This Edina homeowner had a gorgeous living room with a built-in fireplace featuring beautiful white trim work, wood slat paneling, and a stacked stone surround. The setup was stunning—but the previous wiring job? Not so much.
We mounted the 65" Samsung TV above the fireplace, fitting it perfectly within the recessed alcove created by the built-in cabinetry. The TV sits flush and centered, complementing the sophisticated millwork rather than fighting against it.
Here's where this job got interesting. A previous company had installed ceiling speakers and run the wiring through the fireplace structure. Sounds great in theory—until you realize they created a 90-degree bend in the conduit that made it physically impossible to fish new cables through.
When we went to conceal the TV cords through the fireplace, we hit a wall. Literally. The existing conduit was useless for our purposes. So we had to tear it out and start from scratch, rerouting everything properly so the cables could actually pass through without obstruction.
This is unfortunately common. We frequently encounter situations where audio/video companies or electricians install conduit without thinking about future needs. A 90-degree bend might work fine for the thin speaker wire they were pulling, but it becomes a nightmare when you need to add HDMI cables, power, or anything else down the road.
The result? Clean cord concealment with no visible wires, a properly routed conduit system that will accommodate future upgrades, and a TV that looks like it was always meant to be there.
Edina homes are known for their quality craftsmanship, and this fireplace is a perfect example. The combination of painted wood paneling, decorative trim, and natural stacked stone creates a focal point that deserves an equally polished installation. You can see the homeowner's attention to detail extends throughout—from the orchids on the mantel to the coordinated decor flanking the fireplace.
