Living Room Upgrade

Before

After

After deliberating on whether to fill my empty living room, I actually did it. Originally I was just going to Ikea to look at stuff; I wasn't going to buy anything. But you know what they say, "You never leave Ikea empty handed." Somehow I ended up leaving with a new coffee table, end table, TV stand, lamp, and candle holders. I would have also left with a new leather sofa and loveseat, but they were too big to fit in my car (they were delivered on Monday).

If this wasn't enough, I then went to Fry's and bought a 52" Sharp LCD TV. The next day I bought an Xbox360. For comparison, you can take a look at my temporary living room setup last year (32" TV and Wii).

I also plan to build a Home Theater PC to play my video collection, but I have a feeling I should lay off the credit card for a while...
