The tackiness could easily be amended by discarding the garish art pieces and replacing all of the different wallpapers with something plain. There is too much going on. It's a bomb apartment though, would be a dream to live in with the right décor.
Overkill on the halogen downlights in the living room though

Thanks dude, the lamps are Ikea. I'm working on saving up for some boconcept stuff, mostly for the empty living room, so Ikea is the spot for a lot of little things.

Anyone ever painted a wall with chalkboard paint before? My brother wants to paint one of the walls in our living room, but I don't know if it'll look good.

i have chalkboard paint in my bedroom, but only on a section of one wall. It's more for utility and not looks...the flat paint would not be a good look for an entire wall i think. If it's gonna serve a purpose, go for it. Just know that it's not exactly like having a chalkboard. There's also whiteboard paint out there. thought about picking some of that up when i move out.

4wrestling- That is aspot. How much did it run you?
Putting 20% down will definitely pay off in the long run (avoiding the mortgage insurance), but for the short term, my pockets are pretty tight.
I plan on making a major post in this thread or possibly creating a house transformation thread of my own. I have been going through each and every page to get inspiration for my new house. I just bought an older two level home that was absolutely disgusting inside. It wasn't health hazard dirty, but the decor was absolutely hideous. Wallpaper on every wall, 20 year old carpet and draperies, wood molding everywhere and weird upgrades.
I paid 200k and got a 30 year fixed @ 4.5% with half a point in lender credit. The money saved at closing (small down payment) enabled me to completely re-do everything on the inside. I know the smart investment move would be to throw as much down and pay off the house as quickly as possible and upgrade over time, but I want to live comfortably in a house that I enjoy.
As it stands now I have purchased the following:
- New 4 piece stainless steel appliance set
- Laminate flooring (Toasted Chicory from LL) for the dining and living rooms (concrete slab living ftl)
- Granite countertop getting installed Friday
- New undermount sink installed Friday
- New breaker panel and all new electric
Currently, every floor is stripped down to the subflooring. Every wall has been stripped of its wallpaper and I'm in the process of patching and priming. I have to buy a new back slider as well as a new front door. The kitchen cabinets are getting painted white with all new hardware. I've built a pantry in a storage closet. O yeah, I'm putting in a new bathroom in the master.
The projects are endless and I probably won't get to buying all the furniture/accessories for some time now, but seeing what is in this thread is definitely motivating me to push forward.
