Where have all the t.v.s gone?

Never a fan of displaying the television or any sort of electronics or their wires, I am on the search for what to do with my t.v. I immediately looked through my home inspiration binder, but no living rooms with televisions, then I went to my computer home photo files, hardly any televisions there either. Where is everyone hiding their t.v.s?? It's especially difficult because we have vaulted ceilings and I feel like a low console would just lead me staring at the blank wall above it. Here is what I have found so far, but I am still unsure.

A. Maybe my husband is secretly a carpenter and could make me some built-ins to put it in. How much do built-ins cost anyhow?

B. Classic black armoire. There happens to be one on sale at our local Rooms to Go for $499.00.

C. Modern white armoire from Ikea for $499.00.
D. Rooms to Go also had this console which the t.v. hides inside of it, then with the remote you can have it pop up. It is low, but since the t.v is hidden I can hang large art above it adding to the height. I don't like however how far it comes out. The one at Rooms to Go only had the middle section and it was in black at $999.00. This one is from here.
E. This is my favorite idea. Unfortunately, I have no idea where this or one like this is from. Does anyone know? But I like how it doesn't come out too far, but it is tall and wide, modern but not too modern.

Plans for the living room

Below is our new living room (with the old home owners decor).

I love the flooring and the fireplace! The television hole above the fireplace however, will be covered in asap. Which leads to the dilemma of where the television will go, that will have to be a blog all on it's own though! Now here are my plans for the living room:

A. Wall color is Nightingale from Benjamin Moore.
B. Two grey chairs facing the fireplace. These are on sale at Target, but I found them both for less than $150 at my local Target.
C. I already own these pillows. Found on Etsy, unfortunately the seller Dailybread Market no longer has an account. ($30 for two).
D. Yellow 8x10 rug from Pottery Barn to be bought. $169.00.
E. White cotton curtains, I purchased from Ikea three years ago at a whopping $19.99. They have these which are similar.
F. Tall black lamp, to go on the left side of the fireplace, I bought this one at Walmart, sorry it is no longer available. I am also looking for a small accent chair to go there.
G. Black pedastool table and white lamp to go next to couch on the right side of the fireplace. I purchased mine from Target last year.
H. Mitchell Bob and Gold Williams, Kate sofa. Placed along the right wall, facing the t.v. solution I have yet to find.
I. Leather ottoman to be used as coffee table.

Spring is in the air
