^ I really like that couch...it's like a sectional, but a mini one so it doesn't take up a lot of space...where did you get it from?

IKEA, http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S09856178, that isn't my exact couch but that's the model. And it's comfortable too.

I purchased the industrial style mirror & file cabinet from there as well. The ottoman is from Room & Board's Townsend collection which I feature in my living room. (However my desk is from CB2.)
My living room is below.
I just attached my Pioneer Elite Pro111fd to a Sanus mount. It is a full motion mount that can move from 3"-26" from the wall and way from left to right and tilt as well.
The two couches on the left are from the Room & Board Townsend collection, as well as the ottoman. It's wrapped in a soft microfiber that doesn't stain. The other couch on the right is from CB2 that folds out into a twin sized bed.
My dining table (72" long) is from the Room & Board Anderson collection. It is walnut, as are the chairs.
Alternate view...
My surround sound is hidden throughout the room and it is attached to my turntables (numark ns7's) that run through my Mac.
You need to hide all those wires it will give you room a cleaner look.

Blackxme, is that in Houston? If so, is that the Broadstone? If not, they have almost identical units.

That is not a dog that is a Pug who happens to be my best friend, and his name is Howie.
They're not individually framed they're just on sheets of 3/16" double sided foam board. I had the sheets printed at Kinkos with a better quality gloss paper so it looks better than regular sheets of paper.

This list is great. I love the easy to make bed idea.Originally Posted by quik1987
Tips from GQ
The overall style and comfort of your bedroom has less to do with what you put in it than what you keep out. The easier it is to keep neat, the better it'll look over the long term, so do what you can to simplify. Your bed, for example, should take no more than thirty seconds to make. The trick: Ditch your flat sheet and sleep with only a soft duvet—which is how the Europeans do it. Come morning, just give your duvet a casual toss, leaving a generous drape at the foot of the bed (as we did here), and use your pillows to bridge any space at the headboard. No tucking involved. Likewise, buy an extra set of bedding so changing your sheets doesn't require washing and waiting—and avoid overstuffed mattress pads (they're a *#*+% to launder).
Lose the alarm.
There are so many sounds that can stir you from your slumber; why settle for shrill beeping or the morning news? A more humane alternative: an old iPod loaded with a few of your favorite songs.
Keep your lights small.
Your nightstand has less surface area than you think, so it's best to use the smallest bedside table lamp you can find, like Flou's slender and elegant Gabbiano. $477, www.flou.it
Upgrade your duvet.
The duvet is the bedroom's most prominent feature—even more prominent than the expensive bed underneath it—so invest in a good one, like Area's simple and chic Heather duvet. $250, www.areahome.com
Eliminate the tech.
Be vigilant about this. Leave your laptop and BlackBerry at the door and resist the temptation to turn your bedroom into a home theater. Good speakers are a must, but try giving your television the boot and see if it doesn't change your life.
Don't work in bed.
A nightstand makes a poor desk, so restrict printed matter to the following: one or two books that you're actively reading and a Moleskine notebook for recording flashes of inspiration. $15, www.moleskineus.com
Box it up.
A partitioned box, like this one from Dunhill, is perfect for keeping random man things—cuff links, watches, condoms—in order. Just don't let it turn into a junk heap; keep it less than half full. $440, www.dunhill.com
Corral your crap.
All men have an inborn need to empty their pockets onto the nearest available surface when they enter a room. Don't fight it; just make sure there's a strategically placed tray to catch the mess. Your most luxurious option: Poltrona Frau's Type 1 Tray, which is upholstered with the same leather used in Ferrari interiors. $170, www.frauusa.com
Get decent sound.
Instead of putting your speakers inches from your head, set up a Tivoli Model Two radio near the foot of your bed and hook it up to the iPod on your nightstand. It'll fill the room better than even the most expensive all-in-one units. $200, www.tivoliaudio.com

Nice looking place Tim. How does the TV work for you over the mantle? I was thinking of doing that with mine but was worried it might be too high. Do you find it is too high or an ok height?

^That's actually pretty dope, but IMO it'd be better without the three lights dangling down.
