Describe Your Day-Cor

What's the vibe in your abode? English cottage? Cool modern? Shabby Chic? Suburban Classy, Country, Kistchy, Desperate Serial Killer, Bi-Polar Nut, Eclectic, Dungeon, SEXual Dungeon or Graduate Student?

I always imagine the living situations of everyone here...coz I'm nosey.

Plus, I'm FBI.

Of those choices, the closest one is Graduate Student.

We have a pretty spartan place. A few nice things, but most are beat up old IKEA style. Lots of kids toys lying about. Don't step on those LEGOs in bare feet. The house itself is nothing like the house I imagined myself in when I was a kid. Kind of run down without much character. But it's home and it keeps us warm and dry.

It looks a lot different in the pictures... it is much roomier in life, warmer colors. There are a lot of things from around the world and the US all over. A lot of antique furniture that I refinished back when I could. Some I left as it was.

Well you've seen the apartment, mostly, if you looked at my dodads...

My room?


Desk is covered in crap - empty tea bottles, cracker packets, soda cans....
Floor also covered in crap - towels, clothes, books, whatever
Guitar stand right next to my bed (the box next to the bed it is my nightstand)
Keyboard next to the desk, against the wall/window
Basses reside in one half of the closet
Clothes go in the other - it has shelves
I leave my bed to get food and go to school.

Walls covered in posters - Sex Pistols, Einstein, Bush Quotes, The Wall (heh).
Door:



It's a poster of Zimmy and a DSOTM banner.

Retro Crapo

Retro. All the crap I've been collecting for years.



I'm big into vintage HI-FI stuff. That's a Grundig Magestic Console.



I love the vintage kitchen appliances too. They all work.

Hmmm, nice stuff Pangloss62. Look at those items lined up in exact rows and at right angles. Very tidy

Ooohhhh... I need to take more close-up pics of my kitchen. Lots of retro in mine. Love the 50s in there. Though much of it is FL specific.
As for the rest, in the past we have owned mucho retro furniture... love it.
Major kudos to you and your place!

50's



This is another wall in my apartment. That's a 1954 Motorola TV. In the foreground is a Braun Hi-Fi console.

I appreciate your aprreciation. And I do arrange those things in rows like that. I think there must be a little gay interior decorator in me.

Is crap laying everywhere, wallpaper ripped off, belongings in boxes and house partially painted considered decor?

Yes, that would be a post-Griff design.

In that case I think I have an Elspodian post-griff vibe happening. (My wife is after me to buy furniture that, in her words, doesn't look like it's from a college dorm.)
