Another New Decorator Touch Coming Soon

You can see the old green tone counter in this photo along with a sample of the new countertop.

Nexus21 TV Lift in Action

I finally took a few moments to video tape the TV lift in action. It is a Nexus 21 TV lift that we bought directly from the manufacturer.
