Wrapping up the final details of purchasing my first home. Any recommendations/ideas you guys can give me for future purchases? The main living room set up has space for a couch (already purchased), coffee table (purchased), chairs(1-2)/love seat, a TV and a smaller entertainment area or potential sound system. What I'm really just looking for cool/cheaper decoration ideas, potential DIY projects, etc. Also...any advice for a first time home-owner?
I'm in the same boat; just closed on my first house over July 4th weekend. I have so little furniture, I have no idea what to put in the spare room to really make it my own!
Thankfully I've still got some furniture that I can use from my last apartment, but IKEA is definitely looking like it's going to be my best friend in the closing month or so.
i have a small, lame apartment. i'm ecofriendly and a friend of the environment since I have such a small carbon footprint though. i have random pieces of art around. some basquiat prints, some abstract shit...blue and white colored walls alternating. also have a himalyan salt lamp which has gotten me laid a few times. i tell girls about it when i'm on a date and they want to see it, in my bedroom. lol.
I have a media room and game room in our home here. We went on craigs list and found a bunch of old beer signs and tin album covers for the walls. My advice to you would be not to get married, so you won't have to give away all your stuff at some point
Or have kids. We had two extra rooms before they arrived. The boy took my man cave and my girl took the guest bedroom.
Well the first thing you should probably know is "The grass is not always greener on the other side."
Actually male castration. "You bought this house. ..here....take the dungeon to decorate for yourself" hoop fam
I'm currently gutting my house in Denver. I've expanded the basement by roughly 480 sf, where I've moved our mechanical room and storage room. Now I have a room for a gym, a soundproof music room (so I don't torture my family) and another bedroom suite for long term stays (family, etc.). The remainder of the space will be dedicated to a pool table (with a Ping-Pong table that can be set on it), a wet bar, a poker table and a media area. The only special thing I've purchased is a high volume air exchanger so I can smoke cigars downstairs. God, I hate being a stereotype, but I am a typical middle aged guy.
No, the typical middle age guy doesnt have all that awesome stuff!!! A mechanical room = you have a bad ass house!
