Sleeping on the floor has been THE WORST and I wasn’t expecting my mattress until Thursday. I set up my bed frame this morning (Thuma, which was expensive, but it’s really nice and took five minutes to assemble) as I was waiting for my couch to be delivered. Turns out, Macy’s combined my deliveries so I got the couch AND the mattress today. Now that my bed is complete, I can start figuring out how to decorate the bedroom. I put a 6x9 rug under half of the bed and I think it looks pretty good, and then I ordered the following nightstands (I wanted floating because I have the underbed storage drawers on one side and apparently it’s a faux pas to just have one nightstand, lol) and dresser. Also ordered this bath mat because I want the bathroom to be a happy place, lol: I hung some art around the place this morning and that is already helping make my new place feel like a home.
Yeah it’s beautiful. I’ve never had a non-shitty Amazon frame before so this feels extra premium. The underbed drawers are nice and huge too but I’m not sure what I should store in them yet!
I thought they were gonna be useful as well, but mine got VERY dusty. Anything you put in there, I'd recommend a tote of some sort.
Work in progress, but my girlfriend and I just repainted, and redecorated our living room. I'm not entirely happy with the curtains, and I think we need some wall lights or something to fill the space behind our TV, but I'm definitely happy with the progress so far. (Please ignore Newcastle beating Arsenal on TV )
Green is on point. RE TV: Mount that bad boy and then slap some of the cheap but awesome looking backlights to it! Tatazone Bluetooth RGBWW LED... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B823C8XD/?tag=absolutepunk-20
Throw some of these over those framed items too. Then you never need to turn on the overheard light which is a rule in our house. https://a.co/d/6wBOEwY
Thanks both, I'm actually pretty colourblind so I was putting full faith in my partner's vision for the colour scheme so glad she's nailed it! haha. We took down some fittings when we moved in, so she may take some convincing getting the TV back on the wall! That is sick though.
Yeah, it's a little log burner built into our chimney. One of the things that sold us on the house tbh!
Kind of silly, but I think I’m going to have to put my TV adjacent to my couch because I have limited placement options and the wall across the couch not only just out but is only 45” wide, and I really don’t want a TV smaller than 65” (or <= 45” for that matter). Is that going to be awful? I really can’t tell. I could just lay on the couch or prop myself up against the arm rest, and for guests I can always get a small chair that can be moved across from the TV.
Mount it on the wall if you can with one of those mounts that has an arm on it that allows you to pull out the TV and move it when necessary
I bought one of those standing Duraflame electric fireplaces and I am shocked at how convincing it is in the living room when I’m watching something. It’s clearly fake when you stare directly at it but I’m honestly super impressed and it might be one of my favorite apartment purchases so far. The heating element works well, too. I just ordered a small fire crackling sound box that I’m going to attach to the bottom of it.
I love this cause I love the coziness of a fireplace but I know with 100% certainty I'd never actually light a fire in a real one
Move into my new place a few weeks ago after being in a half a twin for the past 10 years. Cannot wait to the blow the walls out. Paneling from Costco, super easy to install and not nearly as expensive as some of the stuff I’ve found online.
been in a new place since the end of summer, first place i’ve ever lived solo. been very nice finally having full control of the decor/furniture. although i did lose my lovely basement storage/workspace. but, i finally got a couch for the space the other week after making due with a handle me down recliner, so here’s the living room. apologies for the messy coffee table and clutter-deco. the inflatable chair was a joke housewarming gift from my aunt, though i may still set it up for additional seating. i also need to re-center the snowboards behind the couch now.
I hired a housekeeper for a one time deep clean for the first time in my whole life. It was so bizarre because both me and my bf's moms had done housekeeping when we were younger and we'd both helped our respective parents with it as youths. I felt guilty having her clean anything and kept saying "don't worry about it!" When she'd ask if she should clean something. But it looks nice and was so helpful. Not sure I'll do it again tho.
