Great design. What is the angle of the tv/corner bookshelf? - We'll be building a brand new house soon and will be faced with the dilemma of where to mount the tv. We do not want to mount it above the fireplace (dislike looking up), nor do we want to mount it on the wall directly across from the windows (where the loveseat is in this picture) as we'd lose valuable seating space. Your bookshelf in the corner is an excellent solution to our problem! What is the angle of the bookshelf from the wall with the fireplace (45, 30, etc)? Are the cabinet doors in the corner the same width as the other side of the fireplace. Thanks so much! »

dswasserman Thanks for the response. Again- great looking solution trying to solve this issue which I'm sure many folks wrestle with!

OasisDesign&Remodeling Thank you so much...that means a lot to us!!! And yes, it's always the dilemma. Personally, I don't mind the TV above the fireplace at all. They can be adjusted so as not to have an uncomfortable "looking up" position, & it sure saves floor space & centers the focal point of the room. And with a new build, you can design the fireplace height & details so that you don't have that issue, So I wouldn't count out that option completely.Thanks again.
