Good stuff in here guys. Revisiting this thread has inspired me to finally buy some furniture and decorate. My place looks exactly as it did the day I moved in - mattress/box spring still on the floor without a frame, art still leaning on the walls instead of being hung, etc.

About bed frames, what are your thoughts on tufted headboards? Do you think this is too feminine? I asked some of my friends (guys and girls), and they're 50/50 on it.

I live in a loft with exposed brick, so classic style lends itself much better to my place than contemporary. The other option is to go with a reclaimed wood frame, but I'm not sold on that quite yet.

i think tufted beds would be alright as long as you got them in a masculine color. black looks great but i don't like that material you posted above. 

 

[monstar]

If you're gonna have a tufted frame the material needs to be dark and leather. Can't roll with textiles IMO.

When I think of tufted furniture thats masculine its usually an old business office or law office

I've got a decent red couch for this new place I'm moving into next month. Anyone got any info on where I can find a decently priced arm chair? I want to keep it simple with just the one arm chair and the couch.

Any input for privacy film for windows? Ordered some samples from this place: http://www.decorativefilm.com/static-cling-non-adhesive

I moved to a ground level unit and hate that I have to keep my blinds closed all of the time. Deciding between the silver/reflective tint (15% visibility) and white sand (practically 0%). Don't have a view of anything other than the street. Would like to still see outside but don't want people to see inside at all.

Pic to show my floor.

I have it through the entire house except the bedrooms.

I live in tampa fl, and water damage was a concern since I live in a flood zone.

The wood tile was a great substitute for real wood.

Esp in the kitchen.

I only have about 150 now which is good. But yea, no more 1 bedroom life for me. Thankfully I also have a room for my shoes and clothes now.

I'm married - my wife knows that our house will always be minimal lol

I can't stand clutter




Bedroom is just about done, just purchased a light wood dresser to break up our bed set.

TV hung on the wall - wires all hidden, cable box behind the tv on the mount - came out great.

Bro I wish i could get my girl to take some of the pictures down. Its only one of us but she has maybe 6-7 pictures of family members or close friends around the place and I hate having to see so many. I feel like im in my grandmothers house. I feel bad to have her take them down cause all of her family is in FL but still.

LOL I KNOW! I took simple to mean design. He didn't state a budget. There are cheaper versions, but the style is dope.

 

[Mark Antony]

Sa'll good, wayfair or overstock might have similar styles for cheaper.

 

[All Ready]

who else has some new setups or new pics?

You can usually find a 15% code for overstock or buy a coupon off ebay for a few bucks. Use mrrebates or ebates for cashback offers as well plus there's a 15% off furniture click through no code discount. Christopher Knight is a good brand, I am more than satisfied with the memory foam bed I ended up getting from them and Target has picked it up as well. But IIRC, blinkin you live in the A right? Check your local Ross and Marshall's, chairs like that are a dime a dozen esp at off price stores plus Atlanta has good **** on CL. They still don't have me set up at my new job so I literally just browse CL of other cities to see what housing, jobs, etc is like.

Overstock has an extremely similar chair, 2 for $210 before discounts. right here or these 2 for $115. They classify those more as dining chairs though, they'd look more than fine in a living room, but I think I'd go with something more like a wingback or even two
