superliving: your room / closet / house / apartment

[thomas_highstreet]

yeah but you could just nail/screw in an extra nogin and get the placement anywhere you want... probably not etiquette but im sure we've done it before.

[bruised]

i guess so. more work i didnt want to do. i didnt have a plan for the switches.

[thomas_highstreet]

i kinda like it the way you did it anyway, looks more interesting/works better with the room

[bruised]

Thanks. Also what you don't see is another double light switch next to the couch just outside the frame on the left. One of em turns on the same light as one of the newly moved switches on the murked out wall. So it's good that they are furthest away from each other as possible. don't one too many light switches close to each other that work the same light.

Picked up this George Nelson bench a while back. This is just a temporary placement. My place is a mess right now.

New credenza. Waiting for wall to dry. It's gonna sit in front of that whack ass fake fire place. shit is HEAVY

Sick credenza. Where did you get it?

[bruised]

found at a russian dudes moving sale. not sure what it is. i want to chop the legs down a bit. solid wood but laminated. heavy!

[jyoni]

painted some walls and finished some dry wall work. need some wall art bad.

painted the whole stair well black too.

I can't quite get a depth perspective on the 45-degree bump on the ceiling. Does it follow the same line through into the hallway? If so, I was thinking it might look nice to carry the black strip through the hall. Just build down a falsie to match that beam/header detail.

[bruised]

Yes the hall way is the same level and I would have to match the beam with a false piece. Not a bad idea. But I like the monolithic look of just that section being black. When I get around to more paint it will be mostly a dull light grey with Mondrian accents.

Right where the kitchen starts there is another minor face I could accent with a color. Most Likly a basic yellow.

[jyoni]

The black does look good as it sits. It would be a pain in the ass to dive into more corner beading etc. You might be able to approximate the drop with solid wood, say a perfectly clear length of 2x8. Buzz off one of the edges, rip to width, then sand and prepaint it. Temp it up, grab a beer, and look at it.

After years of living with roommates, gf and I decided to get our own place. It's tiny (only a one bed), but it fits us perfectly. Waiting on 5 pieces of art to come back from the framers, walls are way too bare right now. It's nothing amazing but I'm really happy with it.

Now focusing on getting the bedroom together now that the living room is almost finished (still needs a proper bookshelf).

Shawn,

If you sell that Barcelona table, it will be to me.

[bruised]

[sawn-off chef]

Finally got to hang my Jere Raindrops Sculpture, took fucking long enough.

[evisu 2000]

no couch synergy bro

[sawn-off chef]

If anything it's the chair thats off, but I haven't had the time to find someone that'll make me a slipcover for it.

[soundune]

bit of a mess at the moment...

[jdemotion]

damn, nice place dude.

[soundune]

damn, nice place dude.

thanks, man! i've had to move around a lot since being off on my own and this is, in many ways, my fav spot so far. thanks, again.

[redX]

that is very nice pad, i like how you utilized the limited space. that in the wall bookshelf is pretty cool too

[joey_formal]

the in wall bookshelf is amazing.

[kvc06]

Cool place, I'd get a matching shell chair instead of that wooden one

[redX]

i really don't understand all the eames chairs hype - sure they're beautiful but they are some of the most uncomfortable chairs i've ever sat in

[Desi]

the in wall bookshelf is amazing.

yes that arc built in shelf is cool shit.

i am scared of house fires now. I have to tone down my property.

[kvc06]

i really don't understand all the eames chairs hype - sure they're beautiful but they are some of the most uncomfortable chairs i've ever sat in

mine are pretty comfy, but I guess it could be because they're padded. My armchair one is comfy without any padding though

[kvc06]

pics of my two other chairs:

Workspace / desk

Living room:

I'll post a full shot of my bedroom once all my art is up, it's my favorite room in the place.

[redX]

^you find them comfy probably because you're relatively short. i mean i sat in all variations of the chair and none of them made me want to keep sitting. even the fabled loungeing chair or whatever it's called is really uncomfortable, the cushions were hard and you can't even tilt the chair (for a lack of better word) the angle the back part is at is really awkward and made my neck ache

you need to put some kind of carpet under your desk chair or your floor will be ruined really fast
