ABSTRACT:
A decorative covering apparatus and method. A frame with an opening formed into it has a first roller that rotates about an axis. A flexible cover is arranged to loop between a first edge that is fixed relative to the frame and a second edge that is affixed to the first roller. A second roller is disposed at the apex of the loop in the flexible cover, and, a motor is coupled to rotate the first roller in a first direction and in a second direction. This action causes a furling and unfurling the flexible cover to reveal and conceal the opening. It also causes the second roller to traverse the opening in the frame. A decorative frame is attached to the frame. The decorative cover is adapted to conceal and reveal a wall mounted object located behind the opening in the frame, such as a flat panel television set. Control is implemented with a remote control receiver, which receives a control signal that is coupled to control the motor to rotate in an up and down direction. The flexible cover has a decorative image disposed on a first side that is aligned to be visible when the flexible cover is unfurled to conceal the opening.
