My love for yellow...

So as I stated a few posts back, we've been working on our living room lately. I have yet to find the right curtains and I'm still in search of the perfect lighting source so I won't be showing the whole room today BUT I wanted to show off our TV Stand and our new shelves.

While splurging one day - we bought a new TV. We love it. But we only had this to put it on:

So OBVIOUSLY that needed to be fixed. We had a budget with the new TV stand (because we didn't stay in our budget for the TV ;) so we looked at a ton of places. We wanted something different, a bit antique looking, and wood (what else). We found this:

TJmaxx oh how I love you! It was kinda in rough shape and was a bit smaller than we were looking for but it fit our TV and it was on sale - SOLD! I had a few ideas anyways. So we went to work and it now looks like this:

We love it, it's a big bright punch in the room. :)

Seeing that we didn't want to throw out our old "TV stand" we started thinking about what to do with it. Ross' parents gave us this when we moved in and they'd had it since Ross was little. Plusss the wood was beautiful, so we wanted to do something with it.

Cue - shelves:

Ross just sawed the table right in half and we bought brackets and stained them to match.

Aahhh the power of reusing. :)

It's such a beautiful day here in the Capital Region, I'm gonna go take a stroll :)
