decorating around tv's: part 2

Loving Ariana's previous post about camouflaging a big black television!  As much as we'd all love to have a proper living room with no TV, it's not always practical for everyone (especially us city folk who don't have room for a den).  The television has become the center of the American household, sad but true.

My dear friend, Charlotta, over at Space for Inspiration wrote us a little note about framed televisions mixed in with artwork and I agree, this is also a great idea!  And yes, Charlotta, I did a little homework and found some great examples.  Here you go!

The below two aren't framed, but they've done a great job bringing in some other dark frames that help the televisions to blend in more.  They trick your eye into thinking the TV is just another piece of art.

This is a great idea (if your walls can support it).  The wall is actually cut out so that the TV sits flat against it with the rest of the art.  There's no ugly obtrusion here, just a beautiful art wall!

I actually got this one on a website that manufactures custom television frames.  The mirror is made with a specific type of glass that hides the TV.  But when you want to sit in your tub and watch TV (so not for me, tub time is for bubbles and silence!) just turn it on and the image appears through the mirror.
So clever.  I also just really love this bathroom!
