TV…Love it…Can’t live without it. For many it’s the primary news, entertainment and general relaxation provider. But must it be constantly in the room?

Many of our Customers have asked us to build cabinets and hide-a-ways for their TV’s. They don’t want the peaceful living area of their Cape Cod retreat to be dominated by a big, blank TV screen.
