Redecorating…kind of!

Have I told that my husband can be pretty persuasive? Or maybe I just easily cave because I love him so much! Either way, we now have a TV hanging above our fireplace…..since we moved into our house (over 2 years ago), he has always wanted to mount the TV. I was never keen on the idea because I thought it would make our house look like a “bachelor pad”, so we ended up buying a really nice TV cabinet instead - I even let Kevin pick it out, hoping this would stop him from thinking about mounting the TV. Well it worked for a little while but then he brought it up again and really wanted to do. I finally gave in because I have decorated the whole house and that was the only thing he has asked to do, so we did it. We went out and bought a tilting TV mount and decided to put it up last week.  Hanging the TV mount up was not hard, hiding the wires was the real challenge.

On Sunday, my dad and grandfather came over to help hide the cords and move an outlet behind the TV.  This took a while because they had to drill through several studs and weave it down the wall.  We ended up having to cut out some dry wall just so we could get the cords thru the wall to see where we needed to drop the cords. Haha, I just noticed I have been saying “we” but I actually mean they…..I supervised what was going on though J 

Once the outlet was moved and the cords were hidden behind the TV, Kevin then had to patch the wall, sand and re-paint.  I must say, I am happy with it being above the TV because we have more room in our living room and more importantly, it makes Kevin happy. Oh the compromises you make in a marriage…..
