A stereotypical BRO pose! tongue


Pics of My New Place

OK so I am not FULLY finished yet! I still have to fill all the holes in the walls from the previous roomie and then paint, then grab some wall art and be done!... but here is what it looks like so far!

BEFORE

SPOILERS! (Click to view)


(just trying to shove ALL the stuff I brought into the room was a struggle)


(making a path and organizing things)


(making more of a path... AND WHO THE FUCK PUTS POTATO SACKS OVER A WINDOW?!!!)


(things are starting to move into place)


(the rest of the potato sack fiasco... ugg these are definitely coming down for some natural light)



AFTER

SPOILERS! (Click to view)


(testings new roller blinds, BUT they are see-through?!!!! new gameplan coming up)


(VIOLA! Frosted the lower portion of the windows for privacy and STILL get all the natural light)


(added a new IKEA locker style cart as a side table, ALWAYS think outside the box to make things fun and interesting... works perfectly for a nightstand)


(different kind of locker style cart for my other nighstand)


(new IKEA wardrobe works perfect and the blinds look great, still need to lose all the boxes up top)


(new light winter bedding... soooooooooooo comfortable!)


(package from Crate & Barrel... what could it be?!!!)


(new Crate & Barrel bedding... knocks me out when I hit the pillow!)


(example of the color concept that I will be using to paint my room)


(second example of the color concept I will be using to paint my room)



Alright, COMPLETELY FINISHED room pics will come as soon as the paint is up and everything is looking tip top!

And some of you are probably asking yourself "WTF, why is a DUDE bothering with all that work on a bachelor's room?". And here is your answer, because not only does this room function as my bedroom but also as my personal office... I have to spend hours designing in this room so it has to be something that works with my eyes (which is definitely a big factor as a graphic designer) and doesn't distract me or make me want to leave. So clean and elegant it is for my eyes anyway.

Extra News (just to get it all out there)

1) I AM A SENIOR AS OF THE END OF THIS SEMESTER!!!!!!!! ONLY A YEAR TO GO AND I'LL BE DONE!

2) SLICED MY FINGER OPEN MAD CRAZY STYLE WHILE FROSTING THE WINDOWS. THOUGHT I WOULD NEED STITCHES BUT I JUST TOUGHED IT OUT AND IT FINALLY STOPPED BLEEDING.

3) SAN FRANCISCO IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE ON EVERY LEVEL! SO MANY NEW FRIENDS AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES OPENING UP DAILY. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE TO COME HERE.

4) MAJORITY OF MY ROOMIES ARE MOVING! SUCKS BUT THE NICE THING IS I GET TO PICK ALL OF THE PEOPLE I WANT IN THE HOUSE AND WILL FINALLY GET TO REDESIGN AND CLEAN UP THE REST OF THE PLACE.

5) KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MY NEW WEBSITE AND BLOG! YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE MORE OF MY PORTFOLIO AND DESIGN WORK UPDATED FREQUENTLY.

Alright that is an information overload.... lol I hope you enjoy it! How are all of you doing out there?

hey, thanks for the input and compliments, its good to think that i'm already turning some heads on this site with not much to show for it so far.. but all in due time.
Pin up photography has never been something i've really done so i'm kinda excited to take a shot at it, and have resources for it now. So heres hopin.

I noticed that you bought the domain for dastardly designs which is funny because thats the same exact name I used back when i had a design 'company', haha i even have some business cards for it.. but I changed my name when I dropped the graphic design aspect and grouped up with another photographer, so have fun with it.
