Ever since we mounted the TV on the wall we knew that we were going to need to replace the stand that goes beneath it. While its in surprisingly good shape, it was just no match for the monster of a new tv that we now have. We did some research to get ideas and starting searching for pieces of furniture to buy that would work. We searched for credenzas, buffets, entertainment centers, tv stands, etc, etc, etc. Practically none of what we saw we liked, so we finally gave in and decided that we may have to give in to a trip to Ikea. I don't think either of us had been to Ikea in years, so the adventure was on. Going to Ikea is a project in itself, then add in that we live on the complete opposite side of town. It was a fun adventure though and we found the perfect entertainment center for our new tv and new living room. We spent the rest of the weekend trying to assemble the cabinets. It wouldn't be an Ikea adventure if at least one thing didn't fit together the way that it should and we soon discovered that the front of the drawers we bought were the wrong size and we were going to need to exchange them. Once we did get the right drawer fronts it was full steam ahead :) We've almost completed one room and I'm looking forward to our next project :)
