Console yourself.

I admit that I have been a snob. I always thought t.v. was a waste of precious time. But as life changed television has become part of my calming down in the evenings as I transition from a hectic work day. I hate to admit it but sometimes my husband and I even eat dinner watching t.v. (Even worse some of the things we watch are fairly silly but ridiculously entertaining)....

But, being a design freak, I of course, have to watch tv in an environment where I can focus on the show and not the clutter around the tv. We have now gotten plasma screens, clean, spare and immensely easy to love. Honestly they are downright sexy. Seriously. In response the furnishings industry has gone crazy creating consoles compatible with flat screens and here at Sunrise I have gone equally berserk showing these wonderful new pieces.

I catch myself showing them to clients using ridiculously glowing terms including "wire management, heat escapement, and smart eye"..... When I fell, I guess I fell hard.

Lately there are "things" that have seriously improved my day to day life....and again I am embarrassed to say they actually are "things"..... my kuerig coffee maker, my plasma tv that

I can actually operate by myself, and my new console that is so pretty and hides everything I

don't want to see so I can concentrate on what I do want to watch!

So, if you've come to the "dark side" where watching American Idol and DWS is part of your evening routine - you can at lease console yourself by knowing you are doing it in style.
