NFL .... New Fabulous Layout

You see, in the Sheik house hold, EVERYTHING is put on hold for football season.(**ya,ya**Go Greenbay!) When I initially decorated my house I purposely put the TV upstairs in the office with hopes that Jordan and I would have friends over often and we would build relationships rather then build a list of have-to-watch tv shows. This idea worked great...for about a month! Come September our marriage was rudely uninterrupted by none other then football season. Now don't get me wrong I really do enjoy watching football on Sunday afternoons in the fall, with a yummy chip dip and a fall beer in hand. What I do mind is that the only TV is plugged in is upstairs in our office, which really isn't an office yet - it is nothing more then a catch all room filled with unpacked boxes and NO seating! That's right - NO SEATING! we sit on a pallet of pillows on top of mattress on the floor! Not to mention this is the ONLY place in our entire 2200 sqft home my husband wants to be :( --- So I have come up with an idea to remedy this! I have come up with my own NFL season. Except my NFL stands for a NEW FABULOUS LAYOUT!

I decided I am going to make a new place to show case our TV. I am going to use a buffet and place it up against the wall directly under the where the TV will be placed. The buffet will look something like this:

The antique stain on the wood will go well with the character of the old farm house.

On either end of the buffet I will place Lighting fixtures to frame the TV. To add decorative detail A grouping of a floral display can be placed in the center. If anyone wants to do this themselves make sure your arrangement is close to the same width as your TV. Proportions are so important. This set up makes it super simple to exchange the center piece seasonally to keep your decor festive.  I'll face a love seat and very comfy chaise lounges towards the TV and presto ~

Here is what it will look like when it is finished:

  

wah-lah 

There you have it - 

A NFL Season we can Both Enjoy
