Building The Perfect Living Room

J builds things.  If it can be made out of wood, that man can make it. So he is taking on building us a new entertainment center.  Our new living room has a fireplace along one wall and stairs at the opposite wall.  This makes for a challenge on getting everything to fit and be functional.

We ditched the other entertainment center we had because it was huge!  So he is going to build one that will hold the television at an angle out of the corner, with matching bookshelves tied into it.

I can not wait til he starts and I will be sure to take photos of the process to post. We also have to get new furniture and if he got his way, I am sure he would be looking into home audio speaker systems.  That will have to wait!  I want to get the rest of the house in order first.

I need bookshelves! Lots of them!  Luckily that is an easy fast build for him.  I also still need 2 desks! That is something I needed like yesterday!  I have been looking on Freecycle with no luck so far.  I’ll give craigslist a try and also the thrift stores.

Our goal is to do this all as cheaply as possible.  We want to save up so that we can build our own home soon.  Cutting costs wherever we possibly can!
