I bought a new center channel speaker for my home theatre system. My wife thought it was too big and had to go. To save it I built a really cool shelf to hold it (and some of her stuff) and bridged over the TV with some glass shelves she bought. Because I hid the speaker and tied her existing furniture together she was so happy with it that she "allowed" me to keep the new big speaker.
