Hmm you might be in the same building as a friend of mine, although he's moving to NYC at the end of the month. Is that in the arena district? Does the first floor have standard one bedrooms? Or is the whole building lofts?

Definitely can squeeze a TV and computer/desk in a tiny room. Your TV would probably have to go on your dresser. I have a computer and desk and my TV sitting on my dresser. There is no room for chairs other than my computer chair, however. My room is probably about 12'x10'.

Speaking of art, saw this in an old OOT thread:

https://www.dna11.com/images-gallery

Can get your DNA into a painting. Its near 700$ for the big one(although 25% off today, or so it says only today), so I will probably wait a little, but think it would be sick.

Tony: Like the map, not a fan of the other two.

Here is some of the art I have up in my place. The first 2 are actually pretty big, probably about 4 feet long and 3 feet wide.

Yeah they are all framed, those images are just ones I googled of them not the actual ones hanging up in my place.

The 2 big ones are custom framed, which can be very expensive as I found out. However, when done right can actually add a ton to the picture or art whatever it is..

They are also high quality graphic prints, not paintings.

In a vacuum I like that but you definitely have to have a certain style for it to fit

OK finally getting settled in.

Need some ideas for what to put over the fireplace. Gotta get some kind of table for the couches too. Whole place is super modern, apologies for the **** pictures as its late and I'm lazy.

Living space:

TV is parallel from the Paris picture.

Here's a shot of the kitchen table, bar, and kitchen:

And some ****ty bedroom pics... Light glare ftl :

Might try to find some smaller movie posters to put with the rocky one.

Living room looks great, as does the bar area (with the partially open kitchen). Really like that, and looks like you have a bunch of decent barware already.

Not a huge fan of the cowboys thing and the movie posters (think that's kinda lol), but that's a personal preference thing. Place looks awesome overall.

So I have an unfinished basement where people are drinking/partying/etc. The space is set up pretty nicely with furniture. Anyway, I'd like some ideas for what to put up on the walls. The space is pretty much only used at night, so also maybe some lighting ideas as well. We have some colored rope lights hung up in one section right now, but I'm sure there is some cool lighting that can be incorporated as well.

The obvious answer is some neon bar lights/sign

I kinda do like the dartboard idea. Seems like there are decent ones for $50. Anyway, Google was mostly turning up ridiculous ideas on how to finish out a basement or semi-finish and pay thousands of dollars. Guess I'll keep searching, but basically I need something cool for the wall when people walk down the stairs instead of just looking right at a concrete wall.

I've done a chalkboard type thing in two places. Always been a huge hit.
