I can't tell you how much this tv situation bothered me. Even looking at it now makes me feel very uncomfortable. Something had to be done, and I had my sights set high on purchasing the perfectly sized corner console for the television to fit in (and all the speakers and wires and things Dave deals with could be neatly tucked out of sight.) Needless to say, that console does not exist, since it is the smallest corner ever. So, like most things, I decided I'd be better off making it myself. As I was on my way to Home Depot, I passed by the local wood "boutique" that had recently opened right by my house, and figured I would at least try to source what I needed there. They were amazing (shout out to The Lumbery in Cape Elizabeth) and had everything I needed for only about $40*, so I was more than happy to spend my dollars there. I won't insult you by explaining the process step by step because I think you can figure it out looking at the pictures. I'm no engineer that's for sure. But so far, it appears to be standing, and holding the TV without making me cringe every time I try to relax and watch a show. *I was planning on doing drawers in the front, but ended up doing beadboard that slides in and out, so I did eventually have to purchase the beadboard at Home Depot.
