bumfuck southern california lol

Studio in SF. Shitty black ikea blinds to keep out the sun.

>>8228500
southwest has a lot of great mid century homes. I like what your parents have done.

Studio in SF. Small and fucking expensive.

Dat Eames chair. Color me jelly.

>>8228510
its pretty cool, when i visit home ill take more pics for next time we have one of these home design threads

my dad is super into this style of home design and has tons of zines and shit on it. The house was built in the 60s and had a really shit remodel done on it before we moved in, where the fireplace is used to be covered up and a wall straight down the line separating living room and dining room/kitchen, we ended up tearing the whole thing down and making the entire house really open. It's a neat feeling not having walls separate rooms since that's most homes I've ever lived in

>>8228480
This would look a lot cleaner if you had hired a contractor to recess the television into the drywall or pull the wall out to frame it. would get rid of the wire too.

>>8228516
tell me about it man. i live with 4 other people in a 2 bedroom and my share of rent could get me a studio in any decently priced place of the country

>>8228529
shits comfy B)

>>8228516
What's that gear on the right there that looks like you stole from a 70s computer lab?

>>8228516
Why do you have an oscilloscope

Anyone got the picture of a panoramic window setup overlooking a skyline with a mattress as the single piece of furniture?

>>8228516
At least you live in SF. I live in a pretty boring and cold city in a 18m2 for 600 euros/month.
Feels bad.

>Mah desk two/three years ago.

>>8229356
that's a lot of plants. you're not afraid it'll attract insects and create mold?

>>8229360
if it does i will replace them
The ones on top are just 2euro cat grass

>>8229360

>>8229360
Who told you plants create mold

>>8229211
i recognize this battlestation

I'm starting not to like this area of my apartment, too matchy matchy plus it's red and black. idk, I want something more comfy so I'll probably change everything in this room

>>8229359

Again, turn that Tizio the right way round.

>>8228538
Recessed into the wall is a shitty option for any TV that isn't gigantic, better to just run the cord through the drywall.

Or if he doesn't want to dig into the wall, they make covers for just this sort of thing.

>>8228670

An oscilloscope and what looks like a power supply of some sort.

>>8229665

You do realize that books are good for you, right?

>>8229674
I love to read, but I own an e-reader so I can't really convince myself to own hard copies of any non-textbooks, and those I only keep because it's not comfortable flipping back and forth between pages on a reader.

You are the cancer that's killing this generation. I have an ex girlfriend who fell in love with me because I was the only other person her age she'd met with a full bookshelf. And neither of us are intellectual or literary types.

>>8229692
liking something for its looks is enough of a reason to me

>You are the cancer that's killing this generation.
That's harsh. Why should I honestly own a full library? It sounds like your only reasoning is to impress others with the collection, regardless of however much you actually sit down to read.

The literature is above what it's printed on.

Artemide Tizio, tfw I have one as well, baby's first design lamp.

Plants get watered and stand in the sun.
Heat + high level of humidity in a biological mass like potting compost = mold

>>8229359

watcha visualizin' there bud?

>>8229711

He, not denying it, long live design firms and their idiotic tendency to completly throw out their entire interior every few years to stay 'fresh'.

I'm pretty happy with it but would never pay retail for it. (nor could right now) besides, the Cavour desk is the one I really want. This setup just came on my path.

>>8229705

I'll agree that a ebooks are better than no books at all, but actually holding it in your hand and flipping the pages while you're reading is such a better experience.

>>8229755
>but actually holding it in your hand and flipping the pages while you're reading is such a better experience.

Not for me. I dislike the weight, I regularly read outside so when it's breezy the pages need to be held down, they take up a lot of space that could be better occupied, and I can read in virtually any position comfortably like laying on my back.

I don't feel the experience is any different. We're still receiving the same content. Unless you're some kind of faggot who cares about what people think of him while he's reading, that's just inexcusable.

water + sunlight is what keeps a plant alive you dingus
living organisms dont just rot and produce mould for no reason
this is shit you learn in primary/elementary school
you may not be mentally qualified to be using the internet please leave

>>8229360
you are stupid.

>>8229796
>water + sunlight is what keeps a plant alive you dingus
yeah right I didnt deny that.
>living organisms dont just rot and produce mould for no reason
mold/fungus develops in the SOIL your plants grow in, because it is moist/humid ground and since your room probably has an average temperature of around 25 C° its warm enough for mold to develop. Have you ever been to a forrest in fall and spring? Where do you think all the leaves go?

>>8229818

in 1 gram of soil there are well over a million micro-organisms.

Hell, 3-4 pounds of your bodyweight is bacteria including potentially pathogenic ones.

If you are worrying about a bit of soil, in such manner then you might as well live in a plastic bubble.

>>8229755
I bet you genuinely believe vinyl sounds better than digital as well

>>8229665
yea I'll probably get rid of the star wars stuff, except I'm not sure if I can put away that lightsaber. I actually like collecting books and reading so those won't go away, and yea I can't get rid of the carpeting because I live in an apartment that doesn't let you do that, but once I get my own house after this I'll probably do that.

>>8229356

w2c bedframe

>>8229969
not that guy, but I agree on the superiority of actual books. Holding them and physically seeing your progress just makes it more substantial. Also, just having books you like around is cool.
It's just my preference though, I grew up reading books and that's how I like them, I've read a number of ebooks and I didn't hate it by any means.

As for vinyls, of course lossless digital files sound better, but I like to be able to hold the cover and inspect the artwork.

>>8229969

No, I think vinyl sounds worse unless it's a very good recording on a brand new record. And even then you need a good turntable.

I'm not saying the words are more meaningful in a real book. Just that it's a better reading experience. But I didn't grow up with 24/7 access to a computer so maybe people who did can't appreciate it.

Speaking of vinyl, one way it is superior is the album art. A digital format will never replicate the massive fold-out embossed covers some LPs come with.

>>8229969
>not lending qt's your books

>>8229775
For me actual books are kind of an "escape" from looking at a screen all day. I do enough of that at uni and at home, I tried reading on my iPad for a month and had the worst headache at the end of the day because it was just too much on screen time for my eyes to handle.

I'm gonna be flogged for this, but why can't we have both?
I like my Kindle for many reasons, like being able to carry many books with me on vacation and read, and because they're free and so widely available. I can read a book in Dutch even when I don't live in the Netherlands and my local library has none. I don't have to order any magazines or papers online and wait for them to arrive.
On the other hand, books are a lot easier when it comes to studies. I would never be able to study from a digital textbook, scribble the shit out of it, etc. It just wouldn't feel "real".
Many of them are really old and valuable, many have emotional value, some are old hand-me-downs with dog ears and mustaches on pictures of important women in history, but that gives them personality.

>>8230106
you can for sure have both. I quite enjoyed my kindle before I broke it. I'm just saying that , if forced to choose, I would definitely go with physical books. Can't scrawl in the margins of a digital copy of Ulysses.

>>8230106

>tfw I use the digital version of my medical text book just for being able to control+F because the registers usually suck and then open a physicall copy to that page.

not so nice but it's 150euro/month

>>8230090
nice, colour and carpet makes it look a lot smaller/darker though.

white walls + darkwood floor would make it so much bigger/lighter

>>8230095
looks cheap

>>8229655
>>8229660
not bad

>>8230374
>150euro/month

Damn that's not bad, I could easily live there especially for that price. What's the area like?

>>8230374
where you live? can i move there place?

>>8230374
needs a carpet

yeah it's not too bad for that price but I'm planning to move out pretty soon. anyways it's in a tiny college town in Italy, so, kinda quiet. but at least i get to travel a bit. I've been thinking about carpets (already have two) but I didn't want to spend so much about it since it was just a temporary solution. (bothered with the tenembaums poster tho)

about twice as big as my room and I pay twice what you pay

>>8230374
so i can move to italy and live for 300 euro/month?

>>8229211
here,

Something I promised last tthread: world's most distorted panorama ever.

>>8230547
they might be haha. my girlfriend bought some vases at a garage sale and left them in my car, so I brought them inside, bought some random flowers that I thought looked nice and I put them in. First time I ever bought a plant for decoration. Something wrong about buying carnations or something?

>>8228425
>Obama sticker on the fridge
into the trash it goes

>>8230073
literally all you're saying is "I DON'T LIKE THAT YOU ARE NOT READING BOOKS THE EXACT SAME WAY I'M READING BOOKS". Who gives a fuck, you're both reading the same shit, if he enjoys reading them like that more, it doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fucking story of the book. I like reading physical books too but don't try to convince me that the medium through which he reads those words change the experience of the story itself, which is the only thing that matters. Everything else is personal preference, it's like me arguing that reading by a tree is the best way to read books and if you read indoors you're the cancer that's killing the generation.

>>8231332
Never did I imply that "my way" of reading was in any way superior. I just said WHY I enjoy reading this way more.

>>8231313
>Something wrong about buying carnations or something?

Not at all. They are cheap and yet elegant flower imho, but not easy to arrange. Right side of your bouquet is good, but left side is not as pleasant to the eye because all flowers are at the same level, revealing the stem. Shorten some of them or add some greenery and you'll be just fine.

Actually, most e-readers have have functions that allow you to write notes and such. Unless you're doodling pictures of penii in your copy of Ulysses, you can pretty much do with a digital copy what you can with a physical copy.

I think, really, it just comes down to comfort. You can't always explain why you're more comfortable one way or the other, you just are. Don't try to justify it, do how you do, and let others do how they do. Stop worrying about it.

Actually, I bet most modern e-readers/tablets will let you doodle penii in your digital copies. Or at least, attach pictures to certain notes you make in them.

>>8230374
Did you do the stencil?

>>8233947

Are you serious? Do you understand how ridiculous you sound? You are your own recipient of the insult you're dishing out.
Just by the fact you've called him that you've proven you're some sort of close-minded asshole that seriously doesn't understand that there are preferences that other people prefer that differ from your own. Especially in a case like this. I like owning physical books and I while I do believe it is an entirely different experience in reading them, I would never chastise a person for owning an e-reader and preferring to read all his books on it. Seriously though, if anything people like you are the ones that need to be removed from society.

>>8230106
you can definitely have both, anyone else who says otherwise in this thread is an autist.
