Fancy Garage Shelves?

June 7th, 2013 at 03:30 am

I managed to get my ebay stuff listed, contacted the Study Abroad folks about my airfare reimbursement, and today received the check for DH's osteopath while we were in London. All good.

Our new TV cabinet was delivered yesterday, and I hung around today to meet the charity shop drivers who were picking up our old one and an old desk. But, much to my chagrin, they wouldn't take the big old entertainment center. No one in town will. They told me that so many people had dumped the old style ones since flat screen TVs took over that they can't sell them. It's now in our garage. I've listed it on freecycle and Craigslist, but I suspect it will become a very sturdy holder of dandelion spray and old hoses.

    I could not sell my childhood bed, which was very nice. Someone literally hauled it away to use the wood in their garden. Frown I never told my parents because they bought me said bed when I was a pre-teen. I knew they would have been horrified where it ended up - beautiful piece of furniture. Just not practical in our "small bedroom" modern housing.

    I suppose we were lucky to upgrade our TV in 2010 - didn't have trouble finding a buyer back then??

    It did occur to me that while I might have saved money by being a late adopter, I'm now stuck with a big piece of furniture. I keep hoping some art student will take it.

    Would you consider re-purposing the entertainment unit. from You Tube...

    Snafu! I love it! And I think they borrowed our dog for the video. Will show it to husband tonight for his thoughts.

    I had a big entertainment center which was passed down by my parents after their second divorce. Sounds like I let go of it at a good time (back in 2010 I think.)
