I'm so upset- Update in FIRST post
Many years ago I "inherited" a piece of furniture that belonged to my grandparents. They actually gave it to my parents when they moved, but the piece was so large it wouldn't fit up the stairs so it sat in my parents garage for 30 years.
I always loved it and my parents told me when you have a house it's yours. Well, my parents just recently moved so I had the secretary restored (it was a mess from sitting in the garage all those years), and was so excited to have it in my house.
I totally redid our office to fit it...repainted, etc.
Well, it was delivered Friday and it just wouldn't make the turn to get it into that room, so now this huge piece is sitting in my living room, which looks crowded and awful 
I just don't know where to put this thing...
Dh's idea is to get rid of the wall unit and get a flat screen  but I'd really like kitchen cabinets before we do that!!!
GRRRRRRRRR!!!!! It's such a shame!!!
********************************
I updated here for Donna
Well, I told DH I would do anything he wanted if he got the piece in the office  He tried really hard, trust me!
But, it's now in the guest room, and actually looks really good in there!!!
We are going to try to sell the existing furniture in there (too light, and too many pieces) and buy a new set to match the secretary...

Re: I'm so upset
My aunt once ordered a couch it wouldn't fit through the door. My uncle took the living room window out and brought it into the house through that

Re: I'm so upset
Oh Lisa that sucks royally! I know when
my friends MIL had a huge sleeper sofa that she wanted in a spare bedroom it wouldn't navigate the turns in the hall and they ended up popping out the window and put the couch in that way! Good Luck! I guess you would probably have to have a huge azz window huh?

Re: I'm so upset

Nope 
I was hoping the legs came off b/c I can see some screws there, but it doesn't look like it now

Re: I'm so upset
It's Gorgeous! If that is your living room, it goes nicely with the Walls. Are there any other pieces in the room that you would like to get rid of instead?

Re: I'm so upset- Update in FIRST post
It is absolutely gorgeous!
I'll be honest, when I first read the post, I'm like, why get furniture to match a "desk", but now that I've seen it, I'd do the exact same thing...shame on me!!!!
