So DH finally put the two shelves next to the two TVs in our living room.  An electrician is here as we speak moving the outlets up so they are behind the TV.   When he is finished there will be no wires, outlets or phone extensions there.  The wall underneath will be completely bare.

I would like to put something along the wall under the TVs because they look so plain but I don't know what.  We're not going to paint the walls anything but white because we will not be here that long.  We are moving in 2-ish years and will rent this place out, it's a pita to paint the walls over and over.  

Any suggestions?  I am probably the least creative person ever.

I wouldn't have put the shelves on the sides, under or over but you just have a row of weird IMO. Maybe get a cute sideboard, buffet table or something?

A buffet table or a dresser would look cute! Maybe with family pics on it. And... just curious, why the heck do you have two TVs right next to each other? Lol.

I have 6 boys in the house.  I got custody of my nephew a few months back.  We had one TV with the X-box for my older son.  When my nephew came we got him a new X-box and TV so the boys could play side by side.  Sometimes my 3 year old plays on the X-box while my 2 year old watches cartoons.  I also use the X-box, the kinect to exercise a lot, when I do that I put cartoons on the other TV for the kids, this way we're in the same room while I'm busy and know what they are doing, lol.

If they weren't straight across it would have looked really off.  We tried it and the shelves are so much shorter than the TVs.
