... and all of the other image dump sites are pure concentrated ass. So I had to build this post the hard way.
I've been picking out living room furniture for my new apartment. Here's what I'm looking at.
Rug:

Coffee table:

Two loveseats, exactly alike, but different colors:

A poster:

I don't think the living room is big enough for a sofa, but the two loveseats should work.
The rug and coffee table will be in the middle with the loveseats facing each other across the table and the poster on the wall at one end of the table.

Oh I LOVE this. It looks super '70s and it's warm toned.
It's all got that '70s vibe, and the Escape poster fits that whole aesthetic pretty well too, released in 1981 so it'll be like you've had the place for a while and had the furniture for a few years.

I love envisioning what a new place is gonna look like and how it's gonna be decorated.
I think it's an important part of the magical/manifestation process.

I almost went with a Le Chat Noir poster, but then I saw the Le Chat Noir shower curtain and decided to pair that with a sage colored rug.
The piece de resistance for the living room is a fully restored tourquoise rotary Princess phone that will totally pop on the cranberry coffee table. Unfortunately, the website where I found it blocks copying images from their site, so I can't show it to you here.

I like the seafoam green throw pillows on the blue sofa in that Journey poster photo too. I want to put complementary colored pillows on both loveseats to get the whole shebang popping.

I was thinking about getting a rotary phone the other day.
I have no idea why.

We had this one when I was a kid, it was never used or anything, it was just for looks I guess.

You could be a pro interior decorator with these kinda skills.

I had a Princess phone in nearly every color they made at one point. I had planned to restore them the same way the seller I found is doing it. Even the dinged up, shitty looking discolored ones are getting expensive now.

I think I might just get a cream colored rotary phone and paint it chartreuse and stencil some pastel colored hippie flowers on it.
The princess phones are sorta too compact for me, I like the big ones.

Yeah, I've noticed that with a lot of other different types of collectors' items.
Even the ugly weird fucked up shit is going for a lot of money these days.

I used to watch Trading Spaces back in the day. I started with the yellow loveseat and saw they had a blue one just like it, and went from there.

I looked on craigslist at first. Everybody was wanting brand new prices for their old stuff, and none of it interested me enough to pay that much. So I decided I'd just get all new stuff.

The living room arrangement was missing a floor lamp.

A moon lamp, that's badass. Again with the warm tones, none of that cool toned bullshit.

You should show us a pic when it's all done.

I had to wade through a lot of listings for loud colored LED lamps before I found that one.
I'm gonna post day and night pics so you can see it with the lamp turned on.
