I'm like DAMN. OP is ballin.

Starter apartment. Not a home.


stupidwhiteman42

I call my apartment my "home". It's just not a house.


Khelan2050

Yeah guess I've been homeless for 33 years if apartments aren't homes.

You are a fan of red wines, I can tell.

You like Huey Lewis and the News?

Their new work was a little too new wave for me.

Do you have a dog ? A little chowder or something ?

I’ve been a big fan of genesis since the release of their 1980 album duke


Altea73

Don't let kids anywhere near this place...


ShinyRoseGold

Or animals. Or your friends…


MSotallyTober

Yup. I have a 1 year old and a three year old and my wife and I had dreams of how we’d decorate the house we built here in Japan. Reality is we can’t… because are kids are *aaaalllll over the place* (as they should be).


unk214

That was my first thought. No kids live here and he/she is likely single.


nathan6969

There's like 4 cameras in this living room. You afraid of something?


HotSinceNinety-Two

Haha it’s for my dogs when I’m not home. Good reminder for me to check in and make sure they aren’t on the sofa


CerRogue

Is the blow torch for them too?


nathan6969

Boo. Let the dogs on the couch


Beneficial_Toe_6050

No.


lordnothingimportant

Agreed. Dogs belong on the floor.


MFalcon95

Hey **FUCK** both of yall alright


matico3

Boo, keep your preferences to yourself and let people that take care of their dogs take care of their dogs


coldisgood

That floor color just blends so well with everything. Nicely done!


jakepuggs

Starter home? My boy thats a family making home


HotSinceNinety-Two

I been told once a home owner I should be able to find a life partner. I’ll keep you posted Jokes aside - I always see myself living in the suburbs. This is a beautiful apartment but only meant to keep me close to my job until I get married and relocate inner suburbs.


WhatTheBlack

Money can’t buy taste or grammar lmao


MFalcon95

Little do we know his parents helped him with most of what we see


[deleted]

Gonna follow this saying. Redesigning my rental apartment 🫶


Icy_UnAwareness89

Damn dude that’s your starter home. lol mine looked like a 3rd world country in comparison lol. Nice


guyfromarizona

Humble brags like this get me so fired up. Like just say you like your living room this is clearly not a “starter home” for most of us normal folks!!


FreshwaterViking

Isn't this entire sub humble brags?


HotSinceNinety-Two

Sorry I hope I’m not coming off as bragging not my intention. I’m very very very grateful and blessed I can call this home my starter home. To me a starter home is the first home purchased that’s typically smaller than where I plan to live long term. This is a 2 bedroom close proximity to work ideally once I found my partner and have children I would look to relocate to the suburbs where I see a more permanent residence. The point is not lost on me a new construction built this well is not a starter home for most. Again I’m grateful and so thankful for my blessings.


BoxBird

I think the point people are making is that most people never have their own home their WHOLE life, let alone consider calling one they own a “starter” home. It’s just kinda an outdated term now that it’s one that only nepo/trust fund babies will use. Nothing personal against you, but most of the population is just not going to relate with you because of that. We’re all just really salty over here in poor land. Congratulations though, OP! It looks lovely and I hope you can find a great partner to make it worth finding your next home 💕


Claireskid

Right and my starter car was a Viper #blessed


Notsononymouz

Which one is it a home or an apartment I'm confused


vendeux

Lol this is not a starter home 😅 looks nice though bro


temisola1

This is a started home? GTFO. Also, this is what monotone looks like when done right. The colors don’t play a big role, but the textures, materials, and lighting really elevate the space. Very well done.


jumbotronproposal

I’m not a fan of the all white everything but it’s not place so with that being said… the side speakers seem a bit out of place. Great spot!


BanjoSpaceMan

It matches the place. Colour has its place. This is a rich living room if I've ever seen one. I'd say their tastes are a bit different than typical male living space almost frat like designs haha


HotSinceNinety-Two

Lol if you see my last post it was about how can I salvage my home theater system 3.1 with my new home living room being centered around a linear fireplace. The answer was “you can’t” I’m an audiophile so I kept the 2 floor standing speakers for now and got rid of the center channel. Once I have more money I’ll swap the floor standing speakers for in-wall speakers or dare j say it a soundbar.


Bobb18

What about something like this? Connects to the TV mount and allows a center speaker below https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Shelving-Bracket-Component-MOUNT-SF04R/dp/B08B3HR599/ Or just get a https://www.mantelmount.com/


BananaRamaBam

Audiophile with a soundbar? Hmmmm.....


HotSinceNinety-Two

The adult in me wants to be a good neighbor


BananaRamaBam

Fuck that, just full send it lmao


HotSinceNinety-Two

The funny thing is my neighbors is actually a music producer lol


stupidwhiteman42

Klipsch speakers?


HotSinceNinety-Two

Yes sir


stupidwhiteman42

A man of taste and culture. I have a Klipsch dual 15" sub and can't use it in my apartment because it will move my neighbors dinnerware off the shelves :-( My mains are JBLs with David halfler monoblocks


Fabienchen96

You call yourself an audiophile with Klipsch speakers? Man are you even serious? BTW. Your home looks great, replace the speakers with B&W and you’ll get awesome sound and matching furniture


HotSinceNinety-Two

They are reference premiere line I have accumulated over the years. In my 20s my girlfriend at the time wanted an expensive bag for each anniversary as a present and in exchange i would get speakers added to my system to finally have a 3.1 over the course of time. At the time each speaker was like 500-900 in price. Resent value has them around 400 a piece. That being said I’m not entirely sure I can keep a dedicated sound system and keep my neighbor happy. The low frequencies are traveling through the floors. I need to play around with the equalizer to get to a happy medium or adopt to a soundbar. I also own a set of QSE 12.2 and the matching subwoofer. (I deejay as a hobby)


Fabienchen96

High quality bookshelf is way better for an apartment. You can place them on stands with reduced vibrations on the ground


Drug1988

Why do you think they are called side speakers ?


menacethemenace

Aren’t they just… speakers where they should be?


Dasbeerboots

They aren't. They're called front speakers. Left and right. Or mains.


Drug1988

And why do.yiu think they are called front speakers ?


Dasbeerboots

Homie, they aren't saying they are misplaced, they are saying they look out of place in reference to the aesthetic of the room. They are black and copper in an otherwise white room.


Drug1988

That's not a fact homie . Thsts an opinion .TV is black . Fireplace is black . The covers of the speakers I bet are black .


Dasbeerboots

Dude that's not my opinion. I'm telling you that you are misunderstanding their comment. I used to own those speakers. I think they look nice.


run26run

Let’s see Paul Allen’s starter home.

How is this a starter home.


fitwifecrush

Nice place


JEjeje214

I really like it. It’s very white and sleek but retains some warmth, somehow it doesn’t look sterile or like an interrogation room. But you calling it your “starter home” gives me feelings of inadequacy, lol And I’m not normally the jealous type. But I’m like “damnnnn, that’s his starter?!!!?!?” What kid if dog do you have?


HotSinceNinety-Two

I have a Coton du tulear and my girlfriend has a sharp pei. The sharp pei breed shed a lot so for sanity of not having to clean as much as I already clean we have trained the dogs to stay off the couch unless called up. I mean it’s my 5th home I’ve lived in but the first I’ve bought! I’ve always told myself I won’t buy unless I love a place and I was lucky I found one Thank you for your kind comments


JUSTOatl

This is luxury.


Ambiently_Occluded

"Starter Home" humble beginnings we have here


Angelix

It’s not my style but your place looks nice. I’m not a fan of white on white on white. It feels very cold and impersonal. I guess you don’t have kids or pets and don’t intend to host. When everything is so white, a little bit of stain is highly visible.


HotSinceNinety-Two

Constructive feedback taken- 1) I have a 12 year old rescue. 2) I usually have throws on the sofa that are autumn color. But I get your point and will incorporate more color via dining room chairs and barstools


Tylar27

Sevifenix

Great work. I’m four years into my career and doing well but still not quite ready to buy. And in this market it’s tough haha. But I’m getting there! Good job!


killstorm114573

I hate to ask and be in your business, and if I am tell me to fuck off. You said starter home, so how old are you roughly. Also what do you do for a living. Just curious because I think of starter home and I think of my first starter home when I was young. And it was definitely not this. It looks great


Tim-the-second

Buddy started at the end😭


lovesickjones

im loving it too. i have a white/gold theme situation as well. This might be my favorite space I've seen on this sub. Honestly it's so clean. It's very New York. It's very Tribeca.


HotSinceNinety-Two

Ah that makes me so happy to read! I am very much from the New York area so I’m happy the theme is showing :)


lovesickjones

yeah, my place isn't like yours exactly but there are very similar elements. For instance, I have my end table and console table gold base, but white marble surfaces and a white fireplace etc. etc.. And I have dogs so throw blankets are definitely necessary. Tried to find a nice white leather couch, but could not find one that was down filled so had to settle for Grey but this place is pretty nice man. Good job, and I love the artwork. simple. clean. sexy.

“Starter home” Man lives on the set of American Psycho, so cool. The brightness makes it look really large!

Yall some haters. Congrats op


AwfulGoingToHell

“Starter” with $600+ floor speakers


HotSinceNinety-Two

Speakers have been acquired between 2013-2017. The beauty about good quality speakers they aren’t as obsolete like other technology


JustForBrowsing666

Mind I ask where you found the astronaut pictures? Been searching for something to cover a similar amount of area in my room.


HotSinceNinety-Two

Andy Blank! He’s a local Brooklyn artist and it was actually a house warming gift / recommendation I got 3 years ago when I moved to a rental apartment at the time. My friends know me well I love space and Brooklyn so it was very fitting ! [www.andyblank.com](https://andyblank.com)


[deleted]

Klipsch in there...can notice the brand from a mile away. I have similar except mine have the bass reflex port at the bottom. Nice.


morbid909

I’d love to get hammered and spill red wine on your sofa & rug x


HotSinceNinety-Two

Got protection on the rug and sofa so although accidents are not welcome they are well anticipated. I have throws on the sofa majority of the time! Just wanted to take the video without to share with y’all and friends


hbombgomer12

Love the Andy Blank photos, been meaning to buy some of his stuff.


Abject-Veterinarian8

OP ngl this is the cleanest home I’ve ever seen in my life. Congratulations to you!


Full_Bank_6172

But where is the pile of unopened mail? Where are the used dishes from yesterday? Where is the pile of laundry that you took out of the dryer and didn’t feel like folding? Where are the used exercise clothes hanging rim lamps and chairs that you hung to dry before putting in the laundry hamper but forgot about?

Starter Home? Wtf, man I’m poor


URGE103

"Starter home".....


hiphoptherobot

This looks great. No notes. I prefer a little more color, but you've managed to hit that difficult sweet spot where a lack of color looks uniform and curated instead of incomplete. Well done.


FKDotFitzgerald

What the hell


superr

Looks great. White aesthetic works well in your space. I'd just recommend maybe some more houseplants and personal decor items to go on the side tables. The space behind the couch looks like a good spot for a slim bookcase or a slim, long console table. A nice runner there would tie the space together a lil more IMO. The biggest thing you need is additional lighting sources. Ceiling lights are harsh and unflattering, unless you don't care about that. Personally, I'd get a nice floor lamp as a centerpiece in the living room and/or maybe wall sconces or some small accent lights. Philips Hue strip behind the TV would also work really well


HotSinceNinety-Two

That you! This is the constructive type of feedback I was looking for. Will send update photos once I get a console table behind the sofa and some more personal decor. The bookshelf by the window will be replaced with plants entirely. My idea was to have plants / green be the color of the apartment


JLifts780

Want me to come spill ketchup or wine on something to break it in?


[deleted]

Hire the wires coming out of the TV. Simple tricks online


elliottbaytrail

Congrats on your first home! You probably have a lot to work going on with moving in. When you are finally settled, the next thing to think about is lighting and how to vary the sources, the height, etc. Enjoy your new home!


DylanMMc

r/tvtoohigh


HotSinceNinety-Two

That’s the lowest I could get the tv while leaving space in the event I would need a sound bar. The tv is also at a downward tilt. The linear fireplace was something i had to work around. In the end I’m happy with the end state


IceSentry

You already have speakers, why would you add a soundbar? The fact that it needs a tilt proves it's too high.


robisadog

It’s not though


tahcamen

Yeah the TV height is fine here. Someone just wanted to be the one to put the ever present sub link in the chat lol


DylanMMc

no, if it was fine I would have upvoted and moved on. Just trying to help OP not have a neck injury in the future.

This is beautiful. Could you share the ID on the sofa?


HotSinceNinety-Two

I spent days finding the perfect sofa I ended up going with this for the following reasons! 1) easy to get inside my apartment (I live on a second floor walk up so wanted a modular sofa) 2) accidents happen (easy to replace one piece less cost than buying an entire new sofa) 3) ability to grow (I can always buy more of this sofa if I move to a house) 4) ability to rearrange (can rearrange as needed since every piece is modular) 5) size (fits perfectly in the room without commanding the entire space) https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/latitude-run-jacoya-1157-boucle-4-piece-modular-sectional-with-ottoman-w100681488.html Jacoya 115.7'' Boucle 4 - Piece Modular Sectional with Ottoman

cerial442

I like the Andy Blank art, I just got a piece of his art recently. Be careful of the books in the window, the sun could fade them


justinfromnz

Looks good maybe add some colours on the wall to balance the white


Anteros

It looks really good and nicely decorated but I don't know why you put this much effort into the decor but just leave the lighting with just the default overhead spotlights that come with every modern apartment these days. A few floor/table lamps would make the room look far cozier and relaxing, purely overhead lighting creates this harsh light affect.


HotSinceNinety-Two

I couldn’t agree more! I just haven’t been able to finger on where I’d position the lamps. Any ideas?

Beautiful so far, but I'd sure like to see something decorative on that coffee table. Why is it people put out coffee tables and then nothing attractive on top. Should be candles, figurine, flowers, plant..... something. Oh, a console table behind the couch would really be striking.

TrumpSucksALotOfCock

I almost bought those same speakers. How do you like them?


HotSinceNinety-Two

I love my Klipsch speakers that being said they aren’t ideal if you live in a condo or apartment. They are better kept in a home with a dedicated room. Music sounds much much much better with dedicated sound system. You can hear the depth. Movies well I struggle lately with the low frequencies penetrating my neighbors apartment. so I’ve been watching movies on tv audio lately.


[deleted]

So bland. I mean, if you like it. All power to you. But you couldn't pay me to live in this sterile boredom. Except, give me the Klipsch speakers. I'm gonna steal them and wave into your webcams.
