on the mantel, but I will not embrace the cable box sitting next to it.
What to do?? Put it in a box. A decorative box. One I made just to fit. With scrap wood trims on the front.

MarcioWilges on Jan 14, 2015Great job! Now the entire display looks flawless and beautiful all around. However, I am curious to know if the cable box can actually receive the signal from your remote control because the cover lid looks quite thick. Nevertheless, I still think it is a neat idea and looks lightweight so moving it to block out any other ugly equipment would definitely be possible.

Country Design Style-Jeanette on Jan 15, 2015@MarcioWilges Thank you for your sweet comments! Actually the door hangs open when the tv is on. If I was to redo it, I would have the pretty door flipped around so it looks pretty most of the time. Since the tv is usually on. :( I really am thinking about redoing the door with gaps between the trim for the signal to go through and then keep the door closed. Jeanette
