thanks man..i was thinking about getting some wall art...but i dont wanna just throw up some posters and call it a day lol...a fridge isnt a bad idea!

Where do you sleep?

[nmulax]

Well he said art, not posters. Unless they're vintage style and framed/matted, do not put up posters. You're in NYC right? There are so many up and coming artist and galleries. Find someone who's work you like and pick up a few pieces.

• definitely cover up the speaker wires, and organize that mess of wires behind the tv
• get some stuff on the wall - maybe some of those floating shelves to add some dimension
• paint the wall behind the tv as an accent wall - a dark coffee color would look good
• coffee table is in order; so is a lamp

some bar lights....couple stand lights....a new tv-stand...wal-mart had a solid one for $200...and a couple bean bags...and a liquor cabinet=~600 and you're set

[Chunga]

I think the only way to watch movies is on the big screen. Projector.
And you dont have to spend much money or time to get the right mood out of a small room. Som paint, fake panels and the right chairs.
And of course the tools and time......
And their you go........................

Okay, so much talk and the main thing that jumped out at me was the futon... that is more college kid than bachelor pad. That is the first thing I would do personally (get rid of it)

Then perhaps a desk for that nice monitor of yours

i like your bean bag + lights idea..now just gotta find some nice ones

[dlwhite]

xxballinboi786...good luck with the new digs!

[xxballinboi786]

i just kind of a weird idea, but i thought it would look nice...

i want to get a few LED's and put them around the corners behind my tv, so the tv has an outline in other a soft gold, white/light blue, or red...what do you guys think?

[xxballinboi786]

scratch that out...either gold or white/light blue

[AWD Addict]

1) Run the wires for the wall speakers behind the wall, or get floor units. The speaker wires look terrible.

2) Get a better TV stand. The desk is pretty ghetto. Staples and Target have cheap stuff that looks decent enough if your budget is short.

3) Hang some art / pictures on the wall!

4) Ditch the futon. Get a sofa.

5) Get a coffee table and end tables, and some lamps.

Good luck!

Its tiny but cosy - you dont feel the size. Your room are not big to. So there are lots of things you can do.
Led and stuff - nope. Movies have to be seen in red theater. Thats the classic way.

That is nice, but makes the TV look way to small. And the pipes arent to great around the TV sort of distracting.

How much does that go for too? If in the thousands I'd pass.

But OT, room looks way better than mine ever has and god damn your such a lucky kid all that fucking shit plus a BMW.

1) You need to get a real monitor. This is the most important thing. A midrange monitor will have the same/more pixels than a 1080p television costing thousands more.
2) You should have bought a big DLP TV for the same price as that (relatively) small LCD television. Too late now though.
3) I'd suggest a Wii as well.

[Chunga]

You cant hardly find anything better then Samsung on the market. And - it was the first TV to come with real 1080. Not just "HD ready".
Nice TV.
Back projection TV´s sux. Then you are there where you invenst in a real projector instead.

Take the ps3 and put it down flat, you have it vertical and there are fans there where its sitting on the wood for ventilation... You will burn it out over some time IMO...

Are you living at home? If your living at home with your parents then it will never be a bachelor pad..

Not knocking him but he is like 17 or something so obviously for usre isnt a bachelor pad. I'm assuming he used it for dramtization of some sort.

[Chunga]

Ok?
Sorry dude for my fancy pictures then. You have a lot to look foreward to in your life.
I am 45..........

I have that same exact Samsung surround sound system and its wireless ready, what I did was I bought the wireless router and connected it to the speakers. No more wires.
