Not pictured: stool, futon, dartboard.

The idea of a fresh start has always sounded great to me. Finally did it.

This was at my first apartment when I moved out of my parents last year at 22. I’ve recently moved to a nicer place, but I’ll always have these pictures as well as more before I started packing everything. The place wasn’t really nice, but it was priced lower and humbling.

It was cool getting more things over time like a tv, tv stand, couch, and table. I used a mattress box as you can see in pic as tv stand for awhile lol. My parents did let me take the old scratched up bed frame and dresser that was in their attic at least.

Starting over after 13 years going nowhere until I get my ADHD treated because I am so chaotic. So down as I don't know how to live. Life is far to difficult at the point of accepting and giving up.

Renting a room for $500 and working, but feeling disillusioned with domestic life. Going on a backpacking and hiking trip in October and might not come back

I have a tendency to cut and run without much of a plan. Sometimes I get lucky and find a storage space that turns a blind eye, other times I cram it all into my pick up, right now I have a big ole van

24M. It's honestly pretty ergonomic.

reposting in here cus the r/malelivingspace dudes were being a bit critical

Moved out for the first time (21y/o first real job). Very bare, only "improvements" I've made have been to hang blackout cutains and stick my hamper in the bathroom. So it basically looks just like this but dark now. My first trip to IKEA is after this set of shifts and I can stop eating dinner on the side of my futon. Only up from here!

Jax plush was a gift from my brother. Bare Minecraft sheet because it's too hot to have a comforter. Trash bag until I get myself a cabinet. We'll make it work.

I had to get rid of my old bed because there was mold on it. Had it for 10 years.

After days of the Hisense TV sitting on a temporary stand with cables everywhere, finally set it up and cleaned up the media console situation.

Still debating whether to add a soundbar or just live with the built-in speakers for now. They're actually better than I expected for a flatscreen

Console is an IKEA Besta hack, LED strip behind the TV was $15. Plants are fake because I can't keep real ones alive.

Open to suggestions on the speaker situation and anything else that'd make this corner feel more finished.
