To Do It or Not to Do It

I know what you are all thinking, but stop it and get your minds out of the gutters!  I'm not talking about that!  This is a family site!  My dilemma is this....remember in my last post I talked about this massive armoire that we would no longer be using?  

We had a couple of hits on Kijiji but nothing that panned out.  Now that I have been thinking about it, maybe this could be the solution to our home office troubles (we don't have one)!  I was thinking we could retrofit it using these pics as inspiration.

Beautiful right?  I would love to delve into this and see what I come up with.  My only concern is that I know that once we do our main floor renovation we definately won't have space for this monster anymore, so here in lies the question....to do it or not to do it??

TV Drama

The other day the hubby called and said he was going to buy a new tv for our main floor living space.  I think, "Great, maybe he will go home and get it all set up and organize the living room as well".  Hahahahahahahaha....this is me realizing that it was all a dream, all except for the new tv part.  So this is what the hubs picked out.

Nice right?  I'm really not being sarcastic, I actually am happy about it because...alas...we are a family of tv people.  So, now we have this beautiful tv sitting in the box in the middle of our living room.  Now what?  We have this huge armoire that holds our old tube tv which we really want to get rid of, so it is for sale on Kijiji.

Although, sometimes I think it could be retrofitted into a great home office, but it really is just too big for our space. 

Then, we were thinking of taking this buffet (I know...I know, I have some organizing to do)

and removing the top (not sure what to do with it) and using this as our TV stand.  I think it will fit in really nicely and not be as overpowering as the armoire.  It also has lots of room for storage.  The only problem now is....what do I do with all the kitchen stuff that is currently housed inside this piece?  

Any ideas???
