Redid our fireplace mantle and TV setup. We went with mosaic Carrara Marble tile for the wall, a slab of Carrara Marble tile for the floor in front of the fireplace, and the mantle is a solid piece of Maple, 8" deep and 4" tall, with 7 coats of polyurethane. We obviously mounted the TV, added an HDMI outlet box and power box in the wall behind the TV so all the wires are hidden, then ran AudioQuest HDMI cable through the wall and into another HDMI outlet right behind the cable box on the right.
