I just had to share this with you all.. We got a new 60 inch flatscreen , which was great except for the fact that it dwarfed the TV cabinet we had purchased for the 36 inch tv or maybe it was a 42 ~ anyway it was much smaller lol..
About the same time we decided the family room needed its own heat source .. An fireplace with remote control sounded great to me.. The search began for a combination media center and firplace began. I searched all over the internet and the ones that were large enough to hold that "JINORMOUS" tv and a fireplace with sufficient btu's to heat the room were outrageously priced- or at least I thought they were..Prices ran between 1,300.00 and 3000.00... You know how it is, you get one thing and then it calls for 3 more things , the money being spent turns into a lot more than was originally anticipated.. Well, that was the case for sure..
We went to lowes for a new light fixture for the side of the garage and what did we spy the minute we walked in?? The perfect cabinet, style and size wise at a price I could live with.. 683.00 -- allllllllllllrighty, now were talkin:)
We went over to the sales desk to start filling out the papers and the guy said- " would you like it assembled for free: ahhhhhhhhhhhhh YES, we would... the ones online would have had to be assembled- so again , we were doing good .. They assembled and white glove delivered it for FREE.. Sat it right in place and stayed to show me how it worked and all about the remote control..
I just had to share this wonderful purchase with you..I'm a firm believer in checking for items online but after this I think I'll start looking around first for items closer to home. This same item was twice as much on the CSN site and even more at other sites... so, I'll be going to Lowe's and looking when I want something first.. May as well keep the money in my own area, doncha think:)
Thanks for visiting and sharing in my joy..
Happy Sunday~!!
Sonny
Sonny I LOVE IT not only because it's a beautiful piece, but because I have TWO wood items in my home with that same trim down the sides!! Great minds think alike. I have a mirror and a frame (used to be a cabinet door.)There's nothing better than a heat source that you can stand in front of and heat up. I never thought I'd like a gas fireplace till I got one a couple of homes ago. Love the ease and cleanliness. I've never had an electric but I'm sure it's the same warmth, like home heating.
ReplyDeleteThat's so good to hear about Lowe's. We had one in our area open about a year or more ago and it doesn't seem to be doing very well. I think it's because of the general economy. I love the store but I have to drive about 25 minutes to get there, which is a long way in my world.:) Wish we had a Lowes up the street. Hubby would love it too.
That looks awesome Sonny! Congrats on the big TV...looks like your husband is going to enjoy some great sports on that baby! I love the FP ..it looks great! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece, Sonny! You were in the right place at the right time. I didn't know they made these fireplaces so nice. Now, I guess when we downsize, and I am planning on missing my fireplaces, I'll know I can buy one!
ReplyDeleteA fun TV, a fireplace for the holidays and great deal too-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is a big TV..ours is 50" and it's huge. I love the cabinet, looks perfect, that will be so fun this winter! :D
ReplyDeleteThat is just simply one gorgeous piece Sonny!
ReplyDeleteSonny, I wish I could come and sit by the fire with you and just sit and chat for hours
ReplyDeleteHi Sonny, I love this tv entertainment center you found!Your home is so lovely. I love your kitchen photos too! I am ready for a redo. I hope to at least paint the cabinets, lay the floor & if lucky new counter tops. So inspired by yours~ Have a lovely week~Theresa
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! And you will have such fun decorating it for the holidays!

beautyful, when your not trying it falls in your lap. I'd say your lucky.
ReplyDeleteSonny, I have looked at that piece of furniture at Lowe's before and thought it was so good looking. Having the fp in the piece kind of takes away from the big screen t.v. I love it! How lucky that you didn't order one of those really expensive ones. I don't think you could have found a prettier piece than this anywhere. Good work. laurie
ReplyDeleteSonny~~~
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. I know I love large screen TV's and it's hard to find a cabinet that looks as good as this! Bravo!! :-)
XO,

Sonny,
ReplyDeleteWe just bought a fireplace at Lowe's too. We got a smaller one than yours but, we love it. Aren't they cozy! Yours is very pretty.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I love that fireplace. We need a new TV and I want a gas fireplace. Too bad we spent that amount of money yesterday on our well, ouch. I showed this to my Hubby, hint hint, for when our ship comes in. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same one I have been drooling over! My husband wants a gas one but I want this one!
ReplyDeleteI love your setup. The fireplace is so cozy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy-
