This is the TV/stereo setup. It works, but there is no storage for DVD's and CD's.

The fireplace hearth and brick face has already been removed. That navy blue pannel is a 1" thick foam pannel that we used to cover the front of the fireplace during the winter because so much cold air came through it when not in use. The new fireplace draws combustion air from outside, and has no louvers to allow cold air to leak into the room. It will be much warmer when not being used.
