When I was looking a couple of months ago, I ran into the same problem. They are absolutely hideous. If this thing is going to be visible in my home, there's no way I'm going to have something that hideous messing with my home's chi. Fortunately, I found this one. It's larger than I would like, all gaming computers are, but at least it's pleasant to look at.

I use it often, but not every day. My china cabinet is so full that you can't actually see the pretty dishes, but just piles of dishes.

There is really no one left of our family except my sister and me. And she ruined all of hers and the giant antique cabinet it was in when she burned down her house. We plan to move to a smaller place on the beach in about 2 years, so i have been de-cluttering lately.

The china cabinet is a hand-painted antique that i've loved for my whole life, so i will be keeping it. But all of those dishes are going to have to go. I certainly dread trying to find a buyer to take them to good homes.
I used to feel compelled to hold on to items from my mother and grandmother. I finally realised that their stuff is not them and if I'm not using it, it's not enhancing my life. I thought it would bother me after I got rid of most of their stuff, but it makes me feel lighter and more free. Turns out it was weighing down my life more than enhancing it, just like any other items that I need to get rid of.

Speaking of which! I just remembered that they're picking up bulk trash tomorrow!! I need to get stuff to the curb!
