When we moved in the house the nook had a very outdated oak built-in so we removed it, planning to do something at a later date... now we are having a very hard time how to fill the space!! The opening is 83" and the TV is 55" but we may get a 60". I don't like the console (too modern and color is wrong) so we plan to get rid of it. Our kitchen which is behind me, has off-white cabinetry so we thought of lightening the walls and making a built-in the color of the cabinetry but I'm afraid it will look like a big mess! I like the idea of covering the TV with doors but not sure how. Maybe we should just try to find a stand alone unit that fits? I've looked at many, many photos but nothing seems to look right. We plan to install gray and beige stacked ledger-stone on the fireplace to the right with a reclaimed wood mantle shelf. Would appreciate any ideas!!
