SuitedAces21 2,721 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 i knew someone would comment on that. but if you'll notice that beam next to the drivers side door. if you don't pull forward all the way the drivers door can't open fully. it's a very poorly designed spot.

hank213 1,823 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Well you know who to turn to when, after years of solitary living you finally decide to turn the extra bedroom into a "playroom" for your "pets." 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Minimalism is key. Make sure every design element you need and/or love, and get rid of everything else. Clutter is the enemy of taste. That isn't to say forget all purely aesthetic flourishes, just make sure you love each one, because they will now become a permanent part of your mental environment.

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Youre right BigD. I should have included you originally. And Dutch. Essay your input appreciation is implied. I'm concerned with cable management, especially with my surround sound wires. And my cable input is at a terrible location. Giving serious thought to popping off the trim and scoring the drywall and running cables there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Everything has to go together. Think of your decor like a living organism with a bunch of working systems. It doesn't matter if all your other bodily systems are working fine, one tiny little arterial blockage and the whole thing comes crashing down. Your nervous system could be healthy as a horse. Doesn't matter. Decor must be exactly correct or it is entirely incorrect. There is no valiant effort or 'almost there'. Everything is contingent on everything else. In 99.9% of cases, you cannot maintain a cogent decor with 'the furniture you have'. You must get rid of it all and start over with a blank slate, or keep those one or two 'beloved pieces' but understand that's going to define your eventual sofa and your tables and your pillows, which is very constraining. This includes highlight elements. Link to post Share on other sites
hank213 1,823 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I wouldn't get too hung up on finding the "perfect" decor given this is your first solo apartment. Wait until you buy, then focus on a top to bottom look at your furnishings etc. Here I would say experiment, find what you like and what works for you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,721 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 i really think a lone recliner in front of a 70 inch LED TV is the way to go. keep it simple. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,747 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I like how people still say "flat screen TV's" as if that's some kind of meaningful prosperity indicator. I especially love it when I see Hotels "advertise" this. "Oh. I guess we aren't staying there." Napa, buy stuff you like, put it where you like it. Fvck anybody else's opinion.

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I spent $500 on a decent couch, and everything else was a donation from my parents. I don't have cable and don't invite people over, so anything more just seems like a waste. I know Napa probably has more friends and reasons to give a shit about this stuff. I'm just looking at it like every dollar spent on something dumb like bourbon is setting me back another day or two from being able to afford a nicer home. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah, I'm not trying to spend a ton of money. A little paint. Maybe one or two nice pieces. I like my couch. It matches the carpet here and I already have it. I've got a nice coffee table that I got years ago from a friend. I just don't want to be embarrassed when I have guests. Maybe even have them be a little impressed. Link to post Share on other sites
