table

I purchased my OWN furniture! It was not received as a hand-me-down or given as a gift, it will be occupying my house because I selected it and bought it. Furniture shopping is even more dangerous than buying clothing, accessories, or beauty products because you keep wanting more once you set the new stuff next to the old stuff or partially fill a previously empty area. Plus you can't turn down the extra options to maximize the use of your new furniture, like leather cleaner or coasters. I'm fighting an urge to tackle the void that is our media room...and reminding myself one piece at a time is plenty.

And no, that picture is not my actual space, only a privileged few are special enough to see my inner sanctum. But anyone on the internet can see what my new table looks like.
