fancy, new

This is our new little media centre.

Yeah, it’s pretty sweet.

I like that I’ve contrasted our new (not so classy) gigantic tee vee with (classy) antique copies of Dickens procured in England. That is how we roll.

The new tv bench is one of my favourite parts of this set up though. It’s just from Ikea (of course) but is built rather solidly, out of wood rather than a wood-like product. It’s birch, and reminds of Scandinavian kindergarten furniture for some reason. There’s something pleasantly minimalist, and somehow friendly about it. It’s open in the back (meaning cords from all those consoles are an issue) but we rather cleverly stuck some baskets under it to hold all our various componants and controllers.

And warning everyone: because of all this I may just become even more of a hermit than I normally do this winter. But wouldn’t you too?
