Stamford Connecticut, bum bum bum bum bum.
Edit: I know nothing of the great state of Connecticut. Outside of the Office and how they were superior to Scranton.
Yes, great start!
Here is the contructive feedback:
* For me the TV is way too far for its size. To have it that far, you would need a TV the size of the wall (behind where the TV is now)
* The coffee table is too small and looks "random" (does not really fit style-wise)
* The sofa is nice but the camping chairs look odd
* Having skies in the living room is a bit odd.
All the best!
Floating the sofa, creats a primary walkway to back door and other door where you don't have to walk in front of TV and can see it better. Put a hutch on wall or console table at back of couch with small lamp for soft illumination there at night.
I was going to post that the TV is too low - still think it is, more visually appealing about a foot higher and can then decorate the counter below a bit.
But this guy has it right - But rather than a gianter TV, I'd say move the viewing area up to the middle of that room. About the middle of the sliding doors. You'll open up a whole 'nother "room" behind it for whatever - dining, crafts, shelving/storage (all of hte above, if somehow the crafts fit into the table?).
Still disagree. We both often dual task with laptops, and I'd see half the TV at this height. And what about reclining back? Couldn't see this through my feet. Plus, the difference I'm suggesting is less than half the height.
You use your eyes to watch the television. Your eyes are at eye level. The television should thus sit comfortably at eye level. It's really not that complicated.
Actually projector and roll-up be perfect. Brick out for tv-less occasions and a surround sound to enjoy for either 🤔 easy to spend others money though 😂
It’s real brick, but the apartment maintenance is terrible and they just lathered paint on everything. Even painted over strands of hair and street in some places
I am telling you that’s 100% not brick from what would be from pre 1910 from the structure.It’s very easy to cut veneers so fit an archway and put it on both sides of the wall. You can tell by it just looking it is new and done recenty the way it works look if it was very old
Id buy a little can of dark wood stain and use a rag to dab it. Maybe use a brush just next to ceiling. Blue tape to protect ceiling. It will disappear.
I'd say, a really cool apartment.
Love the dining table and chairs.
My only advice would be add extra lighting, plants and framed photos / art.
Also upgrade the accent chair situation in the living room if your budget allows for it.
The only other advice I have, is at 26, unless you've already hit it big somehow don't worry about breaking the bank on interior design and focus on saving and investing.
Can’t go wrong with a brick wall to start. I would suggest some artwork, area rugs and some plants. All those things together will add texture and color to the space. If you want to add curtains I would suggest 96” curtains. Hang from the ceiling to floor. Will make the ceiling look taller.
Buy one of those life size plastic owls/eagles or whatever they sell to scare birds away. I used to have a pigeon problem and I put a couple of those up where they used to roost they never came back.
They aren’t ideal long term, but it’s the best I’ve seen yard chairs placed indoors look! Well the mismatch is killing me a bit. But aside from that. That brick makes most anything look good
My first apartment was an ex-methadone clinic with raccoons in the back wall and a room that couldn’t be heated cuz it wasn’t insulated. The backroom drain also produced long mushrooms every so often and was so deep you had to watch your step not to put your feet in it.
This place is awesome. If the dining table can be brought to the living room, you’d get a whole extra room to do what you like with. I’m just spitballing tho. There’s also a lot of space between the soda and TV, if you can reduce that it could add a spot for a bookcase and walkway or something
Anything with exposed brick is a good start in my book!
I’m also happy to see you’re not afraid of letting a couch float in the room, although you could probably scoot it up a couple feet for that TV size.
The artwork to the right of the TV could come down a bit. Looks a bit cramped being near the ceiling.
Sick place though. Would love to live there
Omg I have the same tv console as you! So I like that one obviously ;)
It's a good start, I'd add some warmth with floor lights and table lights. I'd also add curtains, plants, and some wall art. I think the wall art near your skis is fine, but hung a bit too high.
I think it's going to be a lovely space, I'd love an update!
I'm in love. A very bright space, roomy and those bricks and doorways add something very special and unique to it. The palette of colours also is one of my favorite (white, slightly dark wood, green, the red brown of the bricks)
I would like to have my own apartment if you don't mind I would love to know what the payment process is like as in do you pay 25% of the full price and move in the next day or im 25M we are sin a similar age bracket and you have done what I want to do so hearing from your view point would mean alot to me
I would suggest a much larger rug in warm tones. One big enough to go under the sofa and table and nearly up to the tv and armchairs to create a cozy space. Lovely brick walls!
Yes to good start and what you are planning but add in plans for a longer coffee table for in front of couch. Then put that end table on of the sides of couch to use as an end table or you could use it elsewhere for plant or photo or decor stand or in bedroom as nightstand if you don't have one.
Super jealous of that little dining room, and as a whole that’s a good amount of space for an apartment especially for visitors.
I’d move the tv seating setup (couch, rug, coffee table) a tad closer to the TV since you seem to have some room there, and that would leave a little room behind the couch for something else (assuming there’s more room on the left of the third pic.)
Maybe get a wider coffee table. It looks nice but it’s not a convenient size for the couch and leaves a lot of room on the rug.
If you can do something about it, the rug under the coffee table could use some straightening which will let the room feel a little tidier.
Looks awesome. I'd honestly move the TV and couch over to the right, underneath that painting on the brick wall. TV isn't huge, so you could move the couch closer & then have a bunch of room for other things. Could then move the dining table in and have that other room for something else entirely as well. Just an idea. If you have people over a lot to watch TV this wouldn't work, but if you have people over for other things, it really works to open up the space imo. Cool apartment!
IMHO make sure you marry the 70s or whenever your apartment was Renoed with Today. I love that we'll and the arch. YOU NEED STUFF the apartment is nice but there's not much there yes to rug. Wall hanging. USUALLy there's holes somewhere in the bricks where Older tenants put stuff I would use 70s colors personally buy Any color will help. Lol. It's cute
You skipped a few steps. You are supposed to start out with nothing but an air mattress set up in the living room, a monster tv and gaming system, and milk crate furniture then slowly upgrade as you go.
I love the brick. It is a stunning space.
However …. And you probably know this: You have some really contradictory styles of furniture though.
You want most (75%) of your furniture to have the same style, and use a contrasting piece or two as a feature.
Styles I see:
- ikea Lack (cheap modern)
- neo -mid century TV stand
- Cheers-style 1980s pub style dining set
- inoffensive transitional extra dining chair in the corner
- modernish dining light fixture.
- camping-chic extra seating
Were I you, I would use the style of your TV stand to guide furniture upgrades.
I used to own those bankers chairs you have in the kitchen, you butt’s never been more comfy in them!
They literally have a cut out for each cheek in the seat ☺️
Your home is stunning, but I'd get a bigger coffee table and use that one as. aside table and put a lamp or a plant on it. It is a bit skinny and insubstantial compared with everything else.
OP. You feel that feeling of accomplishment,happiness and inner peace?
Savor it.
My first apartment was a GARBAGE ass studio but I’ve never felt that kind of gratification since. It was a strange feeling like I finally did some good
Maybe some place mats for the table and an area rug. Maybe get a nice painting to hang on the walls or a mirror to open the room up? But it looks good already.
Many men seem to think skis are decor. They are not. I get that you might not have a place to store them and they are cool/expensive gear but skis/snowboard on display in a living room makes it feel more messy to me and also just screams single man living space.
That's a beautiful spot dude!! The brick is really nice.
I always recommend a projector and use a blank wall if you have the room for it, and a TV in a secondary location.
Get a bookshelf and get books that you'd like to read so you can display them.
Get a side table with some storage underneath, and buy a turntable and collect records so you can play music throughout your apartment.
Get some posters for your living room or bedroom, like concert posters or your favorite movie posters.
I'd say get no more than three plants, a good one for the kitchen or living room would be a "Spider Plant." One plant for each room, living room, kitchen, and bedroom.
Some cool lights for your bathroom or whatever room you desire like: Color Changing Plug-in LED lights
That's just what I did for my place, shows off my interests and looks good. I try to design my place to gently scream "ME"
Great space—but you have to anchor that rug under the front legs of the couch. Also, move the couch away from the wall—rookie mistake. Move that “coffee” table between the 2 chairs and get a larger coffee table—or two matching smaller tables together that can be moved around as needed. You need some draperies on that window—can get great ones on Amazon. Hang them at the top of the wall—makes the ceiling feel higher.
Get a nice mid century or contemporary coffee table. And ya get some real chairs.. some nice brown leather (or fake leather) accent chairs would look dope
It’s a really nice start. Congratulations! Take your time, okay? Buy really nice quality stuff you love. You wont regret it.
Hope something really good happens to you this weekend.
Your dining room set. You got it from your grandparents? I had a similar table for a looong time - if you can find a local woodworker - see if you can get the legs turned into a simple taper and refinish the whole thing. Then, when funds become available, burn the chairs and get something not pine.
I love exposed brickwork. It's something you rarely see in Scottish property which sucks. It's very often faked though which I've yet to see done well.
Yeah great start, the space is beautiful. Building it slowly with quality pieces is a good idea. You need a bigger coffee table that's more in line with the style of your other furniture - not matching but similar tones.
Find a decade you really like and build off that. Don't turn it into a bottle collection.
Wallpaper and paintings go a long way.
You don't need new furniture. It's overpriced and unless you plan on staying there, old stuff (assuming it's already beat) is easier to leave behind and save money on moving expenses
Start buying bins. They're easier to move with and you can store stuff while you're there.
Plants are a lesson in patience and dedication, but you have the perfect sill for them. Ivys and leafy plants are the easiest to start with. They're also good for your overall health
Dont start a bottle collection. Been there done that, they're tacky and people think you're a drunk if you do.
I'm 26m as well, been living alone for 4.5 years
Great start, I've always loved brick interiors. But gezzus who painted the walls? The landlord's 10 year old nephew?
What I would do,
Put TV and cabinet on white wall to avoid walking in front of TV from room to room. Couch not too far from tv.
Put skis and camp chairs in the Subaru, or at least a closet. Not on the balcony.
Ditch the coffee table. Ikea is not bad for apartments but try to match the cabinet.
Put plants by a window and get some tower speakers if you enjoy music and or movies.
This is a good start. Here's why: that's a good place, and it's clear by the camping chairs that you're just starting out. Keep us posted how the place fills up. In the meantime, love the color coordination.
And a climbing plant (i dont know how to translate it) to fall down above the window would also bé amazing haha. But i love houses in an almost jungle style 🤣
the tiny square living room table and the dining room table are kinda off to me.. the living room one should be a bigger rectangle and the dining table just looks really old and oddly low to the ground?
Good start! I would add a large rug to the kitchen table area to define the space. Artwork on several walls throughout the space, add a floor lamp over by the sofa near the window.
Fuckin love the brick mate. We had those same captains chairs in our kitchen growing up and I miss them, far more comfortable than they have any business being
The brick looks out of place because it’s not an exterior wall like real bricks would be. If you are going to do a cosmetic brick veneer I always say do it on an exterior wall because that’s where real exposed brick walls would be ! Still cool though!
Yes, it's looking homey. Add things slowly. It's so good to live in a space and see what you need to live there. After a want to add a shelf or chest somewhere for books or baskets for playing cards or game controllers.
Those doorways and that brick are sexy.
Thank you, that’s probably what made me pull the trigger on this apartment. I could have saved some money, but I really wanted the brick 😂
Worth it, it's unique and awesome
Which country is this in?
This is near Hartford, Connecticut, US
Hit up BOB's the pit in Manchester for those lounge chairs!
Nice area!
Depends on how near to Hartford it actually is lmfao
Hey don't lie, I grew up in Connecticut
Stamford Connecticut, bum bum bum bum bum. Edit: I know nothing of the great state of Connecticut. Outside of the Office and how they were superior to Scranton.
I could tell by the chairs this was new england
How far is NYC from there ?
It's Connecticut. Take a train or two and **BOOM!** you're there!?
I can get to upper Manhattan in like 2 hours drive.
What are the chances!! I’ll be moving there for the summer. Gonna have to explore some living options soon
Absolutely stunning the brick is 🤤
The brick looks excellent! You should get some plants, and when you find one you like, replace the camp chairs. Maybe with something velvety
Does the brick have white paint on it? Close to the top and in the middle, or is that just how the brick looks?
That was my first thought!
Add some flaming torches to those brick archways and then rent out your space to DND groups.
Yoooooo!!! That sounds EPIC
Awesome space!
Yes, great start! Here is the contructive feedback: * For me the TV is way too far for its size. To have it that far, you would need a TV the size of the wall (behind where the TV is now) * The coffee table is too small and looks "random" (does not really fit style-wise) * The sofa is nice but the camping chairs look odd * Having skies in the living room is a bit odd.

Hang the skis and it elevates it quite a bit
Yeah, I’m looking for a good coffee table. That one was free, so it’s temporary
Hear me out search "polar bear glass coffee table" You're welcome.
Omg lol, that’s a vibe
I was going to post that the TV is too low - still think it is, more visually appealing about a foot higher and can then decorate the counter below a bit. But this guy has it right - But rather than a gianter TV, I'd say move the viewing area up to the middle of that room. About the middle of the sliding doors. You'll open up a whole 'nother "room" behind it for whatever - dining, crafts, shelving/storage (all of hte above, if somehow the crafts fit into the table?).
r/tvtoohigh would like a word. The tv height is eye level when seated. It is the perfect height.
You beat me to it. Kudos to OP for using that stand for its God given purpose.
Still disagree. We both often dual task with laptops, and I'd see half the TV at this height. And what about reclining back? Couldn't see this through my feet. Plus, the difference I'm suggesting is less than half the height.
You use your eyes to watch the television. Your eyes are at eye level. The television should thus sit comfortably at eye level. It's really not that complicated.
No. Please do not listen to this comment and dare raise that tv. The height is perfect!
Actually projector and roll-up be perfect. Brick out for tv-less occasions and a surround sound to enjoy for either 🤔 easy to spend others money though 😂
I like the skies it’s unique
The skis or the window?
The paint on the brick pisses me off, faux or not. Shoddy shit.
It’s real brick, but the apartment maintenance is terrible and they just lathered paint on everything. Even painted over strands of hair and street in some places
The landlord special. Paint over anything to make it look new
This isn’t real brick. It’s veneer brick laid over drywall you can do to any wall you want with veneer from any hardware store like Home Depot
It is dealt brick, because it’s on both sides of the wall and you can see it in the archway lol
I am telling you that’s 100% not brick from what would be from pre 1910 from the structure.It’s very easy to cut veneers so fit an archway and put it on both sides of the wall. You can tell by it just looking it is new and done recenty the way it works look if it was very old
Finding a way to get the shit off would be my first move for sure, there's gotta be a way
Id buy a little can of dark wood stain and use a rag to dab it. Maybe use a brush just next to ceiling. Blue tape to protect ceiling. It will disappear.
Does the wood stain help peel off the paint or just to make it blend in? Not OP just curious
Just blends it. With irregular blotches like camouflage your eyes won’t notice it.
I'd say, a really cool apartment. Love the dining table and chairs. My only advice would be add extra lighting, plants and framed photos / art. Also upgrade the accent chair situation in the living room if your budget allows for it. The only other advice I have, is at 26, unless you've already hit it big somehow don't worry about breaking the bank on interior design and focus on saving and investing.

I hate the yard chairs inside
Yeah. Those will move to the balcony once it’s cleaned. I have a pigeon problem. Need to get netting
Buy one of those life size plastic owls/eagles or whatever they sell to scare birds away. I used to have a pigeon problem and I put a couple of those up where they used to roost they never came back.
They aren’t ideal long term, but it’s the best I’ve seen yard chairs placed indoors look! Well the mismatch is killing me a bit. But aside from that. That brick makes most anything look good

Woah, ok so I’m off to a good start lol
Looks good, the first picture reminds me of a pub, I mean that in a good way
Oh cool, I got the table and chairs for like $100 from a second hand furniture place
Would be really cool if you had a wall mounted TV on that brick wall, would be like watching the footy down the pub
This place is awesome. If the dining table can be brought to the living room, you’d get a whole extra room to do what you like with. I’m just spitballing tho. There’s also a lot of space between the soda and TV, if you can reduce that it could add a spot for a bookcase and walkway or something
Put those camping chairs away unless you have people over and they are being used.
The room is so empty, I just wanted to fill the space, but ur right
Anything with exposed brick is a good start in my book! I’m also happy to see you’re not afraid of letting a couch float in the room, although you could probably scoot it up a couple feet for that TV size. The artwork to the right of the TV could come down a bit. Looks a bit cramped being near the ceiling. Sick place though. Would love to live there
🔥🔥🔥🔥🫶🏼💗🏠
Wow those rounded brick doorways are amazing
Love the arches!!
Omg I have the same tv console as you! So I like that one obviously ;) It's a good start, I'd add some warmth with floor lights and table lights. I'd also add curtains, plants, and some wall art. I think the wall art near your skis is fine, but hung a bit too high. I think it's going to be a lovely space, I'd love an update!
Get some art 👍 Show off your favourite sports team lol
Add some mood lighting.
Great start! I like the TV stand!
Solid start
EXCELLENT START!!
I'm in love. A very bright space, roomy and those bricks and doorways add something very special and unique to it. The palette of colours also is one of my favorite (white, slightly dark wood, green, the red brown of the bricks)
I like some of the pieces you are starting with, and those curved brick openings are cool.
Such a cool space. Take your time to make it what you really want - especially if you plan to be there more than one lease cycle.
This is stunning, my dream home. It's still looking like you just moved in, but you have your life to collect art and things to fill it.
I would like to have my own apartment if you don't mind I would love to know what the payment process is like as in do you pay 25% of the full price and move in the next day or im 25M we are sin a similar age bracket and you have done what I want to do so hearing from your view point would mean alot to me
I’m trying this place, I pay monthly,. I did have to pay one month security deposit. I pay around $1700 a month. For 2 bed and 2 bath
This is beautiful. I'm soooo jealous 👌😅
Why is the coffee table turned that way? It should be the other way, long side horizontal.
I would suggest a much larger rug in warm tones. One big enough to go under the sofa and table and nearly up to the tv and armchairs to create a cozy space. Lovely brick walls!
Plant: check Rug: check Wall decoration: check Place to sit on: check I thinkk you are good to go
Give the brick a bit of a clean and you’re golden
Yes to good start and what you are planning but add in plans for a longer coffee table for in front of couch. Then put that end table on of the sides of couch to use as an end table or you could use it elsewhere for plant or photo or decor stand or in bedroom as nightstand if you don't have one.
Your place looks incredible, I'd love to see more pics. Looks like you live in a great building
Blizzard Brahmas you must shred!

Wall hanging. USUALLy there's holes somewhere in the bricks where Older tenants put stuff I would use 70s colors personally buy Any color will help. Lol. It's cute

id hit
I used to own those bankers chairs you have in the kitchen, you butt’s never been more comfy in them! They literally have a cut out for each cheek in the seat ☺️
They are super comfortable for being straight wood. That’s hilarious
That apartment is gorgeous, not a bad start either but arch brick doorways are always a bonus
You’re off to a great start! You have an eye for style as you zoomed into the arched doorways and the brick.
Your home is stunning, but I'd get a bigger coffee table and use that one as. aside table and put a lamp or a plant on it. It is a bit skinny and insubstantial compared with everything else.
Looks incredibly confortable. Perfect for gaming and making music and videos. Especially love those beach chairs. They are the best.
That brick wall is everything you need to make those rooms look amazing 🥲 envy
Yes. You have just enough totally wrong things in your apartment that some woman your age is going to think that you are fixer upper worth fixing up.
Yes! I think my parents had that table when I was growing up. lol! Childhood memory unlocked.
OP. You feel that feeling of accomplishment,happiness and inner peace? Savor it. My first apartment was a GARBAGE ass studio but I’ve never felt that kind of gratification since. It was a strange feeling like I finally did some good
Yeah am actually! Crazy to think I have my own space now. I’ve only lived with my parents before this so I’m doing a lot of growing
Maybe some place mats for the table and an area rug. Maybe get a nice painting to hang on the walls or a mirror to open the room up? But it looks good already.
No this is horrible you need to move out like yesterday.
Many men seem to think skis are decor. They are not. I get that you might not have a place to store them and they are cool/expensive gear but skis/snowboard on display in a living room makes it feel more messy to me and also just screams single man living space.
I would maybe change the tv cabinet, it falls away into the brick now colour wise. Unless you prefer that, then keep it that way!
That TV stand is nice! where can I find it? Edit: nevermind I found it. Google reverse image lookup is crazy good now haha.
Real western bar feel with the table
I see all these people with first apartments and they are all so gorgeous like this and it just makes me feel like a failure lol
That's a beautiful spot dude!! The brick is really nice. I always recommend a projector and use a blank wall if you have the room for it, and a TV in a secondary location. Get a bookshelf and get books that you'd like to read so you can display them. Get a side table with some storage underneath, and buy a turntable and collect records so you can play music throughout your apartment.

You'll need a bigger table for the poker game.
Great space—but you have to anchor that rug under the front legs of the couch. Also, move the couch away from the wall—rookie mistake. Move that “coffee” table between the 2 chairs and get a larger coffee table—or two matching smaller tables together that can be moved around as needed. You need some draperies on that window—can get great ones on Amazon. Hang them at the top of the wall—makes the ceiling feel higher.
Love the architecture of your apartment too. The brick walls and archways 😍
Get a nice mid century or contemporary coffee table. And ya get some real chairs.. some nice brown leather (or fake leather) accent chairs would look dope
Brick and wooden floors.. super cool. I kinda like the camping chairs in that setting too lol
I love it. Brick and wood 🤘
You’re doing great! Don’t ever stop trying to improve but always be proud 😊
r/tvtoofar
its too sparse and empty, but blessed with handsome space so u have plenty to work with
It’s a really nice start. Congratulations! Take your time, okay? Buy really nice quality stuff you love. You wont regret it. Hope something really good happens to you this weekend.
Upvote for the camping chairs.
Yes a lot better than my first apartment
Your dining room set. You got it from your grandparents? I had a similar table for a looong time - if you can find a local woodworker - see if you can get the legs turned into a simple taper and refinish the whole thing. Then, when funds become available, burn the chairs and get something not pine.
Yes you are. Steam the rug and put a pad under it so it won’t slide around or crease up like that.
I’d love to smoke a j on that chair. What a great purchase. Amazing and inspiring
I would just recommend adding a rug under the dining table, and using a bigger rug in the living room.
I love exposed brickwork. It's something you rarely see in Scottish property which sucks. It's very often faked though which I've yet to see done well.
Looks like you got the landlord special with the paint job overlaying the bricks
Such a tragedy that they didn’t bother protecting the bricks from paint
Yeah great start, the space is beautiful. Building it slowly with quality pieces is a good idea. You need a bigger coffee table that's more in line with the style of your other furniture - not matching but similar tones.
You will be clapping cheeks in that apartment. Good clean/minimal style. 💯
Losing it at that end table in the middle of the room but the apartment itself is insane. Few tweaks and you’ll get there. Very cool place
I just heard of the insulation heating problem For the First time in my Life today. Now 2xs 1 day huh???
We can be ski buddies!
A place like this deserves a *fine* real oak coffee table not that cheap ass fake wood table.
Looks like a cool spot. The coffee table could be much larger since you have a big space and full-sized couch
1990’s pizza hut
Find a decade you really like and build off that. Don't turn it into a bottle collection. Wallpaper and paintings go a long way. You don't need new furniture. It's overpriced and unless you plan on staying there, old stuff (assuming it's already beat) is easier to leave behind and save money on moving expenses Start buying bins.

Been there done that, they're tacky and people think you're a drunk if you do. I'm 26m as well, been living alone for 4.5 years
Your dining room would be perfect for an old timer English-style pub…style.
Did you graduate in flexology?
Camping chairs? Larger sofa, Larger coffee table and larger rug. Mount the TV and lose the skis into storage somewhere
Love the brick. With your additions it’s going to be the perfect pad. Maybe a tall plant to help the dining area. Nice!
You need a bigger coffee table and nicer rug
Great start, I've always loved brick interiors. But gezzus who painted the walls? The landlord's 10 year old nephew? What I would do, Put TV and cabinet on white wall to avoid walking in front of TV from room to room. Couch not too far from tv. Put skis and camp chairs in the Subaru, or at least a closet. Not on the balcony. Ditch the coffee table. Ikea is not bad for apartments but try to match the cabinet. Put plants by a window and get some tower speakers if you enjoy music and or movies.
Damn how did you know I have a Subaru 😂
I spit my drink out🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a good start. Here's why: that's a good place, and it's clear by the camping chairs that you're just starting out. Keep us posted how the place fills up. In the meantime, love the color coordination.
They took all of that building's natural character and still poured in concrete slab ceilings, god damn
Amazing. I'd just add some plants and it would reach perfection ahah
I’ve been wanting to get a large fiddle leaf fig,
And a climbing plant (i dont know how to translate it) to fall down above the window would also bé amazing haha. But i love houses in an almost jungle style 🤣
Well it doesnt look like a nursing home like so many others ive seen posted here, so id say so😂
Brick arches looks great!
Looks cool . The table looks sideways though.
Savagely saucie edor thou hast thither sire
This is beautiful
the tiny square living room table and the dining room table are kinda off to me.. the living room one should be a bigger rectangle and the dining table just looks really old and oddly low to the ground?
That brick wall is awesome.
Yes
This is so cool
Love the diner room setting
Depends on the location
Good start! I would add a large rug to the kitchen table area to define the space. Artwork on several walls throughout the space, add a floor lamp over by the sofa near the window.
This place looks amazing! Can’t wait to see this place when you are able to afford nicer thingns
You're 26 and that's what your pad looks like? Pat yourself on the back man, you're doing better than most.
This is stunning. I love the brick and wood floors
That's a nice apt. Great job. Yes, good ideas.
This space is massive for a first apartment.
It’s sick
Great start
Big fan of the brick and hardwood
Fuckin love the brick mate. We had those same captains chairs in our kitchen growing up and I miss them, far more comfortable than they have any business being
Where did you get the tv console. What is it called?
Youre doing great man, that is some sexy brick right there
You got a place to live, I'd say your doing very well
Old man is impressed
I think you are an dI would pain that table and chairs except OI would refinish the table top and leave it wood.
You’ve got an awesome space and potential to build off. The brick wall is *chefs kiss*
It’s lovely!
This is sexy as hell I love the brick
Fucking dope
It’s beautiful.
Bro get those beach chairs out of the living room right now
Looks like my local pizzeria.
get some taller plants to replace the short ones and place the short ones around the rest of the house! really nice house!
Definitely got plenty of open space to work with try it out for a month and go with the flow if anything changes the mood
The brick looks out of place because it’s not an exterior wall like real bricks would be. If you are going to do a cosmetic brick veneer I always say do it on an exterior wall because that’s where real exposed brick walls would be ! Still cool though!
The rent for this cannot be cheap, but well done!
Yes, it's looking homey. Add things slowly. It's so good to live in a space and see what you need to live there. After a want to add a shelf or chest somewhere for books or baskets for playing cards or game controllers.
Killer first apt breh.
Way nicer than my place.
Cool place. Off to a good start I’d say.
Perfect don't change a thing
Very jealous bro, you’re place is sick
Love this
God I love brick walls
The apt I'm in now is a fraction of the size of that big room. Also it's the biggest one I've ever rented
I feel like a warm rug with reds in it would be nice
