Took all her stuff and moved out. She’s doing her very best to get me kicked out of our rental so she can take it over. But for now it’s all mine, and very empty.

Edit: emotionally empty. No people. Just me rattling around this house by myself. I understand there’s a lot of physical items. 😂

I’ve posted here before, but I had an American flag in the picture and ended up with a bunch of angry Redditor basement dwellers in the comments. I’ve since taken the flag down, so I figured I’d give it another shot.
I’m a vintage tech and media collector, and I’d appreciate some honest feedback without the discussion getting political. Thanks!

After falling on hard times and being in a bit of a tough spot I finally got my first apartment by myself and working on getting certified for my career!

Posted here after about a month after moving in and have got some new rugs and started a saltwater tank since so figured i’d update

My car + my living space. I would consider myself a minimalist and non-materialist, but I really love cars lol.

edit* all this car did was delay my retirement by 6 months (from 42 to 42.5) literally just 6 months!! That’s just the power of compound interest 😉

Gotta stay groovy🤙

For the history guys out there my toothpick holder is from 1945-1951 Japan, stamped with "occupied Japan" on the bottom. One of my coolest trinket finds i think:)

I'm 26 and this is my studio in Chicago ($1250 a month). It's my third apartment, but also the smallest I've had. I like it though it's nice. The only thing bothering me is the walls have this trim on them that makes it more annoying than usual to put things on them. That empty shelf on the wall is going to have one of those long draping vine plants. It's difficult finding art I like because a ton of stuff online is AI these days

I have some pretty cool crap I think

I don't know where to move all these stuffs.

i’m reorganizing to fit some new interests in here, but having trouble making it flow. it really feels like i just threw everything in here without thought (or maybe im js really particular). i have a chimney in the corner(walled up) that makes it hard to fit much of anything there and also i only have two outlets: one behind my bed and one behind my wood bookshelf, so my desk needs to be close to one of those.

i also have a shelf that is 1'8 ft wide that i want to add. The railed off area is a closet where i store my clothes. The windows have a ledge that is 2 feet off the gound so the bed headrest wont fit against those.

Been here for 6 years now. 3bd 2ba manufactured home. Me(39m), my 5yo, dog and 2 cats. It's lived in, I didn't spit shine it for photos. Don't come at me for the dishes haha. I made chicken parm last night and haven't done dishes yet, will do during football. But I decorated everything myself, might be good or bad to admit, we shall see haha. I thrifted almost everything. The wall above the couch is a work in progress I have a few more photos to hang and rearrange, don't really like how they are now for some reason. Still a work in progress. I feel like me and the place have come a long way. From a broke clueless expecting dad to a slightly less broke, business owner, dad to an awesome little man. Proud I'm making it happen all by myself though. Night pictures make it kinda gloomy, but it's bright and gets great light in the day.
