Design thoughts.

I have one of those stereos that looks like a vintage radio - it has a turntable, cassette, and CD player, and it actually sounds pretty good. It looks great in my little study/library, along with some vintage prints and a Victorian looking loveseat and tiffany style lamp...you'd think you'd walked into a 1920's sitting room. With the exception of my desk and computer, there's nothing in the room that looks like it was made any later than 1940. And I've been pretty deliberate in decorating it that way - it's the only room in the house that I've bothered 'decorating' at all, since I spend most of my time in there.

But I was looking at some old TV's on line today, and I just wondered. Wouldn't it be cool if they would make some of these newfangled TV's with HD and flat screens and stuff with the awesome design features of old vintage TV sets? Or do you think I'm crazy? I don't know - I just think it'd be nifty to have a TV that looked like this in my living room, but when it's on, you get all the great picture reception and detail that comes with the modern HD technology. This isn't any bigger than the beast that's in there now, so even the big cabinet wouldn't take up any more space.



If your decorating is more in line with 50's kitsch, here's this little beauty. It would look great in someone's retro kitchen.


Maybe I'm the only person who would buy such a thing. But I don't think so.

When we were shopping for a new fridge I was disgusted to find that there are refrigerators on the market with TV's in the door. Now if there's a market for stupid shit like that, then surely...
