More stuff from our place

Here's the thing. We have a really big TV, people. Too big, really, but we love our content and our video games large and in charge. And so it stays. Over the past 3 years we've tried a million solutions to make it look not-awful. Finally, I do believe, we've found one. Media center (and colorful boxes) from our recent trip to Ikea. Doesn't everything fit so cute and snug in those slots? (That's my record player on the bottom right!) I want to marry its streamlined, uh, lines.



This sucker (below) has been the bane of my existence for awhile; it always seems to be in my way. I'm still not crazy about how dark it is, but this is the happiest I've felt with it since its purchase (from Ikea) a couple years ago. That plant in the middle is the only thing I haven't killed with my brown thumb. That row of books? Our comic book collection. And I finally bought votive holders for the bajillion tiny candles we have. Aren't they kind of cute in their little triangle?
