Early X-mas Prezzies

John and I have a perfectly good 32" tv in our living room but it's old school. We've been thinking about getting a flat panel but our current entertainment center won't hold anything much bigger than our current tv. So, we've been looking around for a new piece of furniture to hold a bigger tv and all our other media components. It's been really hard to find something with enough storage and convenient shelving. More importantly, not much that we've seen matches our coffee and end tables.

Yesterday, we went to Haverty's, saw a few possibilities and we were ready to give up and try another store. And then we found this:

Very nice piece, had enough storage and good placement for the components (namely, my beloved dvr!), and a decent price. The bad part is it didn't match our other furniture. The sales lady, Gloria, pointed us towards some matching pieces to the media center:

Next step... find a new tv! We've been scoping out a few models. I'm not sure what we'll get but it sure is exciting!
