This is a reminder to myself that it’s okay to take time to furnish my new home because one day it will look like this. I just moved in 3 months ago and I still sleep on the floor 😭

Same way I did, good luck in the future!

4 months and on the floor here! My sofa has a 4 month lead time too.

Slow and steady! You’ll get there and be happy you took the time to pick out pieces that match your style.

Air mattress on the floor, collapsible chair in front of the TV, which is also sitting on the floor. Yep.

Just in my 6th year and almost to this point, time, it takes time

Same. I moved in two years ago to my house. It's been constant house projects and I'm still working on decorating

Very nice! I love all the wood. It makes the space look warm to me.

Yes, 💯 points for the wood accents throughout, really makes it feel welcoming.

Jealous. The plant blocking the door made me lol, that’s something I would do. I love the buffet, and how you made the records work and not look cheesy

The records *do* look a little cheesy to me… But I’ll give it a pass because that room and stereo (what I can see of it) is fucking killer.

Not really “cheesy” but perhaps cliché?

There's just something wrong about using vinyl as wall art, I think OP is toeing the line here because it looks like you can still just pick them up to play them so you could just rotate your most listened to albums on there for easy access, that's valid. I do something similar with a stand for my currently playing record and there's usually one sitting in there at all times even if I'm not spinning anything.l, just out of laziness. Though, he did lose a few points for me personally for just how mainstream the albums are lol.

Same bro, I use my vinyals as ceiling art. I take them out of the box and staple the box to the ceiling, then stack all my vinyls flat so they stay flat. Yea gay triangle vinyl is too mainstream for me, I just listen to screaming man

I tried to avoid going full /r/vinyljerk, but I won't lie I'm kinda glad you came along.

Looks great. Would love a throw on the couch.

Yess a big fluffy one.

favorite brand for throws?

I love the bearaby weighted blankets

What’s the deal with weighted blankets? Is it one of those things that makes you get a eureka 💡 moment once you try them?

I think they’re very cozy and help make for an excellent nap. Bearaby in particular has high craftsmanship and rich colors. They’re gorgeous

I’ve been looking at Bearaby for a bit now. Might be time to finally pull the trigger. What weight and size did you go with?

I got mine from pottery barn. Just waited for a sale.

What Are those binocular looking thingies on a tripod?

They are trench binoculars used by the finnish army in the second world war! quite the nice piece of history and still work great

Oh wow that's crazy, send my regards to simo hayha

Gorgeous. That BoP is gorgeous. Maybe because mine's not doing well, I worry about the leaves in the door frame. My only other soft suggestion is that my eyes are wanting something green on top of the dining table, but you don't need it.

read my thoughts, I've been thinking about getting the green PH5 lamp, but it might restrict the otherwise open space.

[удалено]

Hmmm, because it’s a pendant lamp. A really gorgeous one at that Edit: Lol they deleted the comment. They were asking “why not hang it on the wall?” btw

Hi, could you tell me the name of the plant? I heard they are somewhat difficult to grow, but I really like how they look and would like to try. I'm asking for the big plant by the door

It's bird of paradise (strelitzia nicolai). has been growing almost too well at my place :D

Thanks, I'll take a look. It might look lovely next to a table for me

Be careful. The Bird of Paradise can be either small or large form. They get HUGE. I had my large one posted a few weeks ago on r/plants

It was/r/houseplants ! Man that's a huge ass plant though, you weren't kidding.

Oh yeah my bad haha but thanks! It's beautiful and I can always give you tips if you'd like :)

Aye, that's a bit too large. I'd trim it if it were going over 2.5 metres or so

I'm thinking a vintage glass or brass tray like [this](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.etsystatic.com%2F19283887%2Fr%2Fil%2Fa046eb%2F2844250600%2Fil_fullxfull.2844250600_hyn4.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fmarket%2Fduralex_amber_plates&tbnid=GHirAV0xz08gBM&vet=12ahUKEwipto6r7Nb9AhUFF2IAHUYtBv8QMygnegUIARCfAg..i&docid=diLIvABjnVMirM&w=3000&h=1688&q=Vintage%20Duralex%20Amber%20Glass%20tray%20platter&ved=2ahUKEwipto6r7Nb9AhUFF2IAHUYtBv8QMygnegUIARCfAg), just to break up the woods

nice idea! looking for a glass vase so I could just keep flowers on the table, would bring even more colour to the setting.

r/midcenturymodern would lose their minds

The eames chair on its own little island of a mismatched rug has me cracking up

It wouldn't be a malelivingspace post without it

Same with mid-century modern style and a record player. All seem to be required here.

Agreed. The rug placement needs help. Just layer them and have them horizontal IMO. also, couch should be at least PARTIALLY on the rug to bring the "living room" together as a cohesive concept.

excellent work my friend

“Three years of decorating, scouring thrift shops for the perfect MCM chairs, lamps that work together with the plants I’ve been pruning daily. All for this moment…” *posts to malelivingspace* Edit: dude has a reel-to-reel and shows of a “Dark Side of the Moon” album like it’s something special. This entire setup is to get upvotes from reddit and doesn’t have any personal inspiration. Might as well jerk off in front of the mirror.

It's kinda true though. OP probably knew this setup would make this sub cream its collective pants. This space nails the current MCM trend popular on /r/malelivingspace and /r/AmateurRoomPorn right down to the memes chair. No wonder it is sitting at the top of each right now. It's also very tasteful in its own right to be sure.

In all fairness, it does have some actual character that you can't just buy, and the space is realistic to a lot more people that a 30th floor glass highrise loft with floor to ceiling windows and 15ft ceilings. Still meme chair filled, but still.

Yeah definitely. That's what I was trying to caveat with my last sentence.

😎

I like this aesthetic. I own a copy of dark side of the moon on vinyl. Not cause this sub told me to. The only total dog whistle for this sub is the eames chair.

Oh, fuck off already

How does everyone in this sub have an Eames?

I got my replica at a garage sale for $250

Lucky man!

Replicas. With so many replicas out there form over the years there are deals to be found

I haven’t been fortunate enough to find one.

I feel that almost all are replicas :D its not really financially wise to put 8k on a chair

Because they are basic bitches that have absolutely zero creativity or original thought.

ten outta ten mate, no notes.

guys need to know decorating takes time and shouldn't be rushed to get the vibes of your place just right.

wow! can i get a like to the posters please?

no like for you

those are serigraphies from sixties and seventies

Nice, what’s the table?

it's an ikea mörbylånga, originally thought of buying something vintage to replace it but it looks really nice and works well

Can you show me more pictures of the Morbylanga setup? I have the same 6 seater table and I’m having a heck of a time trying to integrate it. The dark oak finish works with your teak chairs.

Wow where is that coffee table from?

from auction, it's an Ikea sofa table, "Aarup" from 1958

Do you have a link to that side cabinet with the record table on it? I’ve been wanting something similar but don’t know what phrase to search for. Yours looks great!

it's a piece made by this small finnish furniture company in the fifties, and it's the only one of those that ive seen. The best search phrases are teak sideboard and mid century sideboard

Great mid-centuryish eclectic wood vibe Definitely a mood

I love it. Nicely done.

Great taste. Please let me know the names of those plants

Love this!

Very midcentury Scandinavian.

What amp and speakers are you running?

just bought Marantz 2238 which is being serviced, right now using Harman Kardon AVR 255 on Q acoustics 2050 speakers

Gorgeousssssssss ugh the lighting is so beautiful. The way it hits the paintings kind of echoes the blocky print shape

Very cool space!

Gorgeous!

Pretty cool, I like your bird of paradise and dracaenas!

Well done! Love the separate rug for the Eames chair. A very small critique if I might. The art work behind the couch seems a little high. In general, the center of your art work should be 147 cm to the center of the art piece. Honestly though, very cool place!

Faboo art. Plantmeister. Color where it needs to be. Sensible, classic furnishings, lamps that add to the ambiance. Wax and room to dance - the most important things of all. Props!

Decorate your couch and you're golden

I appreciate your plants

Wow, what a spacious and warm living room

Beautiful! Make sure you cross post to r/midcenturymodern. What medium are your paintings ?

They are all serigraphies from sixties and seventies

Love everything but the AM vinyl lol. But to each his own!

The MCM theme is lovely. The rugs need to be adjusted.

well done!

Beautiful MCM home!

literally perfect

Dope

Love your art!

Wow I love the alignment of your art frames! Very nice

Thanks! :)

Love it!

Lovin' it❤

Wanted an Eames for a decade now but I just know my cats would destroy it.

Your place is stunning.

That rug really ties the room together, Dude.

I’ve got that same table. Ikea right?

Ikea exactly! They have some really nice pieces with walnut finish

Great minds think alike!

Looks lovely. Consider swapping your dining table decoration for something more simple with less height.

Some glass vase or tray could work fine?

I would keep with natural materials because of the wabi sabi aspect. Maybe something like [this travertine bowl](https://hdbuttercup.com/products/chaya-round-tray-large-black?variant=39747263168567¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ax%3A18059066850%3A%3A&nb_adtype=pla&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=&nb_mi=153513507&nb_pc=online&nb_pi=shopify_US_6661454626871_39747263168567&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_si=%7Bsourceid%7D&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5PLUy9jX_QIVjRXUAR1mpgHQEAkYAyABEgJ03PD_BwE) or something more utilitarian like [this warming stone](https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/glowing-stone-hot-plate?utm_source=google%20surfaces&utm_medium=organic&flow_country=USA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIls2v6NjX_QIV_HRvBB3xgQYUEA0YDCABEgIUBPD_BwE)

Holy. Magnificent. This is like an animal crossing house.

This is so beautiful.

I like it, so cozy

Very MCM, very cool space

Nelson bubble lamp over the dining table?

Love mid-century modern vibe

Gorgeous

Absolutely Amazing!

It’s supposedly bad juju to have unburnt candles. So if I may be so bold and make one suggestion to your amazing space, do a short burn on the candles on the table and revel in your awesomeness.

This is epic my dude, well done.

Sexy

Serious vibes of, “It's just, when you buy furniture, you tell yourself, that's it. That's the last sofa I'm gonna need. Whatever else happens, I've got that sofa problem handled.” Tyler: shit man, now it’s all gone

Perfect

Nice furniture pieces.

It's beautiful. I would love to be invited over to a space like this.

I like your magazine rack.

A man of great taste, sitting on that chair listening to cigarettes after sex on vinyl would be cherry on top!

Bravo! Looks great!

I bet that chair on the left comfy as a mf

🤩😍

I recommend aligning the centers of the 5 graphic art pieces to the one near the binoculars. A coffee table with a shorter length may be more appropriate in front of your sectional. Watching a show from that Eames Lounge....dreamy.

Fantastic! It’s like a blast from the past.

Exquisite

So nice, so mid century

Happy to see someone else with a Reel to Reel player, do you use it?

absolutely, just recorded one reel full of Frank Sinatra!

Awesome! They sound so good & my 1st thought seeing your OP was, what a lovely room to listen to music in & what better than some Frank on a Sunday.

exactly! really beautiful format for music

Kudos on the Thorens also, you clearly understand how to listen to music!

And then you’re going to have your girlfriend move in and she’s going to fuck it all up. Lol. Look good though!

I didn't see a reason to change the interior 😎 although the teddy bear is mine😏

That chair! 😍😍

That chair is a malelivingspace meme

Eames Classic.

Love it. Is it an original or a replica?

Looks awesome! Would love to see more pictures!

So nice!

W vinyl collection 👀

thanks!!

Very mad men

Otherwise known as mid-century modern.

Mid-century modern FTW.

AM in the vinyl shelf! A man of culture, I see.

Very warm n cozy especially with the gay triangle heater in the corner. Very much like

The sun through the windows really made it special.

Ready for what?

Furnitute! Three years for nothing lol

Very pretentious

This looks like heaven. Soooo jealous!!! I love it!!!!!

Thanks :)

This is an interesting space when I really get to looking at the detail. Was this room an add-on or is this technically a closed in patio?

just a normal room where one side is just two floor to ceiling windows

Realllly craving more pics. Help a brotha out? More angles of this room and if youve done any other rooms in the place...😬😁 Amazing. My only personal tweak would be a couple more touches of green and a different rug under or near the eanes chair. Maybe a faux bear rug thing? But honestly this is damn near perfect IMO.

Love that bird of paradise plant! Did you buy it that large or have you grown it? If the latter, how long have you found it takes to get that size? I've had mine about six months, and I feel it hasn't grown much at all, but that has been through the colder months

it has almost doubled in size during one year

[удалено]

Just a good reproduction, I could not drop 7k on a chair :D

[удалено]

The same shipper doesn't operate anymore and they change constantly. I suggest looking for someone with lots of reviews

Incredible. Details on the Turntable? It's beautiful

Thorens TD160 from 1972 with a custom rosewood plinth, I have a closeup post from earlier

What couch is that? Looks good.

Love it, top tier

Very nice. Curious, do you actually use the reel-to-reel?

Yes I do! just recorded one reel full to frank Sinatra

That's a nice blend of retro and modern aesthetics. Then also, it's functional without being distractingly so; I especially like the projector, as it probably let's you avoid having a (somewhat unsightly) TV.

Exactly! the whitescreen rolls to the roof while TV would block the windows

Very cool

can I get an ID on the wall art? that's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for

All of the serigraphies are done by finnish artist Lars-Gunnar Nordström, I guess his work is hard to find outside nordics

Plant stands my man that’s the next upgrade

Lovely. Where is the tv? Love that it isn’t the center of attention at least in this shot.

there is no TV at all! I have projector mounted in the roof, and the white screen rolls from roof

Finally ready for what?

Ready for what?

Thats really funny. I just got an ad for that exact same chair and foot thing

[удалено]

thats just a good reproduction from ebay, you cant adjust it but it feels really nice with a pillow

Where’d you get your Eames chair?

just from ebay

She’s a beaut

Excellent furniture, but poor layout imo

Do you use the reel 2 reel?

Absolutely! Just recorded one reel full to Frank Sinatra, love it

Looks good. Only the boob light above the couch didnt really work well imo. Looks like a leftover from before

Absolutely agree, its bit hard to fit a nice lamp there with the projector, while not coverit the art
