"Adultification" pt 1

A few days ago I realized that I'm still living in a house that basically equates to a series of interconnected college dorm rooms. I can't say bachelor pad b/c in my mind, a bachelor pad is well decorated, clean and has a pool tables in any space large enough to manage it. Basically, I imagine a well decorated pool hall. ANYWAY...


So I've decided to start what I'm calling the "adultification" of my life. I'm not far off from 30 years old so my home should probably reflect that. To begin this process, I chose to update the living room.

This should be a three step process:
1. Replace the entertainment center erea.
2. Replace my garage sale furniture
3. Paint. (b/c my entire house is the exact same color in every room: beige)

STEP 1.

What I thought would be the easiest part of this plan turned out to be quite time consuming. I thank Walmart for it's small selection of very inexpensive entertainment centers. Though there may not have been much to choose from, I lucked up and found one I liked. Twelve hours later I've finished putting together this complicated monster. Out with the old and in with the new. Step one complete.
