A new house layout!

Yesterday, for some unknown reason, I decided that we should have a new layout in the lounge room. One of the main drivers was a better spot for the new Samsung Flat Panel. I was toying with the idea of moving the TV onto the (long) wall and mounting it, but Ness came up with the great idea of moving the bookcases from the study out into the lounge and framing the TV cabinet with it. So that was the job for yesterday in between events in the Festivas.

The end result I think looks really good.

It also managed to solve a problem I've been having with DVD storage, with one of the bookcases holding all the DVDs of the other two stands. 

The Projector setup will stay the same and will give the room a bit of a dual purpose. I've kept the speakers in the same orientation and am using the internal sound from the Samsung at the moment.

It's not quite finished yet, we're planning on putting the doors on the cabinets and adding one more (for the high def titles) on the left hand side next to the DVDs but I think it will work well.
