I never understand floating furniture. Usually it takes up way too much room and blocks visual space. Example 3 above completely kills most of the space on that patio. However in the other images there seems to be ample space and it works well.

I'm agreeing with one...,
but I feel like if there was more info, I could have more answers.
Do you use the fireplace much? Is the Dining room formal or can you put the dining room where the sofa and tv currently are and then use the dining area better? Do you own, so that you can remove a small wall? Are those phallic looking things doors, or door ways. While it's not great you could put the TV on a console table and float it off of a wall, tricky to make it look good, but not completely impossible.

I also Ditto Donald.

It's a great long term investment, but not a good long term solution for investing. The 30 year mortgage is one of the worst financial products that one can tie themselves into. I would suggest that people focus on saving up enough to work out a 10 or 15 year fixed rate mortgage. It's better to invest your extra money in other modes of investments and build up a nest egg to buy your nest a bit further down the road.

LISA,
4 year old? I would love this.
The only thing is, they probably should have built this inside.

I'm sure some AT readers can afford it, not me. This is really nice furniture, not IKEA. Someone might spend up to $2500 on this already, throw the James Bond/Batman retractable TV thing someone might throw in a few hundred for it. There is a unit for $3255

This would be great for those places that you do not watch much tv but do so occasionally, maybe the bedroom. I wouldn't watch too much tv on this though. It takes 8 seconds for my Samsung LCD to turn on, I don't want to wait more time for the TV to reveal itself.

This is great. I might go to Ikea and buy some cheap comforters for my girls to decorate. In the process they print out all the designs and then trace them on. I wonder if it would be easier and faster to print out onto iron on paper and transfer it.

Is that wall padded? That is genius! It'll cut down some of the noise, from and to the baby! Bonus, it looks great. Also great colors. The baby will love the different tones of whites and gray. If you didn't say it I would of guessed you did this for a living.

There was a place like this, much less grand of course, in Houston many years ago. Theater turned book shop, I love that combination.

When we built my daughters bunk beds, the first couple of times she had a problem getting up the ladder. It hurt her feet. After about 2 days it was old hat. I'm sure it was difficult the first few times negotiating those steps, but I bet it made the user more agile in the long.

I agree with Kaz.

During the Pregame I had two tv's on. One on Directv and one OTA. Some of the commercials differ for local markets. I understand there was at least one commercial during the game that only some people saw with Will Ferrell for Old Milwaukee beer. Sorry I'm not going very far with this.

I think it looks really good.
As for the comments regarding the five shades of blue and looking dull and drab, Internet and web browsers are not good sources for color, especially with amateur lighting, no offense.

I checkerboard them up and down. It takes the least space. It's not a big savings, but it is the only way I can fit them all in one cabinet shelf in my apartment.

@Rosie, and others,

My Friend/neighbor was at work and the ups was being followed by undercover police. UPS dropped off package. Someone came by and tried to steal the package, Suspect caught. My Friend came back from Vegas a few weeks later and received a copy of the restraining order that the Jury ordered because they thought the suspect was a threat while he is out on bail. Scarey.
