the not-so extreme makeover.

i'm a bargain shopper through and through. and when i find a deal, i change my mind about ten times before i decide to buy it. well, lately, daniel and i have been wanting to get a new tv stand. we shopped at crate and barrel, pottery barn, and antique stores. and we couldn't quite find that perfect item. today on my lunch break, that all changed. i was walking through the local tj maxx-homegoods store, and find a gem. we had found something here before, but decided against it because of its price. well, today i didn't want to change my mind. i courteously called my husband (after snapping a picture on my phone and emailing it to him) and asked what he thought. he liked it. i liked it. and i liked something else too. and as stated earlier, i changed my mind roughly ten times, and decided to take this baby home! it fit in my car perfectly, pretty meant to be if you ask me. and took it home. at first it didn't feel right(you'll see why). i think it's merely getting used to. but who knows. we kept the receipt, and will keep it in prime condition. and if we don't like it by Friday, we have a new errand on our list.
here is the "before" livingroom conditions:
