For the past month and a half my TV has been perched on top of my coffee table because I had yet to find a console that meets the measurement specifications of the pre-cut wall inset where my TV hookups
were! I'd searched everywhere from Target and Wal-mart to Woodland and MOR furniture without anything jumping off the racks at me! On Tuesday July 5th, Mom and I finally stopped in at ASHLEY furniture and not only did she find a console that worked with her new flat screen but I TOO found the perfect one that fit my cubby!!! Mom's house had some specifics that made it hard to find the just right console too! At her house it would have to sit atop the bricks that gradually round around the sunken room so again the standard 60" was too long and most weren't deep enough to fit her existing music deck. Anyway, in a crazy turn of events she came across one that matched the other dark wood furniture she'd recently purchased and I found one that was in a cappuccino color (in between a dark wood and black) that not only matched my existing decorations and furniture but they were both measuring tape approved!!!
So we both purchased our finds and they were finally in for pickup at the warehouse on Tuesday July the 12th!!! As soon as I got it home I began building! I slid it in, hooked everything up and it all fit with only about an inch to spare total!! I turned out exactly how I'd hoped because I wanted it to look as built-in or made to order as possible without paying for a custom build!!! My living room finally looks a little more "grown-up" and a little less like a hodge-podge of "college leftovers"!!! :)
