Creative Box Turtle housing.?

I am the proud owner of a couple dogs, a cat and a Three Toed Box Turtle. I dearly love Mr Chang and want to build him a nice home. I am considering building a home big enough to add another turtle or two.
Here's my problem... I want to keep him in the living area of our home and I want to make the living area a nicely decoated space. How to integrate a nice turtle house with a nice decor?
I found a design online a long time ago. the man converted a beautiful wood chest into a nice turtle home and used it as a coffee table. I cannot find the design anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas on how/ what can be converted into a beautiful turtle home that will look nice in my home? Links to plans, pics etc would be very helpful.

My friends turned a bookcase into a turtle enclosure. They took out the shelves and put it on its side so the open side was facing out. They attached a screen with hinges and it looks really good.
I like the idea of a coffee table too.
