I didn't want to have doors open every time we wanted to watch something, so I am just going to have to style around them. I personally would prefer to have my built-ins balanced on either side, but maybe try to find some images and examples where they aren't so you can visualize your options, or don't build them all the way up and maybe it wouldn't be as noticeable? Best of luck!

We have a lot of solid and neutral elements and I love bringing in a bit of color and pattern (I have been known to do so in just about every room of our home). Hopefully, once all of the accessories and soft textiles are in the room, it will all come together. If not, I am glad I at least gave it a try. :)IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-43991887835562546042015-05-01T01:05:42.214-05:002015-05-01T01:05:42.214-05:00Oops!

Our TV will be mounted a few feet above the fireplace and all of the components will be placed on a shelf to the side. Adding a blower also helps to push the heat forward into the room. We made sure to consult the fireplace sales rep for TV installation advice based on our specific model and planned accordingly. :) IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-10869471764615278972015-04-30T21:48:45.062-05:002015-04-30T21:48:45.062-05:00Love it!

The framed print behind it (if it were fabric) may have been a fabric that would tie it to the room... And I loved the bench - that in an ottoman also makes the wall colors sortt of pop.

I was wondering if you had a good solution for using remotes without having to keep the doors open.<br /><br />I have been wanting to install built-ins on either side of my fireplace for awhile now. However, the space on either side is not even (1 side has 39" and the other 30" and is adjacent to a sliding glass door). Would it look weird with uneven cabinets/bookcases, or should I consider installing a smaller sliding glass door to make more wall space for even built-ins?Heart and Havenhttp://www.heartandhaven.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-79287208690648133182015-04-30T14:39:27.076-05:002015-04-30T14:39:27.076-05:00We have a tv over our fireplace-- a very similar f...We have a tv over our fireplace-- a very similar fireplace to Jens.

I have learned in all of my design experience that you need to let the room come together and not be so hard on yourself about what you think you might have to change. Most often it evolves to look just the way you envisioned :) I am certainly looking forward to seeing the reveal.SHERRY HARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169500278856819493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-82783077013453014292015-04-30T06:50:23.381-05:002015-04-30T06:50:23.381-05:00Thank you so much Jennifer.
