what does your room look like?

[fatalerror]

I like purple...a lot.

Haaaaa *waves at Mewtwo*

Hmm my dormroom's pretty barren, mostly just my laptop, tablet, animation books, and a few toys.

And my brother's Spongebob comforter. I have no shame.

[insideontheoutside]

I had a really small room when I was growing up, which meant I didn't have a lot of space to collect a bunch of clutter, so it was generally neat. I had posters and stuff on the walls, the bed, a night stand, a giant guitar amp and guitar on a stand and a stereo. Everything else was pretty much in the closet.

Now, many years (and crappy apartments later) I have a whole house that I've decorated. My bedroom looks like it was torn from the pages of Better Homes & Gardens (or the Pier 1 Import catalog ...) Since I've got other rooms, the bedroom can be relaxing without any clutter. I've got a "music room" now with about 800 or so records, 6000 or so CDs, 2 techniques 1200 turntables, a guitar, an amp, 5 or 6 pedals, a pile of cords, an ugly floor lamp, a media computer, a Nord keybord and a pile of framed art that we rotate around the house (and yes, a lot of the music stuff is my other half's).

Here's my room -

I like how you can see a bit of me taking the picture in the second shot, and the first pic in this thread on the computer. My house is messy, but considering almost the entire thing is captured in these two photos, I think I'm doing alright. I get it spotless now and again, and that lasts like an hour or two.

[Felix]

while digging in my phone I also found this. I was trying to get an idea of my stature last year but it's not especially useful for much other than showing my house.

My room looks so unbelievably feminine, it's sad. 

I don't even know what I could do to change it, but I am going to try tomorrow. 

I really hate my room. D8

It's okay to have a feminine room. I hope you didn't decide to change it because of this thread. Or maybe that's a decent reason, maybe it just makes you think about what you actually want. Anyway try not to let abstractions and stereotypes make you get rid of anything you like.

[Sea-Sam]

Partly because of this thread, but I've also wanted to change it for a while now..

All of the furniture was given to me. So I had absolutely no say in how I wanted it to look.  xP

Here's my living space, in all its messy glory. I sleep in the living room 'cause the carpet in the bedrooms is older than most of the guys on this forum and it's seriously gross now.



Here's my workout area behind the couch. I do have a decent gym set up in one of the bedrooms, but I always end up bringing the weights out while I watch TV in the living room.

@Felix: I like your bunk-bed. I was thinking about getting something like that for my room. But my room is small so it probably wouldn't be a good idea for me. Be it would be cool to have in like a spare room or something. I like your room too.

@driven: Nice!

@Sea-Sam: Can you ask your parents to get you new furniture for your room? Like for your b-day or something? I know it sucks having furniture in your room you don't like. I had furniture in my room since I was a kid I didn't like, and then for my B-day I picked out new furniture for my room that my mom bought me as a b-day gift. Have you thought about saving up and buying new furniture for your room yourself?

Secondhand shops and places like Craigslist and stuff are great for this -- oftentimes you can find really neat things for not that much money. For example, I have an old mail sorter from a Post Office/mailroom that I use to sort DVDs and, yea, mail.

There's no way I'd post pics of my room as-is: a bomb going off in it would probably actually make it look less messy and cluttered. I need to sort, store, and get rid of a lot of stuff I have I think. I just have too much. There was a point where it was all neat and stuff...I miss it. It didn't look bad at all at that time.

"I misgendered Jesus" - that made my day

My walls are purple because I stole my sister's bedroom when she moved out :/ I try my best to completely obscure them with posters, art projects, and my version of charlieissocoollike's Wall of Stuff. Floor is covered with school stuff, violin case, guitar, books, half-finished stories, music, and half-finished art projects (not priests, autocorrect!!). I have loads of books arranged alphabetically (only neat part of my room is my bookshelf...) and  every available surface is crammed with yet more art projects, cosplay wigs on stands, and various souvenirs. Surprisingly enough, I'm a pretty organised person, but when I don't need other people to be able to find things easily I just organise stuff in my own way, which happens to appear messy to outsiders That's my excuse, anyway.

My room is a bit messy. That's mainly because I can't seem to find the time to clean it, unfortunately. But here it is in all its glory.

[Dominick_81]

@henry: Nice set up. Again, I like the bunk -bed. Very cool!

I feel you there. Except for the bed, I got all my furniture from dumpsters, friends, other people's evictions, etc. Totally random and unchosen. Luckily I live in a huge building with high turnover and I've been here for years so I've been able to quickly replace anything I don't like.

[Felix]

Henry we have the same bunk bed! Does yours have the canyon on the bottom bunk where your fat boyfriend sat on it too much and warped the springs? Do you do acrobatics while hanging onto the underside of the top bunk? Do you smack the back of your head on those corner edges and swear every time that you aren't going to do that again? Is yours also completely impossible to have sex on because it reminds you of a little kid squeaks too much? Haha. Gosh I'm so easily pleased. I should go check out Cindy's ironing thread again, see if that's as exciting as talking about furniture.

[poptart]

Not gonna post a pic right now but I first read this as "what does your mom look like?". Oh god... I am too high to be on this site.

[PixieBoy]

My room looks rather like a shrapnel bomb detonated in it. I have loads of stuff, and I'm one of those hoarder-type persons, so... yeah. I have a bunk bed that sounds like it's falling apart every time you sleep in it. There is order in my chaos; I know where my stuff is despite it not being in neatly labelled boxes and such. Tidying the room is unpleasant because then I have to mentally revise every "map" I have of where the things are, which can take a while. Some old "maps" are still in my head, so I may remember where I put a specific toy when I was 6 but not where I'd find it now.

In all it's unkept glory.



And my pride and joy, my DVD collection (most of it!)

[schism]

nice dvd collection, i need some shelves for mine, they're just stacked on the floor.  though i kinda like how they look there.

[N.Chaos]

"I misgendered Jesus" is the best thing I've read in weeks.
Made my night, lol.

schism, your room looks lovely! I could never live in a room like that, its far too neat and clean and, well, normal looking for me, but it looks so nice. I do envy those windows a bit, though.
