The living room in my condo is big, it is part of a particularly open floor plan and the ideal part for family and friends to gather, and my fine friend and I utilize the living room for watching cable and movies, playing video games and board games, relaxing, reading and entertaining.
- I want the room to be accessible, comfortable and charming.
I was not glad with game controllers, cords, electronic components, puzzles, games, books and all sorts of stuff lying all over the floor! When I packed them into multiple totes, it was difficult to find things and didn’t look all that nice. When I shopped for an entertainment center, I realized that nothing available suited my particularations, however the options I found were too small, didn’t provide reasonable storage and were poorly constructed. Most of the entertainment centers for sale at local furniture stores are made out of pressboard and veneers. I finally contacted a custom furniture builder… He was wonderfully know-howable and helpful. He asked me questions and made suggestions, and because of his assistance, I was able to come up with a design and dimensions that fit the layout of the living room, satisfied my preferences and accommodated our storage requirements, and along with choosing the height, width and depth, I was able to be unique about shelving, drawers and hardware. It took a while for the entertainment center to be completed. Every aspect of the piece was constructed by hand. I was amazed by how heavy the entertainment center is, and now that it’s in place in the living room, my fine friend and I won’t be moving it. I plan to keep it forever. I just care about it.
