Sales of existing homes were down significantly in the first quarter of 2007, and bad news for one industry is a boon for another. According to Remodeling Magazine, people are responding by staying put and sinking big bucks into upgrades.

Among the more popular projects they're doing are kitchen remodels, bathroom additions and turning their basements and family rooms into home theaters. Daily upgrades are a lot easier, and more affordable to do than you may think according to Keith Pribyl of Sanus Systems Inc., a Minnesota-based company that builds a broad variety of audio-video furnishings, mounts and accessories.

His company offers options that allow the homeowner to put the new flat-screen TVs on display pretty much anywhere in the house.

There is specially designed accessories for rooms that have a lot of space available:wall mounts, ceiling mounts and recessed in-wall boxes for people looking for more of a custom look.
