Nice will have to try these. Was getting tired of moving the sink cover around.

Excellent mods! Exactly what I was thinking about doing in the bedroom regarding the TV. Have you had any issues with it?

Thanks!

The 3m ones. They make all different kinds but I just found one that looked like it came away from the wall and had a long holding arm. They came 1 per pack.

In the bedroom, I measured the distance between the doors(closed) and cut a spare piece of wood slightly smaller in width and probably about 6" in length. I then drilled two holes through the piece of wood a little smaller than the lag bolts(2.5" in length and decent width). I spray painted the piece of wood black just so it doesn't stick out. Then I used a cheapish tilt mount that fit my tv from Amazon. Click image for larger version

I used 3" lag bolts to secure the mount to the wooden block and the length made it into the wooden backer. Then secure the tv to the mount.

That's what I did.....it works.

Hey there ffemt721

As an alternative option, I purchased a wall mount off of Amazon (NBL 100-M Ultra Slim TV Wall Mount) and did not need to worry about attaching any wood, just right on to the wall right between the doors. Worked absolutely great!

Is there a reason to not use a ceiling mount where it's indicated to install on the ceiling in the bedroom?

I just thought it wasn't as sturdy as the wall. Plus I don't like making extra holes in the roof area. I'm sure it's personal preference. Plus a wall mount was cheaper(more readily available) than a ceiling mount.

The ceiling mount I purchased was heavier than the tv I wanted to mount. I ended up returning it and purchased my $15-20 mount from Amazon.
