White TV Stand

Okay so I must admit I was quite a skeptic when it came to having a white TV stand. This is coming from the guy who never wears white after Labor Day or for that matter hardly wears white before Labor Day. I just am not that into the color white. But lately I have started to see this flashy trend of furniture being decked with the color I resist most, white.

I am not one who is easily persuaded to try new things, so when my wife suggested that we do something different with our living room; my one hard fast rule was that we would not have any white furniture whatsoever. As long as she stuck to the rule book, made up of one single rule, I was game to try anything she wanted.

For weeks my wife watched “do it yourself” shows and interior designers say how great white TV stands and other white furniture looked in houses and made them look artistically clean. Finally after weeks of begging and praying that she wouldn’t ask about white furniture, my nightmare came true.

For the Sake of My Love
After a few days of not talking to each other because of our huge fight over a little white TV stand, I finally decided for the sake of my love for my dear wife and our marriage I had best give in to her demands. So off to the furniture store we went, setting out to find that unattractive piece of white furniture, that I knew I would loath for all of eternity.

Sold Like a Salesman
When we entered the store I knew I would be miserable as we had to seek out the furniture I already knew I would hate. A salesman asked us what we were looking for and before I could say anything my wife had already piped up that we were looking for a white TV stand. The employee took us around showing us various sets of furniture on display, until we came to a room set up similar to our family room. He showed us the various options we had with TV stands until we came to the one my wife absolutely loved. Still looking at it through a skeptic’s eye I told the young man serving us that he would have to convince me that going with that stand was a good choice. After a short while he had that item sold in my mind like only a true salesman is able to do.

White Is a Delight
Now that I am looking at my brand new TV stand I must say that for all the skepticism that I had of that color white, it really isn’t that bad. While I probably have a lot of other skeptic fears that I need to get over, I can now say that that white TV stand is truly a delight.
