entertainment center

Well, they did it. Gentry & his dad built an entertainment center & dividing wall in two weeks. I'm amazed, & it looks incredible!

Here is the living room when we first saw the house in December 2010:

This is actually the exact place that the entertainment center now sits. Since our home was built in the late 60s, the house didn't really have a natural place for a television. We don't watch t.v. very often (other than for movies and football games - Roll Tide!), but the only place that a t.v. would go was on an imaginary wall in between the dining room & living room that only I could see in my head. This might be a problem for most people, but I am lucky enough to have a husband & a father-in-law who can build anything as long as you can draw it out for them.

We had this set up for a year while we worked on other projects in the house:

The next series of photos are of the building process.

my finger got in the way :) oops

Then the television went in:

& here is the finished product:

& there you have it! We now have an amazing entertainment center & room divider all in one! It definitely makes a huge difference in both rooms!
