Much Love For The Credenza

I used to think credenzas were ugly and dated... a throwback to another time. I've seen credenzas mostly in the homes of older folks whose homes still featured orange shag carpet, chunky river rock and tv's housed in large wooden boxes. Basically, homes that had remain unchanged in style since the late 60's. But, recently, the credenza is making it's way out of grandma's house and into very stylish, ultra modern homes. 

When we moved into our new place last weekend, we realized that our dining room looked awkward with only our dining room table. Something was missing. And I have come to realize what is missing... a mutha flippin' CREDENZA! 

There are so many totally fabulous credenzas to choose from out there. Here is a roundup of my favorite pieces that I've seen so far. I tend to favor the white lacquered and wood look, but there are so many to choose from. Which look do you fancy?
