It's hard to find a TV that doesn't scream cold and modern! Those attributes work if you have a cold and modern home, but if you're more Shabby Chic than Design Within Reach a telly can look out of place.
One of the features in this month's Domino features a bedroom whose boob tube is tucked away in an antique white finish hutch. Their version costs a whopping $4K, but we found something similar at Target that could equally work as well...
Ironically, the above hutch is made by Shabby Chic for Target. At $350 it's a bargain compared to Domino's version, but we're not sure if its dimensions would fit a CRT inside. We suppose if you're going to save three grand on the hutch you could always invest in a flatscreen.
All you'd have to do to mimic the hutch in Domino is weather the white paint and add curtains to the interior of the doors.
Speaking of Target's lack of dimensions, why oh why is their website so lame about giving specifics? If you're going to sell furniture shouldn't you give customers important information about the width and length of said furniture?

my flat screen will fit...if only I can convince the hubby that this is more practical than mounting it to the wall :(

Where did you find that?!
According to Target the shipping dimensions are 46 inches length x 22.5 inches width x 8.5 inches height. How can that be if the cabinet is 69.25 inches? Are they shipping it in two parts?

Oh I see! If you click on the larger photo options and look under "features" you get that info. So not user friendly!
I'm still not sure why the shipping info is smaller. They must be shipping the drawers separate from the cabinet.

@ lil' soso
"Assembly Required" That's why the shipping dimensions are smaller. That piece looks like it would be B*TCH to put together.
