makin' plans

move time in 8 days. Wootwooo! Today was that day when I had to call and spend half the day on the phone with the gas and electric companies to get everything switched over, success! Meanwhile the list of "things we need" for our new home seems to be growing exponentially, by the day. Newest "need" (and I use the term need lightly because really we don't need anything on this list, it's more of a "this would be nice to have" list) is an entertainment center. In our first apartment there would be no way we could fit an entertainment comfortable in our already dining, living, and office space. Now we are ready! Here's the plan..

We currently use this as our Tv stand..


and also have this bookshelf..


So we're combining to create something like this! (found this creepin' on google).


So we are halfway there. the question is do we complete the other side with...this?
HEMNES Bookcase, black-brown Width: 19 1/4 " Depth: 14 5/8 " Height: 77 1/2 " Max load/shelf: 33 lb  Width: 49 cm Depth: 37 cm Height: 197 cm Max load/shelf: 15 kg
or this..

HEMNES Glass-door cabinet, black-brown Width: 19 1/4 " Depth: 14 5/8 " Height: 77 1/2 " Max load/shelf: 33 lb  Width: 49 cm Depth: 37 cm Height: 197 cm Max load/shelf: 15 kg

Paul is favoring the glass..which I love also, but my cheap self is telling me no. It's $100 more. 

here's a visual with the glass..

  1. I have a problem with your blog. I love it. Its weird and I know it. But I can't stop! Haha. I like the glass but the OCD side of me says symetrical. And the frugal side of me says cheaper....too many sides of me! Haha

  2. I think we have very similar sides to us because I have the same feelings!! I'm 60% glass, 40% no glass right now. Time to save up some $$!
