Along the outside wall we have the couch (newly relocated from the living room), adjacent to our cd racks. I was quite happy to finally have all the cds in one spot. Well, actually the compilations don't fit in these three cabinets, but i won't split hairs.
In our mini-entertainment center we have the TV, which as yet is unconnected to the cable so is more or less non-functional. Very soon however it will have my second Xbox and the Dreamcast attached to it, so it won't be entirely useless. Of more interest ot me is a niche for my amp and guitars, which will hopefully get me back into noodling around and dreaming of becoming a rock star.
On the wall opposite the cd racks we've put Veronica's old desk. Currently it provides a stand for a cd changer that isn't doing much of anything, and my old laptop. I went out and bought a wireless g adapter for the laptop and a wireless range expander for the house, and as a result we have a 54 Mbps network connection with 50-60% signal strength. Not bad ... certainly good enough to surf the web and to connect to V's and my iTunes libraries on our computers in the house. I played amateur electrician last week and spliced a few cables, allowing the laptop's audio output to play over the stereo's speakers. Nothing pretty, but it works. My four track is also on the desk, waiting for me to concoct something worth recording. You'll also notice the Ikea track lighting on the ceiling, which provides plenty of illumination and seems to work with the general aesthetic.
