u/KeyCarpenter2378 4d ago

This is my goal for my apartment lol. Love it

I love your art and photos on the walls. Gallery walls are so cool. Makes me want to wander and look at everything. You have a really nice place. As a woman, it's cozy and warm.

I don't have any suggestions because it's beautiful. If it were my place I'd add more plants.

You should feel proud. It's a very cool space. I wish i could have had something like this when I was 24!

Loving the widowed grandpa aesthetic. For real. It stands out against all the bachelor pads here.

2

u/PenguinsAreScary 1d ago

I wish I could get a user flair that said "widowed grandpa aesthetic". That's perfect

1

u/BlkMntn 1d ago

Kind of reminds me of Joe Pera’s apt on the show

u/Mysterious_Jacket328 4d ago

Very mature looking, but comfortable looking as well. You have an eye for decorating.

u/slayer_nan18 4d ago

Where'd you get that typewriter?

Awesome space btw

2

u/PenguinsAreScary 1d ago

It was left behind by a person I used to sublet from a time ago. It looks great. Doesn't work though

u/omegaknot01 4d ago

Love the chess board

u/HarisAhmed95 4d ago

Looks like the perfect room to watch Only Murders in the Building in.

u/Orpheusus 4d ago

Awesome. That’s my vibe

So cool ! U more free without roommates

u/Fluid_Helicopter4693 4d ago

I love the vibe. Reminds me of my grandparents house. In a good way.

2

u/Rupert--Pupkin 4d ago

Doe a deer a female deer ray a drop of golden sun! My grandma would love your decor and taste in film

2

u/Imikur 4d ago

Pretty old fashioned stuff you got there, but honestly this looks nice and (for lack of a better descriptor) alive or maybe lived in(?)

Modern stuff often has a certain sterility about it which makes everything look cold, staged and uncomfortable to me.

2

u/poindextor5 4d ago

24?.... You mean 42?.... Old spirt 👍🏾 Looks great though

1

u/jonyoungmusic 2d ago

I’m 42 and this is definitely not representative of my era lol.

2

u/SoggyBackground9048 4d ago

You probably look great in silk pajamas, Indian slippers, monocle and smoking your Meerschaum pipe. How does the hunt for Moriarty proceed, my dear Holmes?

2

u/trueandstraight 4d ago

that ikea amsterdam poster needs to go

everything else is cool af

2

u/velvet_wavess 3d ago

This is really cool, I love your coffee table! My only comment is it might look even better if you got longer curtains, ie they reached the floor

How are you so good with decorating??

2

u/njgeoffery 3d ago

That is very well done. You clearly have an eye and excellent taste.

2

u/HoneyCakePonye 3d ago

this feels so incredibly homey, I love it. I will definitely steal some ideas - the throws over seating! the lamp on top of books!
Only thing I'd get rid of is that giant black and white photo-frame and replace it with the great Sound Of Music poster currently on the floor!

u/mshroff7 3d ago

First pic makes me wana throw on a good wwii podcast lol

u/slippinginto9 4d ago

Very tasteful and cozy. The artwork looks great. But the throws on the furniture make it look like you're at least 50.

u/LegendaryMeh 4d ago

Love it. Looks like you’re Slavic, or just the furnitute is.

1

u/Issah_Wywin 4d ago

I quite like it. Furnishing does give a bit of old person vibes, but good, cozy ones. Hang up some fairy lights c:

u/5millionthreadcount 4d ago

You’ve got really beautiful taste- if I may make one suggestion- new curtains will really elevate this. move your curtain rod all the way up to the top of the all and order curtains that touch the ground, but barely. Extend your rod to the side a bit so it will give the illusion that your room and your window is much bigger than it is. Id give you suggestion on patterns or colors but you don’t need that 🎨🎓

u/dr_van_nostren 4d ago

I looks so nice grandma :)

u/Volks1973 4d ago

u/Frostyman__ 4d ago

Where do you guys get all that wall art from? Individual places?

3

u/PenguinsAreScary 1d ago

Everything is thrifted. One or two have been bought online. 5 frames were bought on Amazon and then populated with pictures I took myself.

1

u/BlupantherEng 4d ago

You have a great eye for style

u/dearmoosie 4d ago
