[RespectYourself]

Guys, I'm finally moving out and have no clue about the essentials to starting my own home. Forgetting about bedding, futuristic minimalist couches from Scandinavia, etc. I'm talking about pots, pans, basic appliances, etc.

I walked around the store for an hour and a half last night and only came home with a vegetable peeler, towels and a can opener. I am not gonna make it.

What are some solid essentials?

Toilet plunger.

I like the nostalgic pieces, ones that tell a story, would like to have something like this:



or this "campaign chest"



Both are from www.russellsformen.com, they have some cool wildlife/historical art as well.

On night shift trying stay awake, went from page one to here. Lots of cool ideas but this is not one of them......if they were the real deal sure....its all knock-off imitation replicas.

Take the time...antique stores, craigslist, yard/garage sales.....find genuine cool things. Reminds me of pottery barn from Friends episode. This is if you want your idea of story time not the LOL fake stuff you have no story, sorry dude.

You can't go into those saying they are the genuine, you have to disclose it with an appreciation of the stories they told. To find actual pieces can be worthwhile, but very expensive and sometimes very hard to come by. I look at these like I would a model airplane, or a model supercar. It's for the appreciation, clearly not the real thing (only attainable at the time).
Agreed they are indeed replicas, the real deal would be much more meaningful and impressive. But make no mistake, I have several pieces from antique stores and flea markets, and few that I have hand crafted. Can post if I feel it necessary.

Thanks but i closed Thursday (past tense). That makes tomorrow my 1 week anniversary of being a home owner. Haha.

Went to Ikea over the weekend and saw the Poang chairs. My god are they comfortable. Definitely going to get at least a couple once I finally move. They look alright, nothing to fancy, but damn are they comfortable. And for <$100 they're a damn steal.





I'm pretty sure, at the very least, I'll be getting 2 for the patio. I'll sand the frames and paint to seal them for outdoor use and have a friend make some waterproof covers. Boom.

Just ordered this print.

[RThoe]

Any of you brahs have experience with canvas prints and where to go to find a wide selection or where to make custom ones? The print I want is of the iconic photo of soldiers approaching Omaha Beach on D-Day.

I found the print available here, but for the size I want it's rather pricy. I'm unaware if all canvas prints in the larger sizes are the same rate or if this place has them marked high.

I'm looking at the 30" and up sizes.

Finally getting some furniture so going to move into my condo soon.

Latest purchases for it


Acrylic coffee table. Chose this for lightweight, but sturdy and small size while being clear will keep the space looking more open

Got on clearance for $87 for the two. Going to use them for kitchen island seating and not have a dining area since my space is very limited.

Awesome contributions bro.
I love those bar stools, those are sick. $87 for 2, can't beat it for that style.

[nchesher]

I moved into a new place last month and have absolutely zero artwork/decoration. Where can I find some cool chit brahs?

Here's a cool set of pics I've been thinking about using.

Got a Poang a few weeks ago. It does have a patio look but I think the leather looks slightly less patio than the burlap type ones. Matching ottoman was going to be $90 so I got a different one on Amazon for $68 which can double as an extra seat.

Prolly should have bought a TV stand or a wall mount for your TV as well.

Poang chair crew, they hold up mostly, Ive had one for about 3 years now. Only flaw, the cushion started sliding in on one side. Put a yoga mat behind the cushion and its back to new!
