I was just kidding when I posted those pictures and meant absolute no disrespect to this thread. I actually hope more people contribute to this (w/ their actual homes) as I love to see peoples' pads. But after seeing Beardown/Mona's places, there was no picture of my real home that would come close to being as impressive as theirs....so I opted to go the other extreme.

In case you were wondering. I was recently in Shanghai and was curious what apt's were renting for in a certain area I was walking through. So I went into a random apt. leasing company. I told them my range was was about $3000RMB ($440 USD) and what kind of apt could I get...they said they had something available that was cheaper than that for $2000RMB ($290)...and Tada!!! These pics were of that place. I honestly think it is even cheaper and they were just trying to shake me for more $$$.

BTW, where in Ohio do you live Beardown? I am from Cincinnati.

ROFL...too much, too much.

Very neat, Eternal. Scandinavian, if I may say so myself :-). I have the same Ikea in-wall shelves - they are the best thing Ikea sells.

[bestial]

for a first apartment, and also that you're a student this is very nice Eternal! everything looks untouched, so I guess this apartment is built not so long ago?

you have bought it right, it's not a rental?

[comedyzen]

Great view! Where exactly do you live Eternal?

[DRRRK]

Very nice, Eternal. I like the buliding. The furniture may be Ikea, but it is tasteful nonetheless.

[bestial]

Bergen, capital of blackmetal? :)

Comedyzen,

No disrespect taken at all. You should have seen where I lived before I bought this house. It came complete with a crack dealer in the upstairs place. But your spot has a lot of potential...part of the fun is transforming a living space into a place you feel comfortable. More than money, it's just time and work to end up with a nice place. Money helps but there are lots of ways around it.


Eternal,
Love it all, from the outside on in. It's a shame that it's so common for Americans to continue to build things like McMansions when there are so many good architects out there these days. Function can co-exist with a nice aesthetic but you don't see it a whole lot in the U.S.
In the midwest, there are some hidden gems since Frank Lloyd Wright was around in the 60s but for the most part, it's as traditional and Americana as a wagon wheel and apple pie.
I would suggest that people just want function at the best price but since the rest of America's aesthetic is so tweaked, it's likely more driven by boring, contemporary visual trends.

Nice pads to everybody here!

Been here for about 3 weeks with my soon-to-be fiance, but shhh ... don't tell her that

the only interior pic that I can be bothered taking at the mo (blame the bottle, not me) is of the lounge ...



but it was the outside that made me scream "yes! yes! ohhh fuck, yes!" when signing the reservation form ...

[comedyzen]

Hey Bear, haha, the place isnt mine. It was a rental I was curious about in China. Where in Ohio are you? I am a former Buckeye myself? Cincinnati Boy.

Is that a stone pattern on the sofa?
