Yes, susan is a big help, you can still contact here just click on her name. But i think there is a miscommunication? She would not say to put tv over fireplace. Next to it perhaps? In the meantime, did you tackle the colors/styles you like?

Did you have a question for me? I don't remember ever telling anyone to put a TV over the FP. Perhaps I was told that is where it was going or already was? Also would not recommend a sectional. I would go with my plan shown above.

No to loveseats and TV's over fireplaces. Sorry if that makes your victory sound hollow!

If you would give me the original post, I can do a new arrangement if you are sure the TV will be over the FP.
