Holy Cabinet, Batman!

We have a new addition to the family. A very LARGE new addition.

No, it wasn't another almost 10 lb. baby (ha!). It is an 8 foot tall, 3+ feet wide armoire/entertainment unit. We did not purchase this (are you surprised?), but if we did, it would have easily cost us upwards of $600+. No, our neighbor is moving, and this armoire was custom-made for him by his girlfriend's uncle (or something like that) who is a furniture maker. This thing is SOLID. No fake wood here.

It was quite the CHALLENGE figuring out first how to get it in the house (which turned out to be a cinch) and how to stand it upright, and better yet, WHERE to put it. Our home's room design limits us greatly to large furniture. A sofa sectional is quite literally not an option.

After about 15 minutes of THINKING, and only about 30 seconds of elbow grease, we set it up in the corner of our first floor middle room. We've decided to put our stereo equipment and game systems inside. It works out really nicely, in fact. We haven't optimized the USAGE of the three large drawers yet, but I'll figure something out. Consolidation from OTHER places is key!
