I wish I could at least hide it but it won't fit in the cabinet we have (it is upstairs with an old tv in it) so it is hanging on the wall. I've thought about building a frame around it and putting doors on it. It sticks out a little but I still think it could be done. One more thing on the 'some day' list!TinaTxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373224016715969220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-44537291428657118172015-02-02T10:48:58.569-07:002015-02-02T10:48:58.569-07:00I felt the same way last weekend LOL I love my fri...I felt the same way last weekend LOL I love my friends, but eventually I want my house back!<br /><br />That TV sounds really sweet!<br /><br />I think Ikea is okay and I've bought some of their stuff before, but it doesn't last like furniture used to, even 40 years ago.<br />I have a very 1930s/1940s mentality, so I'm not a fan of the throwaway society that we've become and I try to buy things that will last. Not saying that I never buy anything new, obviously, but I try my best to find antique or vintage items when I can, because they've stood the test of time and they were meant to. Plus, I just prefer the craftsmanship and how pretty older things are, not to mention the history behind each piece. Anything that I don't want anymore, either gets sold or donated, so that someone else can enjoy it. I never just throw anything away, unless it's beyond hope. I could write a post about this subject, but I might insult a few people, even though that wouldn't be my intention :)<br /><br />I hope you had a lovely dinner! And thank you :)Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-58117779954307264322015-02-01T16:48:18.502-07:002015-02-01T16:48:18.502-07:00There's so many thoughts I have I'm afraid...There's so many thoughts I have I'm afraid I will hit publish and realize I left a few out! In random order here goes...<br /><br />The 3 days pillow cracked me up. Last month our friends were invited to our house whole on vacation for 2 nights. Somewhere alongg the way they invited themselves for 3, and that's the exact quote I told hubby. ;)<br /><br />Now about the tv. Omg, I saw the cutest vintage tv last week!!! It was powder blue and a little over $200. <br /><br />The ikea sofa...I think ikea gets a bad rap. Most if their items last a lot longer than people think, and their sizes, as you learned, are versatile.<br /><br />I know I'm forgetting things but we are leaving for dinner and I don't have time to reread the post but those are the main points anyway.<br /><br />Oh, one more...I would have done exactly the same thing with that room, albeit not as efficiently and lovely as you did. <br /><br /><br /><br />Doreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-7433056797461470572015-01-31T18:34:17.364-07:002015-01-31T18:34:17.364-07:00You are so sweet!
