It is very common in 1920-1960's foursquare homes to have an outdated fireplace taking up precious wall real estate. More often than not, these same houses lack a modern layout ideal for today's common 50 inch Flatscreen TV. One great solution is to boxout that fireplace with some sweet trim and turn it into your new flatscreen TV tower. Don't worry about stockings, you can still place a mantle on your tower. Just imagine, the television mounted to the wall at a perfect viewing level. Your neck will thank you!
