Hey guys! Today I want to share with you how I made the TV disappear in my bedroom. I've always struggled wondering what to do around, above, under, beside, ... the stupid TV.
I love chalkboards so why not have one in the bedroom. I had this old piece of plywood that used to be the back of a bookcase we used to have in the living room. I painted it with chalkboard paint and left the edges raw so that they would mimic trim.
After applying 3 coats of paint, I hung it above the dresser, behind the TV.
Notice how the TV isn't the focal point anymore... Yay!
I added hooks and little baskets that I've collected from the thrift store.
I love how this looks. What do you think?
I hope you were inspired!
Thank you for stopping by Thrift My House.

Brilliant!! Love how you've changed the focal point and made the tv disappear in front of the chalkboard.

That was a terrific idea it just totally blends in with it now and such a great idea to add the baskets along the top, gives it that extra border to draw your eye away from the tv!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nifty idea, I love the creativity and functionality combined in one perfect project!
ReplyDeleteJemma
Brilliant! And the idea to leave the edges natural is something I never would have thought of.
ReplyDelete(Who am I kidding...I wouldn't have thought of any of it!)

ReplyDeleteSweet friend, how are you? It's been AGES since I have visited....forgive me! My blog visiting has been put to the backburner and I think anytime I have been blogger on I have missed your posts. Oh, how I have missed you!
ReplyDeleteI love how you decorated around the tv :) It looks fabulous.
Thinking of you! Hugs!
This is such a great look...what a wonderful idea! I love it! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteWell, we just moved a TV into the Master Suite, The Man wants one in there and I've been wondering how to make it disappear, while still enjoying that we have it in there to watch. This is a wonderful suggestion, it does virtually disappear! Thank You for Sharing! Blessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian
