You wanna flat telly on the wall below where that big picture is, real waste of space those big floor telly's. Just look how Martin T has his telly may give you an idea.

Alex, just invite me and a few mates round - we will soon mess that up for you
I like that floor - when I get round to it, I will put some gallery pictures up.
Some people have no idea what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at it.

We toyed with that idea on this makeover, but if I do it, my plan is to build a false wall between where the speakers are, about 6" into the room, but with some kind of hidden access to cables etc, with a bigger screen on it, and hidden mood lighting behind - not enough time or money at the moment! However, the way we have the room at the moment it s better in the corner as easier for everyone to see from both sofas. We shall see - new sofas next (the big one doesn't look too bad in the pictures but the coating is coming off the leather in lots of places and the seats are sagging a bit, plus a 5" split in one of the arms. And if there's ever any money left, replacement speakers - though that may nearly be sorted... Should know tomorrow.Originally Posted by Andre

Due to the "springs going"? Interesting...
I can't think what you must be doing to make that happen, but there's a certain coital position, perhaps, which may explain it, although I doubt rubber dolls are that heavy!
