We have one television and we only watch it maybe, once a week. But it’s “center stage “ and dominates the room. If I could cover it I would!! In your home, I might try a decorative hook (coat hook style )above the clock, so that when you want to use the television you could easily transfer the painting above. (Doubling up the wall decor) we had an old fuse box on a main wall. For years we had wall art over it, then later I made a Velcro cover for it, so we could access it when needed. Your television doesn’t stand out and dominate, due to the dark bookshelves. But I personally like the look. I like when they overhang pictures on a bookshelf, using a stocking hanger hook. I enjoy layers, I just don’t enjoy the dusting 🤭. I enjoyed this, as always, thanks!

In shopping thrift stores in many states and cities, I have discovered that the best prices are usually in the suburbs of large cities. Smaller towns don’t get as many donations, so they have higher prices. Inner city thrift stores are usually both overpriced and picked over. Of course, there are always exceptions.
