Take my husband and I for example! We live in a small apartment (that we love), but we know we wont be here forever (maybe another year or two). It wouldn't make sense to buy anything based on this temporary living space alone, because when we move we'd have a bunch of stuff that didn't work with our new space (talk about a waste of money).
Ever since we got married we've been shopping around for a new TV console to replace the rinky-dink black wooded box the TV was sitting on. At first we wanted a corner console because it made more sense with our small space, but honestly, it didn't make sense for our future plans to move. Where else would we need a corner console? So we kept shopping, praying and thinking. As we shopped we couldn't really find a small console that was as dramatic as we wanted, they were all so boring, but we did find a Karolina cabinet that we LOVED. We decided to buy it and use it as our temporary TV console. After a few adjustments, like sawing a small, neat, hole in the back for wires, it will be perfect! When we eventually move to a bigger, more permanent place we will be able to use the cabinet in our entry way, hall way or dining room. So, remember when buying big items to think long term. Be practical. Otherwise, you will collect random pieces of furniture and have a hodge-podge space.
