Kim is in the midst of an L- shape home addition. 
Yesterday I discussed the fireplace. Today I want to discuss space planning.
Yesterday I discussed the fireplace. Today I want to discuss space planning.
The floorplan calls the addition a "family room" and a "great room." As I mentioned yesterday, the great room is too large/ long to be just one area. I broke it into what you would call a "media room" a "gathering room" and a "sitting room." Each "room" will have it's own focal point. The three focal points are: the entertainment wall,
the fireplace, 
and the wall of windows. 
For the Entertainment wall you can purchase a unit, like the one above from Hooker Furniture, or you can make a wall unit. With flat screen TV's- I am not a big "entertainment center" fan. They might as well have a thick TV in them. What if you made the wall an aged brick: (remove the stuff in the photo- imagine just the brick)- Build small walls to the right and the left- to have brick just in the media area- creating natural barriers.
And then added some reclaimed beams- (take this idea below- but make it more shabby chic :)
Does anyone else have any ideas for flat screen TV walls? Have you seen any entertainment centers that you like? Any Built-ins? What do you think? Give Kim some ideas!

Great floor plan idea! I like the 3 seperate areas. I especially like the brick idea for the tv wall! Other stone applications would also look nice using Christine's same idea. Maybe the stone or brick could be repeated in some way on the fireplace.
Also, in a traditional house, I don't mind an entertainment cabinet like the one posted. I think it's classic and homey.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with our flat screen too. My husband likes the look of a dresser type furniture and the TV above it. I haven't decided yet. I like the brick wall idea, as long as there are some good storage options somewhere else.
Wow! Nice topics, I am looking this type of topics. But I need more informations. I know a New Drafting CAD Site gives away over 100 House plans for free.
