cords hidden

so i'm going to ask you to imagine what this space looked like before we got a tv console with cabinets. there were wires and cords everywhere. and you know those were organized cords--but there were so darn many! our new tv console now hides everything (thank god)!

the tv stand dilemma

honestly, it's not even really a dilemma. basically, adam and i moved in together over 2 months ago. it was a mix of some of his furniture and mine. his dowry included the tv stand (not charming) and the really big flat screen tv (yessss). i had the best intentions last week when i ventured to the LBC flea market and returned with something that looks like this. unfortunately, it does not hide the kajillion cords in the least (even when they're organized, they look like a hot mess). fast forward to the present. adam's mom is in town and has generously offered to purchase a tv console. i've gone to pottery barn, cb2, crate and barrel (expensive) but kinda like this one from target. or maybe this teak/lattice one for a bit more... what say you? what kind of furniture does your tv call home?
