Space Saving Thought

I have never had a knack for decorating. I blame it on inheriting an analytical brain rather than an artistic brain. My brother actually has a fantastic artistic brain but I am digressing. So back to my thought last night.

I am in the middle of a major clean up and clean out. I haven’t really sat down and gone through anything since I moved into my apartment. That was 3 years ago and man oh man have things piled up on me. So right now I am a shredding, donating, cleaning machine. I actually feel really good when I can spend a few hours and sort through 2 or 3 bags worth of items and determine if I’m keeping, tossing, or donating.

Last night while I was cleaning, I started thinking about ways to cut down on the number of “furniture items” in my rooms. As I glanced at my tv I thought maybe buying a lcd mount might be a good space saver.

I don’t know too much about mounting a tv on the wall but the one I have is a fairly light-weight Samsung lcd from last Christmas. Its no larger than 20 inches so it shouldn’t be too hard. Plus there seems to be a large variety of mounts (sizes, shapes, brands) out there so probably buying a few to see what they look like would be the best thing. That way I could find one that fit my tv and looked sturdy enough to hang on the wall and then return the rest. I haven’t tried this before so is there anything I should be aware of?
