I always find it interesting when people spend a lot of money furnishing their homes with the idea that they'll keep it that way for decades. Often times they won't wear the same outfit for more than a season yet their decor stands unchanged.One of the reasons I like to shop second hand do DIY projects is because I quickly tire of things. When I don't spend a fortune on pieces I can afford to put it on Craigslist and start over.I'm about done with the set up of my entertainment nook. I've had
