The right wall color, fur rug, comfy couch, fire place. The LCD TV is for other dudes. Chicks don't care if you have a big screen. A big tub gets them every time. It doesn't even have to have jets.
always loved aquariums but have no idea about cost and upkeep. any input?Originally Posted by ATLien Seeko
Good thread. A lot of people dont think about it, and it's kinda high maintainance, but an aquarium adds a lot to a room/house. Also, dont forget about having dope lighting and some sort of art scheme. My pops had our crib laced with African art (real stuff, no TJ Max $10.99 specials), aquariums, crystals and all that. It'll set ur crib apart from the rest.
i love how they look but might not be worth the time/effort.Originally Posted by ATLien Seeko
College Park. Old crib was in Fayetteville.
I dont have any input as far as maintainance goes because pops always took care of it, but, but I can tell you that there's a lot of upkeep! They're mad expensive, and it's not furniature, it's more of another hobby than anything, so you gotta consider that...
i don't really know how to label my style...not afrocentric. its probably safe to say that i like urban. i like city skyline art if thatmeans anythingOriginally Posted by ATLien Seeko
What's your style? Afrocentric, urban, etc.?

i just like a clean, fresh look. my walls are a light tan color and the area rug in my living room has deep reds and olive greens. should i try to get artwork that incorporates the same colors?
i would like to frame my Jordan "WINGS" poster
Contemporary is probably the right way to describe it.Originally Posted by ATLien Seeko

I'd say your style is contemporary. Look for some nice pieces with clean shapes and lines that accent whatever you have going on in your place. It's kinda hard to describe if you dont have a clue, but if you post a pic, I could probably help you out... Just think about it kinda like dressing yourself... And for the Wings poster, it's black and white, right? Get a dope black or matte silver frame for it with a dual boarder (dont know the correct terms for all of it...) and dont go cheap or it'll be obvious.
I think for an appartment, I'd make mine look similar to Martins from his show.I know, I know, but it was always a dope lookin chill spot to me! Crib would be completely different.

All depends on his style though. For an apartment(short term), I'd say do whatever you want. Have fun with it as long as it's incorporated well, butyou definitely have to step it up for a house. I mean... You dont have to, but I would...

that was my only concern - that posters are...."immature" i guess.
Seeko - i own the condo
Word? I'd skip the Wings poster then.. Unless you're putting it in a sports themed entertainment room or something like that.

While we're on the topic, is there anywhere besides Ikea to get modern furniture at a decent price? I keep hearing Ikea's stuff isn't that comfortable, but I love the modern look?
Probably not, but I guess it depends... What city are you in? Try Craigslist, you might get lucky... Browse shops around your city and be innovative. You wouldbe surprised how you can make old cheap stuff look really, really good...
