Updating an Entertainment Center: What you need to know!

In October of 2012 some friends of ours decided to buy a house in Boise. They walked into this house and instantly fell in love with its unique features and beautiful views. However, one thing they did not fall in love with was the outdated built-in entertainment center. It was made for an old tube television that was very deep and not very wide. This is becoming more common as our TV’s are getting larger and we are not updating the built-in features. Some homeowners go as far as filling it with décor so it’s not an eyesore. Sweetwood Custom Cabinets feels that updating your built-in features is a necessity to modernize your home and keep it contemporary. At ThiftyHome.com you can see some great examples of how to beautifully modernize your home by updating built in entertainment centers.
