  1. Can a hidden TV lift cabinet improve your life?

    Sounds strange, right? But a hidden TV lift cabinet can certainly help you turn things around, simply by keeping the TV in hiding until specifically required.

    1. Digital detox- Evidently, we are in the age of information overload, gadget overuse, and screen obsession. Digital detox has actually become a term to reckon with. People feel the need to go on remote and sometimes exotic holidays to get a dose of digital detox, but then they come back to the same routine. Is there a way to get a bit of digital detox every day? Of course! Get yourself a hidden TV lift cabinet and chalk out a detox plan. Fix your TV watching hours and get the TV out of the TV lift cabinet only when you plan to actively watch it. Don’t let it run in the background for hours together. Cut out the noise in your life. Only then can you expect to find some peace. 
    2. More activity- The lesser TV you watch, the more time you will have to enjoy life. Compare a Sunday spent watching TV, and another one spent bowling, going trekking,

  2. Buying the right TV lift cabinet, according to features

    There are some factors to consider before you buy a hidden TV lift cabinet. Other than its look and feel, its features need to be taken into account, so that you do not end up buying the wrong piece of furniture.

    1. Size- The size of your TV will undoubtedly sway your choice. Obviously, you cannot fit a big TV into a small TV lift cabinet. You can manage the other way around, but we wouldn’t recommend you do that either. Many manufacturers use specific lift sizes. That means that mounting a small TV onto a big TV lift cabinet will not give you the kind of fit the manufacturer intended. Also, it is a sheer waste of space. Afterall, a TV lift cabinet is meant to save you space, not take up extra room
    2. Swivel- Depending on where you intend to place the hidden TV lift cabinet, you may or may not require the swivel feature. If you are certain that the hidden TV lift cabinet will be placed right in front of the audience, you needn't worry about the swivel, but if it is going to need a change of

  3. Top 4 reasons to have a monthly home improvement budget

    You may not have any major renovation plans in mind, but it is recommended to have a monthly home improvement budget.  Any guesses why?  Read on to know more.

    1. To be future-ready- It’s surprising how stuff suddenly needs repairs. The boiler that was working just fine until yesterday refuses to behave itself today, or the fridge simply decides not to cool anymore. There’s no way you can put off these urgent repairs and here’s where your monthly home improvement budget will come in handy. You’d have already set aside money for such problems and won’t be forced to look through the kids’ piggy-banks for the much-needed cash. 
    2.  To keep you financially organized- All of us have an urge to spend on a particular sort of stuff. Some go crazy shopping for their wardrobe, some for shoes, some for tools, and some simply can’t hold themselves back when they step into an Ikea or Wayfair store. The next time you’re out shopping for the home, think of your budget. It will help keep a check on your

  4. Cool CNC cart build using a TV lift mechanism

    If you are a serious woodworking enthusiast, you will at some point in time need a CNC cart for your tools. Of course, you’ll need to take care of quite some paraphernalia. This DIY video tutorial by Jonny Builds shows just how useful a CNC cart can be, and how cool it can be, especially when fitted with a hidden TV lift mechanism

    Advantages of a CNC cart with a hidden TV lift mechanism

    1. Increased mobility- it is always a good idea to have a CNC cart that you can wheel around. This makes it easier to move the computer system closer to a power supply or closer to the machinery as need be. The greater the mobility, the easier things are.
    2.  Keeps your system safe- Even though you can opt for machines with a dust collection system in place, it is always recommended to keep your computer away from dust. So if your computer monitor is mounted on a hidden TV lift mechanism and is housed in a CNC cart, you can safely tuck it away when

  5. 4 problems spring cleaning can help you fix

    Spring cleaning isn’t just about clearing the clutter. You just need to pay close attention to discover stuff about your home and your life. 

    Here are 4 problems that spring cleaning can help you uncover:

    1. The actual status of your wardrobe- Most of us buy clothes and accessories right through the year and it’s only when we get down to spring cleaning that we realize how much stuff we’ve collected over the years. But that isn’t even the problem. The real problem is having tons of stuff, but only a fraction that’s in use. So, look through your wardrobe and identify stuff that you should really be giving away, to actually clean up the space (and make room for new stuff)!
    2. The grand collection of old phones- Technology changes rapidly, and so do our tastes and with it, our phones. And what do we do with the old mobiles? Just put them away somewhere, until spring cleaning, when we discover that put together, there are many such mobiles unnecessarily taking up room in a drawer. The solution-

  7. DIY space-saving TV lift mechanism PC and utility cart

    Anything that saves you room and gives you flexibility becomes an asset, just like the TV lift mechanism. The TV lift mechanism, coupled with the creative ideas from Wood.Work.LIFE. can make life so much easier. These ideas score high on practicality without compromising on aesthetics. You can watch the video here. 

    The folks at Wood.Work.LIFE. built a utility cart with tools and a hidden P.C. monitor. If you are a business owner you certainly need a PC. It is impossible to work without a system that keeps track of everything from supplies, sales, to deliveries, and so on. If you need a system, obviously you also need space to set it up. That means a particular portion of your counter space is permanently dedicated to the computer. There’s nothing you can do about it even if you need that space for something else.  

    But what if you could make the monitor disappear and have all the wires gone, so you have a perfectly clear counter space to do whatever you need to? That is exactly what

    Unsure about how to install and mount a TV lift mechanism on the wall and build a TV lift cabinet? Here’s a quick DIY video tutorial, by Ken from Moonpie Creations, complete with details and handy tips.

    Some advantages of getting the TV lift mechanism and TV lift cabinet on the wall:

    1. Saves room- When your TV is going up on the wall, it is obviously freeing up floor space. Also, where Ken put it, it is totally out of the way, leaving enough room on the walls for other artistic displays. So, no cluttered floor space or bare walls.
    2. Saves material and labor- Since the TV lift mechanism is going up on the wall, there is no need to make the rear face of the TV lift cabinet. It is unnecessary and won’t be seen anyway. So, that’s an entire

  9. Top 5 reasons to have your own bar at home

    Thinking of having your own bar at home?

    Here are 5 reasons why it’s a great idea:

      1. Show off your creativity- If you are creative, it’s gotta show, just like Shaun Boyd’s does, in these two videos- part one and part two of using a TV lift mechanism to build a modern home bar. The TV lift mechanism has been put away in a hidden compartment and the mechanics cannot be seen. What is seen, is the revelation of a liquor cabinet that has secret storage and looks awesome. That's a secret home bar!

    1. Favor and savor your favorites- There are times when you walk into a bar with a particular taste in your head. And, they don’t have it. Of course, you’ll settle for something else. With a home bar, you simply won’t be pushed to compromise. Your bar, your stock that lets you favor your favorites and savor them too.
    2. No timing hassles- Since you’re the boss, there are no opening and closing hours that you need to watch out for.  It brings total convenience, whether you are all by yourself, or have company.

  10. How to build a TV lift cabinet to go with your decor

    So, you’ve got a beautiful log cabin. It’s your go-to vacation spot, but man, do you miss the TV there! Suppose you do get a TV there, it’ll be an beautiful combination. So, what do you do? You try finding a solution to the possible issues. 

    The trouble that a TV can cause are:

    1. Clash with the decor-  Sleek, modern TVs, and rustic log cabins just don’t go together. While the cabin is old-world charming, a TV is a modern blackhole and at best an eyesore from the decor point of view. Completely ruins the look of the place.
    2. Ruining the mood- When you are out on an adventure vacation and want to spend quality time with family, without being bothered by devices, a TV is the last thing you want playing in the background. 

    No, you don’t have to compromise on the decor or on your TV time. You just need to get smart, and get a hidden TV lift cabinet, or get craftsy like Kyle from HallStickFurniture and build a custom hidden TV lift cabinet using a hidden TV lift mechanism. You can watch the
