decorating with a tv

With winter and a new baby coming we're having to make a few adjustments in our lifestyle.  
We've decided we need to make our living room a family room.
A TV, computer, and toys need to be added in without compromising style.
I found some pictures that do a good job of blending the flat screen into the room without making it a focal feature.






Ideally we'd just place it above the fireplace but one downfall of high ceilings is that this puts the tv entirely too high to watch.
We'll have enough going on here soon without adding neck cramps to the list.
Plus I like the idea of creating a custom piece of art for that space myself.
There is also no other wall available that is large enough to hold an armoire or a big tv stand so we're going to have to get creative.
I know I should attach more pictures to give y'all a better perspective on the room if I'm going to ask for your opinions.
Hopefully I'll get caught up on my editing and can devote some time to taking house pictures for y'all.

Above the mantel, armoire, tv cabinet?
Featured or blended in?
