I removed the frame around the TV, and pulled it out.<\/p>\n

Then I unscrewed the support base from the header and the TV housing could be removed. I took out all of the staples holding the leather covering to this housing and set the leather covering aside.<\/p>\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used \u00bc\u201d plywood to make a \u201ccabinet bottom\u201d for the hole left by the TV. I stretched the leather I had previously set aside over the plywood, stapled it down and trimmed the excess.<\/p>\n

I used another piece of \u00bc\u201d plywood on the inside of the opening to create a secure bottom to my cabinet and then screwed the leather covered plywood over that.<\/p>\n

\"clip_image006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I repurposed the framing that was around the TV originally to make a frame for a set of doors.<\/p>\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Attached the doors I had previously build and viola, new cabinet and storage space<\/p>\n

What a view!!!! And most importantly, no more banging my head! And that completes our remodel!<\/p>\n
