Updates on my place. Pretty much done making big furniture purchases. All that's left is small little things for decoration and style. Suggestions?
Keep in mind that they're cold as %!$+ and you'll lose a lot of heat in food/plates you put down on it. They look cool as hell but they're a real pain to install and expensive if you want it custom. There are some nice alternatives out there though.Originally Posted by jschue
Been lurking in the thread but am finally able to post up my pad. I just bought my first house and am mostly moved in. I still have to buy a kitchen table and decorate my bedrooms and 1 more bathroom. 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1450 sq ft. I bought pre-construction so I got to pick all materials and got a killer deal through a local builder. Only regrets were I should have sprung for diagonal laid tile and granite counter tops. I wanted to keep the mortgage number low so I'm doing that stuff in about a year or two. You big city cats don't even want to know what I paid. Could have bought a lot more house but honestly I don't know what I would do with more square footage since I'm single. And the wall color is silver, I don't why they're looking sea foam green...Pics:

IF you plan to re-sell, invest. Everyone and they grandmas want granite
What kinda of shops/site are good for custom dressers in your opinion?Originally Posted by DanzInRealLife
Depends how much you want to spend. If you've got the money, consider getting something custom built.Originally Posted by Mez 0ne
My concern are dressers. I swear I buy dressers for my clothing and they could never fully support any kind of weight, the bottom would become loose or just fall off.
I figure I would ask for any good designer brands, tired of getting that Ikea junk.
This house I'm cost managing earthquake repair work for at the moment has a dressing room with the most insane joinery in it. All custom made, I want to say mahogany but it could be something with a veneer on it, floor to ceiling mirrors, one piece even has a granite bench top. The client's are made though.
But it's a good idea to consider, it doesn't have to be made out of the most expensive material you can buy.
Nice! I really like the flat lines of the base of the couch with the rounded cushions & pillows. Sucks you had to pay a ton more than the other one you posted, but a couch is one of the purchases that you just throw down on once and have for awhile anyways. Can't skimp and regret it long-term.Originally Posted by 4wrestling
I posted the mess I went through with the other coffee table I was trying to order. Well, I found an almost identical style. Only thing is, it's twice the price (so I'm hoping much better quality). I just ordered.
My couch and chairs are due to arrive in late August, so I will share pictures of my new formal living room once everything arrives.
I'm not from the States so I can't offer any shops, but look for a company that make custom kitchens and staircases, or even do shop fitouts. Here in New Zealand most joinery company's will make them.Originally Posted by Mez 0ne

Only thing I would change is the green shag rug, to a darker color.Originally Posted by quik1987
Bro... You can't be calling that an apartment. That's just insulting. Jail cells are bigger than that. How are you supposed to smash on that bed?!Originally Posted by JPioneer
