I’m just so proud of us. I feel like we were little inventors. Don’t get me wrong, there are some cool hidden TV cabinets out there on the market, and the inspiration behind this project came from a similar one at Pier1. The objective behind this project was to come up with a budget friendly solution that would work in our space. By taking this project on ourselves we also had more freedom in designing how the art would slide. Others out there seemed to poke out into the room when opened, which I wasn’t too fond of, or would even split the artwork in half and open sideways. This design is sleek and slides parallel to the TV, and it’s perfect for our space.

Can you provide links on the hardware used for the sliding action…how it is mounted to frame? Thank you! Gonna do this above fireplace in the home I am renovating, built in 1900.
Hi Peggy, this sound like such a great project. Please share photos with us when you’ve finished. We’d love to see it! We used drawer slides to slide our frame. You can see how we did it in the DIY Hidden TV Cabinet post. The hardware we used is a side mount full extension drawer slide.

How can I get one done for me?
Ann, we do not know of a business that does this type of work, however you could try a framing shop. Or if you know someone who is handy with tools, it’s really not that difficult to do. Good lucky!
How does the TV get power and audio/visual input?
Great question Joe! We have an outlet installed behind the TV for power and ethernet.
Thank you Joe for your inquiry, the power outlet and cable outlet was relocated directly behind the TV.
