I'm Covering Up my TV for Holiday Entertaining



When we entertain during the Christmas holidays,     I always like to shut the TV off and have some soft Christmas music playing softly in the background.


I not only turn the TV off,   I cover it up too!


Off............................................................On
 

There's a small shelf in the top of the  armoire that the TV sits in.         I know,   I know,    my daughter is always telling me that "no one'"  has a little TV in an armoire anymore!       But I still love my little TV and my armoire too!


Anyway,   back to my shelf.     
  I have done all the Christmas decorating I'm going to do,    and somehow this shelf got left out.         
 

Since Christmas is just a few days away,    I decided to create a Winter vignette in the shelf.
 

This decor should last me until  early March or so.......
 

I need to share how I covered my TV,    don't I?      The fabric is the same length as the opening and I added about half again as much for the width.      I have the fabric attached to a tension rod with clips that I found in the shower curtain isle at Walmart.      In the next photo you can see how I just slide the curtain down when we want to watch TV.


See,   easy peasy!

Merry Christmas!

  1. I still have a tv in an armoire too. I paid a lot of money for it and I like it as a piece of furniture! I love your curtain idea. And actually, I like that yours is painted white. Mine is a dark walnut and I do like it, but I think I might just like the white better.

  2. Penny,
    Only you would decorate your TV armoire and use a cover to hide the TV and I say this as a compliment! Our Living room TV is always on ...even yesterday when i had a family party! We had it set to a station that plays Christmas music and then gives little tid bits about the music and the artist being played!!

  3. Penny, I love your armoire with the curtain. What a cleaver idea to hide the TV. I love your little shelf above the TV. I have two armoires. One is a computer armoire and the other can have a TV or clothing as it has a removable rod in the top. I think the never go out of style. I do love your idea of white furniture it opens up a room. You have so many great ideas. Ok, where's the I Love Lucky camper as it would be cute on top of the TV.
    Keep up the great work.

  5. I love this idea! Screens are such a distraction and focal point, I think it's great to hide them more often. Thanks!
