And of course this would not fit inside of this...
So I said...can we buy one of these?
It is ONLY $689?
(about the same price as the TV itself)
Ummm...No.
Not if we want to be REALLY poor after Christmas is all over.
So I took another trip to...
And bought a really old, dusty, brown TV stand that was ugly as ugly can get, took out the top drawer to make room for the cable box, painted it white, gave it a new set of knobs...and voila! TV stand which I love, love, love for $30!!!
I really enjoy these little projects for my home. I was able to make this TV stand exactly the way I wanted it and saved money by not buying a brand new one. The storage underneath will hold all of our DVD's . It is still drying but I am looking forward to putting it in the house just in time for Christmas! So while Bill will be enjoying watching Survivorman in HD on his new TV...I'll be happy looking at my pretty white cabinet underneath...(wearing the brand new fuzzy jammies he bought for me for Christmas..Hint Hint ;)
**PS: Anyone interested in a TV cabinet??

Great job with the project you did honey. It turned out better than I thought it would. You're the best.
Chrissy,
Great job. It looks really nice. But tell Bill to forget the fuzzy PJ's, I have a feeling that Santa might be leaving you some in your Christmas stocking....MOM
WOOOHOOO!!! Can't wait to put them on! Thanks Santa!
Wow...so impressive! Your projects that you have posted here have me thinking outside of the box when I am looking for things :)

Thanks Carolyn! I just got your Christmas card today. I LOVE Ben in his antlers...sooo cute!
Carolyn, it's just that her husband is too cheap and is forcing her to be creative. Boy he is stingy.
You're right anonymous...but if he wasn't stingy with money...we would really be broke cause I'd spend it all!!! Overall it makes for a good balance :D
...and by the way anonymous, would you sign in using your gmail address & password so you wouldn't be "anonymous" anymore!
Hey Chrissy...nice job. When I retire, I want you to come down for a couple of weeks. I have a few things that need to be re-finished.By the way did Bill get that TV at goodwill? HaHaHa. Go Sixers.....Dad
Holy Cow!!! now I know which side of the family the kids get their talent from........NOT Bill
