Hate it or Love it? The TV Easel

Good morning!  I have to say, I have been feeling so fabulous this week!  I'm in the middle of doing some vision boarding and setting goals for this year.  If you read my Happy New Year's post, then you know a little bit about how I felt completely stripped of ambition this past year and just felt plain old lost.  Well after some prayer and fasting, I have a project and am so excited to go full speed ahead!  I'll share a little later once I iron out the details!

I first saw the art easel turned TV stand/media center while watching Nate Berkus' show.  Nate (yes, we're on a first name basis in my head) had Mr. Goodwill Hunting make over a living room, and I have to admit the first thing I noticed was that pretty coral console he reworked and not so much the easel.

Anyway, I have been coming across the idea every so often, but I'm not convinced that I'm a huge fan, partly because it leaves little storage space. I suppose a way around that would be to keep things like my DVDs and my husband's Playstation games in a nearby place like that console above.

I found some tutorials here and here, and if you're not into DIY, you can buy a reasonably priced easel here.

So what do you think? Hate it or love it?
