Last week, one of our close friends asked us for help with his weird TV Nook. Weird because the Smurf tube started right below the TV and ended behind – all within 2 feet !!! It was confusing and didn’t know where to put the media system and how to hide all the wires.

Below is how we solved the Problem. And the best part is that this project took us less than 4 hours!!!

Project Day

Step 1: Building Shelve for Media System 

The shelves are not touching the back wall so that we have easy access to all cables and to hide unwanted media system stuff above the shelf (will be hidden behind the weathered wood wall)

Built this simple shelf. Used my Ryobi power hand saw for making cuts in the 8 inch Common Boards.

Step 2: Assemble Wall Support. Used my Ryobi small miter for all cuts on the 2 x 4 studs.

 

Step 3: Install TV Mount on the new Wall Support

Step 4: Install Weathered Boards 

Vola!!! Weathered Wall Reveal!!!
