Well, I made a promise and I have certainly tarried with the deliver of it, but now here it is. This post is part of a series on what we did to the apartment. View all the posts here. You remember the apartment when we moved in. And we spent the first two months really setting up shop. One of our very best friends moved to Austin shortly after we did, and was looking for a short term and affordable place to rent; the perfect answer was our second bedroom. So, our “formal dining” room became my new office, we always have our friend around and it’s worked out perfectly. On today’s edition of “The Apartment 3 Months Later” we are taking a look at our TV nook, from the sad state of small tv on a coffee table when we first moved in – to the beauty that it is today.
We negotiated the acquisition of this GIANT TV from our new roomie Bert, for a couple bucks, one of our older small TV’s, and one month of free rent. Josh is happy. Fortunately we had just gotten this tv stand, that I think is actually supposed to be a buffet for a formal dining room, but we (read: Josh) drilled holes in the back to run chords through and it works perfectly. We even have room for our record player, video game consoles, DVD’s we will probably never watch again, and all our records. Again, this is an Ikea (as-is section) purchase, but I like how mid-century it looks. After painting the back wall of the nook Navy Blue with left over paint from our bedroom, it was done.
