Flat screen televisions have changed the way we watch our favorite shows and movies at home as well as the way we decorate. Gone are the days of the big console TV that take up more room than a small Volkswagen. As TVs have gotten thinner, we have pulled them out of bulky cabinets and placed them on prominent places on our walls. The only problem, they create a huge black hole when not in use.
The solution, turn your flat screen into something else when not in use for viewing TV. When I have a party or people over for dinner, I like to play one of several DVD options I have to bring a little drama to the otherwise dismal look of the dark screen. One of my favorites is a roaring fire. These DVDs play on a loop that keep the action going as long as you need. Other options include a tropical fish aquarium, laser lights, a funky lava lamp or rotating works of art. Seasonal DVDs with images of holiday scenes are also fun.
You can even make your own masterpiece with photos of family and friends from past events on your computer and then burn them to a DVD. The next time you have company, turn off the black hole and turn on something interesting!
