[Young Bro]

living room - the cheapest sofa they had at ikea (first thing im gonna upgrade when i have money), usm haller 125x75 desk as a dining table, hand me down chairs and side tables

[lmk1995]

this is probably my favorite thread on sufu right now.

i'll be moving into a house at the beginning of this summer and need to get my furniture game proper. I'll probably just end up at ikea, haha.

I'm into these, but they might not be your style: http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1669146

Just went through something similar, got tired of the flexible laundry basket overflowing.

I miss my old crib. Moved out in februry to try home ownership/investment and it turned out to be a disaster.

I may be moving into a loft style apartment (thats a bit bigger then my old studio but in a nicer area and cheaper rent) may 1st. Any ideas on how to mount a flat screen TV to cement wall?

No testosterone in that place.

Use a masonry bit, drill some holes, pound in some plastic anchors? I'd think it's similar to mounting in a non-wood framed gyp wall, where you don't have an actual stud to shoot for.

This is of course assuming it's a solid conc. wall and not just some cement plaster, etc-

[TheBrokeDJ]

thanks brohams.

koven, your old crib was swag to the maximum

I built the desk myself. It's 15" from the wall. 20" would have been much more comfortable.

Oh that's you? I remember seeing your place on Apartment Therapy a few months ago. Really like the salvaged wood dining table.

You probably want an sds hammer dill at the least, avoids chipping as much as possible. I would also recommend the steel expanding concrete anchors, if you use the straight entry plastic anchors you'll develop wiggle for sure, they just don't get it done on concrete/cement. Alternatively, for more noise you could shoot some Hilti anchors on, but most people aren't going to have that equipment..

Moving soon, excited to set up the new space. I'll be sure to have some pics. Most recent purchase is a Bertoia Diamond chair, which is currently having a cover made.

I also got a free Eames shell from school

Sound advice if the OP wants to buy/rent a new drill or if the TV is fairly large, though I'd doubt the plastic anchors would fare that bad, assuming the TV is on a fixed mount-

pics from last year.

[pavlovs bell]

dj.... that credenza is insane. where did you find that?

[TheBrokeDJ]

some artist in chinatown. I think it's from the 70s. I only paid $200 for it. This is what it looks like open:

[seven.homme]

a friend just moved in with us, so I moved my work place to the dining area and using our dining table (that we rarely use for dining anyway) as my working table. keeping the bench on one side, and use the other one to place stuff.

and just got an eames chair ..

[chaco weirdo]

i understand this is the sufu cribs thread but does anyone have tools for finding a place to rent? i've been using padmapper.com for los angeles but if anyone has any tips i'd be most gracious.

[mr.invincible]

craigslists? where are you trying to live?

[chaco weirdo]

yeah padmapper takes craiglist info and puts it in google maps so it's pretty useful. i'm moving with a friend and we've considered eagle rock, silverlake and echo park based on suggestions and some research.

[limbo]

Damn, that's so useful. Would have helped when I was trying to go through all those CL links last year.

[mmfood]

Got this custom-made leather chair off craigslist.
