superliving: your room / closet / house / apartment

[stfuken]

Lot's of great apartments but I need some ideas for house setups, as I'm helping my parents refurnish the house. If you got a house or if you live with the parents, i wanna see those living rooms!

This is the only photo I've got now of my parents' living room. Not terribly useful, is it....

edit: sorry, something was weird, picture wasn't showing....

[sircheesecake]

Maybe you could post the room and we give you ideas?

here's my place. it's teeny tiny, less than 500 sq. ft. for 2 people, but we make it work just fine. it's a bit more homey than a lot of others here, while i love modern aesthetics i don't really like decorating with them

walking in the place, living room and kitchen. theres no overhead lighting so we use christmas lights for softer, more relaxing light. we keep bottles that visitors finish while they're here, a decent collection for a little over a year.

living room from the kitchen (thats our front door)

walking into my room:

from sitting on my bed, my desk and stuff. printer and scanner are under the desk, that's where i make wallets and everything:

i think since my room is so small (9x9ft) it looks very cluttered, but it's pretty neat and tidy. oh, i have a pretty big closet that is the door on the right as you walk into my room, so thats where all my clothing is

its like you purposely made your home look like crap.

^ what the fuck do you know bitch. neg

[corter]

its like you purposely made your home look like crap.

i don't think it looks like crap. i think it's filled with things we've made, found, use and love. I think I enjoy living around things that remind me of the people I can't see every day, and of all the wonderful memories I have. I think it looks like it's lived in and used and cared for...but not babied (it is a rental after all).

crap...not so much. what does your place look like?

[snafu]

i think the lighting and bottes look good

slightly more cluttered than i would have but its hard in a small place (tell me about it)

if it was my place i would get a tone on tone white thing going on margiela esq

take labels and caps off the bottles wash them out

paint some stuff off white, furniture ect maybe not have soo much stuff about or open to view, it would make the place seem bigger

but each to their own if you like it and reflects you as a person its cool

Living room about 18 months ago. Will update soon.

[poopie boy]

my room is 13 by 9.

I have an upright piano, 2 guitars, a marshal jcm800lead and a 1960 4x12 cab, a desk, a 46 inch flat screen tv and a queen size bed.

I have no room to even stand in my room. what can I do if I want to add drums?

will post pics soon.

[Guest doubletap]

nice pic & lighting Bijan.

[Bijan]

Thanks doubletap. I'm kind of addicted to 50's and 60's lighting. I have lots, and Id have more if I had more room.

[Guest]

fixed for you.

[poopie boy]

While we're in this thread, does anyone know where I can buy lightbulbs that are bright fucking white. I'm tired of my room looking all yellowish, its horrible especially for picture taking. I usually have to go outside and take pictures of things I need to sell outside, which means I can only take pictures during the day (if its sunny). Anyone know what kind of lightbulbs look as close to sun light as possible?

[A-N-B]

Thats better

Its wider than in appears on the photos

[TheBrokeDJ]

^is that all one room?

[A-N-B]

yeah

top shots from the door, bottom is from the bed

[Ruwkus]

I like this. did you buy the set up or build yourself? how do you get to ya shoes?

better pick of hanging systm/room divider not very tidy at the min,will do a pic monday when we turn flat into photo studio aswell

Still a long way to go, but cleaned up for a friend who wanted to use my space for a short film.

Try these?

[Boston.]

Try these?

Don't waste money - just take a trip to the hardware store and instead of incandescent lightbulbs (which are being phased out anyway) buy the brightest (measured by lumens on the box not watts) CFL or compact fluorescent lightbulb

[Yardsale]

Kane I love that massive chair next to the bed, your place is pretty sweet.

[photo]

Kane nice place, where you living?

I live in Gastown in Vancouver. The building I'm in is a warehouse conversion that's originally a hundred years old.

Gastown's an interesting place to live though. IE, Stussy and Goodfoot are all less than a block away from me, plus it's always entertaining to have the meth'd up crazies yelling as they drag their shopping carts down the street at 4 in the morning.
