Gourmet Kitchens and Flat Screen TVs, a Love-Hate Relationship


By Rob Burns
When someone thinks cooking and gourmet kitchens, TVs rarely come to mind.  My wife loves to cook and spends a lot of time in the kitchen.  She constantly gets creative ideas from the cooking channel and loves following along with her favorite shows.  However our living room TV is hard to see from the kitchen and in order for her to hear the show she has to blast everyone out of the living room with the volume set to 11.

As you can imagine this has caused some conflict in our household as I want to watch my football games in the living room while her favorite shows are on.  So I suggested we put a TV in the kitchen for her to use while she is cooking.  Sounds like a good idea, right?  Well the problem with that scenario is she didn’t care for the look of a TV on the kitchen counter at all times and there really wasn’t any good wall space to mount one up and out of the way.  So after doing some research I found an under the cabinet TV mount that would attach a standard TV to the bottom of the cabinet and allows it to be folded up and out of the way while not in use.   Brilliant!
The installation was fairly simple with some basic tools and handyman know-how, and really allows for the best of both worlds.   My wife doesn’t miss any of her shows while in the kitchen and I can watch my games in peace in the living room.
It seems another marriage has been saved!  Now my next venture is to talk her into letting me get that new 60” flat screen TV mounted in the bedroom.  The battle continues….
