Living Quarters Pictures
 

This thread isn't going to just be for me. If any of you would like to post pictures of your place, please feel free.

Here are a few pictures of the apartment so far. PLEASE excuse the mess, as I'm not done fixing it up yet.

I'm getting a fountain that emits a soothing fog this week, so I will post more pictures when I get it. It's very cool, but I have to wait til they get the damn thing in.

Oh, btw.

These aren't the best pics, but you'll get the idea. And I'm not posting a picture of my room yet as it is such a mess. ;)

Fricking cool! I hope my apartment looks that cool when I move out! May many grace your doorstep, and may many of them return again as friends and lovers.

That can't be your first apartment... where's the milk crates? Where's the stop sign table? Where's the plywood tv stand? Your first place is not supposed to have leather in it. Things are not supposed to match. Did you not attend "Intro to basic first time living" at school?

Hell, we still don't have anything leather in our house except for a pair of tight leather pants that make my balls hurt.

Oh my! That's your first appartment?!

Man, in my first appartment I had all inflatable furniture (I wish I could say that's an exageration or a joke but it's not)

Great taste. I particulary fancy your shower curtain... nice!

Heh, I've been collecting furniture for this apartment for over a year.

The White Leather Chair: Free (GeminiKillers roomie was just gonna throw it out!)
The Futon: $150 (Bought it from my aunt, I just had to buy a black slip-cover for it)
The Desk and the Nightstand which are in my room were from my room in my house.
The Black and Silver Lava Lamp: $25 (from Spencers)
The Black and White kitchen ware and all the bathroom accessories were my Christmas gifts.
The Posters (some of which aren't hung yet) I've also been collecting for a while.

All that preparing paid off. I had the color scheme planned when I started collecting the furniture. I invested a decent amount of money in the rest and I'm very proud to say the least of how it turned out. Thanks guys.

Now all of you post you're pictures.

Xng, I love the stereo over the microwave. That's badass. Who has the top bunk?

Bah! Nevermind. Double post.

Kickass pad. I haven't lived in a place that looked that good since I was about eight, and I moved out of my mom's the first time almost seven years ago. You have excellent taste, I especially like the framed posters. Great job. also, you don't have to apologize for a mess that isn't there, if it were any better and there were still an apology we might think you were one of those OCD-ing clean freaks who pick the fuzz out of new carpets, and re-paint the trim on the bottom of the wall after the vacuum cleaner hose hits it....... ( no offense intended to anyone suffering from OCD, having dealt with it myself, it sucks. Also, about the trim painting thing, I once knew someone who actually did that.)

*falls out of chair laughing*

LOL, Alright, point taken. ;)

Thanks for the compliment emeraldlonewoulf.

Although my room is a mess. So I need to work on that and I'll post pics of it clean after I get that badass fountain.

You are welcome, sir. would love to see the fountain.

Clean freaks, unite!

Sweet! The tiger and the pulp fiction poster are cool. And I love the bathroom towels and shower curtain.

Nice job.

I just love the fact that you have a box of Kleenex on your end table. It shows sensitivity I think.

Wait a minute... or... could it be?...that maybe the box is there to clean up after... err.. lonely nights... spent on the couch next to a bottle of lotion? Nooo... couldn't be.. ;)

I just realized there is a Hello Kitty pillow in XNG's dorm!

And with this post I am now AE! :D or :(?

LOL, thanks. No, I'm afraid it would take a lot more than some flimsy kleenex to clean after my mess. :D

Did anyone catch the metaphor from the three pictures? Notice where they are in relation to the characters. ;)

Thanks for all of the comments guys, but you can all post your own pictures too. :)

Amazing place Korova, I'll post pics of mine as soon as I move in..

I love you for having Hello Kitty in your room.

:)

True! Let's do Gothic makeover of Xng's dorm... with the Hello Kitty RIGHT in the middle of the darkness! :D

Thanks Sanctus, please do. Where and when are you moving?

Just northwest of my current location and into an actual mortgaged, possible equity building, townhome of my very own!! I should be all done with the purchase in about 45 days (I hope) so it will take me alittle bit to get the place respectable. At the moment the walls are a dingy hunter brown, covered in animal photos and the whole place reeks of redneck bachlor pad but with a little work I'll turn it around.

Townhome?! Congratulations! That should be fun.

Please post pictures when you get the chance. I'd love to see it.

I finally got the fountain, and here are the pics. I'm extremely happy with the apartment, as well as very proud.

The fountain uses a device that emits an ultrasonic frequency thus making the water into a cooling mist. It is also lit by blue and red LED's.

Here are the pictures:

And this last one is a picture of me toasting all of you with my glass of sour mash and coke. Thank you all for your support.

*cough*bump

*hands you a tissue*

:p

*blushes* heh... oops?

Just messing with ya..

Mr. Pimpin' Pad..

Manimal and I have decided that we WISH our first apartment had looked that fucking nice..

We can't decide whether to give you a Nurple or Adopt you..

:D

You could come live here...

...on one stipulation... that you bring another woman. :D j/k

I only wish the people that came to visit would STOP LEAVING MESSES!! I'm going to give them all a word tomorrow.

Korova, your making me antsy to move...

P.S. That fountain is perfect, nice choice!

Thanks. It cost about $75 with tax, so it was quite an investment.

And I've also moved from burning incense to burning oils. It spreads through the apartment much better and doesn't smell like burnt wood.

I really want to see your townhouse when you move in Sanctus. Is it in a gated apartment complex? (I just asked because most of the ones around here are)

No.. where I live a gated community is unnessecary. The city is just a few miles shy of McCoy country.... but the breathing room is incredible (as far as having fewer neighbors then in a city edged suburb) plus the price was perfect.

Good job, Korova!

I still don't even have a couch.

I love your apartment, Korova! Very classy.

X, Your dorm loks interesting. If I would probably spend hours looking at all the stuffon the walls and hanging from the bed. I think I'm gonna take pictures of my room... my brother came home to help us paint my room and the living room this summer.

I chose the colors. I don't think you'd realize it if I hadn't told you :p

Korova, do you need a roommate? *crosses fingers* You have an amazing apartment.. wow!

Korova, it kinda looks like the Panther poster is going to attack the Pulp Fiction poster before they can 'shoot' the Tiger.

Yes?

I would post pictures of my living quarters...but it's a dorm, and a disgusting old one at that. I can't control the mess because my roommate leaves her dresser open and her underwear lying around ....EEKS! But next year I'll have my own double room in an apartment complex...with 3 boys....and we'll be sharing a living room and kitchen, so next year I promise pics of the pimped out (only girl's spot in the whole apartment) room.

Isn't Xnguela your roomate?

Or did I misunderstand?

Nope, we just spend a lot (pretty much all) of our free time together. I share a room with a friend from high school.

Right. What she said.

I share a room with my two younger brothers (mostly so that I can keep an eye on them, apparently). I don't mind much-- the room is massive and I have some semblance of privacy provided by a sectional bookcase. If all goes well, I'll be adding another bookcase soon.

Here ya go. The room continues far beyond the bookcase and behind me when I took the pictures.

You can see my jazz hat hanging on a chair in one of these pics, and perhaps you can see the spiked cuff that I keep on my bedside lamp for some reason. The four dark framed pictures are all prints of H.R. Giger pieces. Along the same wall, past the mirror, is a huge collection of mounted insects (and one bat) from Bolivia. On the wall past the far side of my bed is a big silver cross from Spain or Mexico, I disremember which. I'm agnostic, but it is quite beautiful and properly Gothic. Above the bed is a framed poster by the surrealist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The oval blobs are whales swimming in front of dozens of reflective windows, as if they were flying through a city. At the bottom it says "Save the Whales." It was my parents', and is quite awesome.

Yes, that is a wooden frog dangling its feet from the bookcase. There's a cat a few feet further along, and fish on top.

Circle V, we have the same laptop! :D
It's cool that you can share a room. I personally cannot do it, it's hard to sleep when someone else is doing "their thing". :D

It's funny that the laptop is in all three pictures, even though one of them doesn't even include the bed upon which it rests.

I usually can't share a room, but I haven't had any trouble yet.

Circle, that is the cleanest room I have ever seen. Too bad I can't keep mine neater. You do house calls?:D

And I personally hate sharing a room, but my sister sucks. Hopefully she'll grow out of it.

That's funny and ironic. Perhaps I will take a picture of my laptop on my bed and we can be buddies! :D

The only things in the room that I use are the computer, closet, and bed. That's why it's so clean.

I also have the same laptop. YAY!

Triplets!!

I would share pictures of my apartment, but I'm paranoid about things like that. I did share my christmas deco's, but if you look, you can't really see anything descriptive in them.

Eveyone who HAS shared their photos, you're places look really groovy! Who knows. Maybe some day I'll show them for one day, then take them down.
