i like...can never go wrong with wood floors...also the bare walls and natural light make it look larger...

the show is usually staged from what I read. Most of these people have already chosen the home they want or have already closed on the home.

Im going to clean the room and take actual pictures to show the whole room. The room is not small at all. its actually fits about 6 people in there comfortable. Maybe I was premature and should have taken better pics lol my bad, but I would love some input when I do.

Do y'all have extra pillows on your bed or is that more of a woman thing?
I love looking through restoration hardware but can't afford anything in that place lol

Went furniture hunting today...
Fell in love with a bedroom set at Bob's Furniture. I've never been in there and found this 8 piece Bedroom set for $1,599. For that price and the design, I was really blown away. It felt good, looked even better.
-------------------------
I went to Macys Furniture and they wanted $2,700 for 3 piece bedroom set.
Also Ashley's Furniture is the worst customer service place I've been to
--------------------------
With the price of that, I feel like I can spend a little more on the couch...so I went to La-Z-Boy and saw this amazing grey sectional that was a lot more than I originally set out to spend, but it was unbelievable comfortable. $3,090 but for something is so essential I find it hard to skimp.

Good ****, Venom. Congrats on getting that closing date set, too. I used to be a Realtor, so I know all about the struggles homeowners face throughout the closing process. So much stress, but so worth it once you get a place you can actually call your own.
As for your paint question, I'm a bit biased because my dad works for them, but I would go with Benjamin Moore paint. A little bit more expensive, but it covers area really well and won't take as many coats to get a solid look. (I've done a few side jobs with my dad using different brands, and you could definitely tell a difference.) I'm not sure about the perception of the brand up there in the NYC area (they market it a hell of a lot more than they do down here in Texas), but it's good stuff. They also have some really nice "custom" colors in collaboration with Pottery Barn.

As others have said, BM is money. It's very good paint (thick and equal coverage).

Hey guys can you help me figure out what to put in my mancave/office? It's kind of blan. Are there any dope colors that could go, pictures, book shelves? Something lol.[/IMG]
It's a small space so try and reclaim as much of that back as possible. Wall mount that TV and all your A/V equipment. And I know you probably love those recliners but there's a company called love sac that makes piece by piece sofas that can be rearranged as well as the covers of the pieces. That allows you to be more flexible with your space.

Went to sleepys yesterday to look at mattresses...
best one I tried was the iCOMFORT "Brilliant" EFX for $2199.
I feel like you really can't skimp on a mattress and Sleepys isn't going to sell me a crappy one. Comes with 25 yr warranty and it's really amazing. Plus the pillows are heaven.
