Eeny meeny miny moe.

I've always had a difficult time making decisions,

but my problem seems to be escalating as I get older.

For example....

Here's my latest window treatment in the works.

You have no idea how many fabrics I tried before I decided on this one!

Lace, ticking, painted grain sack, drop cloth........

Two weeks ago, we finally removed Too Big Armoire from our living room.

I plunked the big dinosaur of a TV onto the dry sink borrowed from the dining room

 and called it a day.  I really thought I could live with this for a while.  Silly me.

My stereo speakers joined in the loveliness.

After only one day of UGLY staring me in the face, I hoisted the ancient TV

all by myself and lugged it out to the garage.  I've since joined the 21st century and I

now own a small flat screen TV.  Although it's small and lightweight,

it's still an eyesore to me, so I tried to think of ways to camouflage the thing.

I couldn't come up with a practical solution, but a vintage cabinet I saw

at a local shop came to mind.  I paid the shop a visit to see if it was still there.

It was.

#1 Pretty in Pink

It's exactly what I envisioned for the room.  Two cabinets, one for each side

of the fireplace would be better, but one would do.  It's only 11" deep, so it 

would look custom built for the room, and my small TV would easily fit inside.

This is the most expensive choice and transporting it would present a problem.

There was another option.

#2 Pine a' la Mode

This pie safe has been altered somewhat, hence the low price.

It's a little taller than I'd like and would reach the window sill, 

so no treasures could be displayed on top.  But it would not only hide my TV,

there would be plenty of storage for afghans, laptop, stereo, etc.

It would easily fit into either of our vehicles.

To add to my confusion, daughter number one offered up one of the pair of cabinets

I painted for them a few years ago that's momentarily sitting empty at their house.

#3 Sweet Petite

Here it sits in the exact spot where I'd be placing the cabinet of choice.

My TV would fit between the top of the cabinet and the window

and it's already bought and paid for and nicely restored, too.

Time is of the essence for the first 2 because they're marked 40% off

and they're going to sell quickly.

I've made my decision.....I think.......I'm pretty sure........

but I'd like you to guess which one it is,

and tell me which one you'd choose.

2 centuries years ago.

Excuse the historic colonial era photo.

April 2014

Transitional phase.

Armoire gone.  Piano gone.  Chair moved.

TV cabinet would be placed under the window on the left.

2 months ago.

The arrangement looks far less awkward here than it does in real life.  I'm sure it breaks every
 feng shui rule, whatever they may be.  The armoire is gone and both chairs have been relocated
 to the opposite side of the room out of camera range.  The sisal rug was a trial run 

and my old red rug is back.  The love seat now sits adjacent to the couch on the window wall
 and my curtains (not shown here) are hemmed.  Woo hoo!  Mission complete.

  The wicker coffee table also got the heave-ho, but we'll talk about that some other time.

  Remember, my word for 2015 is focus.  So let's stay focused, girls, and choose a TV cabinet!

 Eeny meeny miny me,

which should I choose, one two or three?

Thanks for stopping by to cast your spell vote!
