Hide your TV in your Floor

Got a TV but you're not sure how to integrate it into a room? Well, if you got a lot of extra bucks lying around you might want to try install a TV lift into a wood floor. According to ElectronicHouse.com:

The homeowners had painstakingly chosen special white marble for the fireplace so the last thing they wanted to do was cover it up with a TV. Placing the set in a cabinet at the foot of the bed was considered as well, but that idea was ultimately deemed too intrusive for a room with such sleek, modern lines. Left with few other options, the crew at Audio Video Excellence looked to the floor—or rather, beneath the floor, for a solution. After a portion of the flooring had been carefully cut away, Audio Video Excellence installed an Electro-Kinetics TV lift into the floor and mounted a 50-inch Pioneer plasma TV to the top of it. Most of the time, the TV and lift hide out in the basement below the bedroom.

Very cool! You can see a few more images and the entire article at:
