I think I hit the wall, so to speak, when I realized I kept drinking my Pinot Noirs out of (literally) the same Riedel Bordeaux Vinum glass. It’s not a bad choice but I want to use a nice-sized glass with more bowl space and a slightly more tapered shape to get the aromas a bt more focused. So yeah, having a sideboard is sweet. It is missing a few screws and I’ll probably use SuperGlue to keep the joints together, but hey…nobody will know. *)

Ikea makes me want to rip my hair out, but I think I would look funny as a bald woman so I refrain (also, who wants to be accused of copying Britney Spears??). We have a “media” cabinet from there and the screws that came with it don’t actually fit the holes on the glass door. So it has no glass door. Oh, and the hole in the back where you are supposed to feed wires didn’t actually get put in, so we had to chisel a hole ourselves. But I so crave a sideboard…the sheer amount of stuff that one receives for a wedding is daunting. We have boxes and boxes of crystal that we simply haven’t opened because we have no where to put it!
