We are in the midst of doing a few upgrades to our tv watching. Reed has been looking for at the HDTV products and 'patiently' waiting for them to have the features and the price that he would be comfortable to purchase it. I love the fact that he puts so much time and effort in all his purchases and projects!! Typically he will research what he is interested in for a month or so. Once he finds something, I'll get a link to what he likes. Then we make the trip to the store to 'look' at it in person and we usually leave with it. This time things have become more involved.
Find a HDTV that will fit in our entertainment center (tv is too small new plan: sell the old entertainment center with tons of storage and purchase an awesome tv console from Costco, which we love). We had two entertainment centers for a week and a half, just sold the old one today!!! Hurray for Craigslist! Hurray we have our livingroom back!! Now we need to figure out how to store Ms. A's toys and our books. Any suggestions?
HDTV is still in transit - coming by covered wagon (joking) and will arrive next month.
Since we are getting a new HDTV we need to upgrade the theater system ie: install in-wall speakers nine holes in our livingroom for the five speakers!
With the new theater system we need a new receiver, sell the old one with the speakers on Craigslist (still there! we have two sets of receivers and speakers).
With all these repaired holes, Reed asked me of I wanted to paint the walls!! Hurray I've been trying to prepare him for that idea since we got married. The white walls are the original paint color from when he purchased the home in 2000. I have color samples on the wall to see how they look. I asked Reed's opinion and he said: "Pick which color you like and then come to me." My response: "But if you don't like it, I'll have to start over." His other suggestion was to ask Sara for her opinion since she's lived in the house longer than us this past year. She didn't like that idea either. We'll see how this one plays out.
There's a few other upgrades that we are doing, but they are still in the works. I had to laugh a bit when this first started, a tv upgrade has snowballed into a major home improvement. It will be great once we are situated and can enjoy a nice Friday movie. I'll enclose pictures when we're done.

no kidding, quite the undertaking! how exciting to get new furniture and to paint your walls! i can't wait to see what color you choose! good luck!
We're having similar new TV = rearranging problems. Luckily, we didn't have to buy the new TV...Sean won it at work. So, he earned a 42" last fall that we put in the family room. We then moved the fam room one to the master bedroom and the master TV to the basement. Now he got 37"...so...we put that one in the master bedroom, we're in the process of moving the master one to the basement and then we sold the one that was in the basement. We're debating selling the one that will go in the basement since it's soooo heavy. That's why it's in the process of moving. We put it by the front door and we're deciding if we want to sell it or not. Of course moving tv's meant moving tv stands, bookshelves, etc etc. It really does snowball!!!
