We had the opportunity to sit and share our vision as he sketched ideas, (his sketches are truly elegant) using his expertise to solidify our plans. He truly listened to what we said, and applied his knowledge to giving us suggestions which really met our needs. > We’d highly recommend working with Briggs Architecture in any capacity, Don’s talent, skill and professionalism are invaluable. **★★★★★ — Tim Burrows Metal Art & Design, LLC, May 2019** > I have had the pleasure of working with Don Briggs for many years.

Yes or no?** *(in Polls)* What do you think about having the TV over the fireplace? Are you against, or for it? Vote and tell us where your TV is currently placed in your home. If you have photos, post those too! A: The T.V. and fireplace issue comes up all the time and often compromises have to be made if they are to coexist in the same space. Fireplaces and televisions are both focal points and often compete with each other. How the problem is handled depends on the priorities and preferences of the homeowner. They are frequently placed side-by-side, which isn't ideal but does work in a lot of situations. Sometimes they are placed on perpendicular walls so both can be enjoyed in the peripheral view. Add a great view wall and the problem can be compounded. I don't recommend placing the T.V. over the fireplace because in most situations the television is too high for comfortable viewing. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
