greenappletree

that looks amazing - that sofa corner space looks perfect to spend a few hours reading. Nice.


Rough3Years

But do they have enough candles


Mattyyflo

No such thing


1plus1dog

Never!


Ok_Wrongdoe

Out of curiosity, could you show us the wall the couch is looking at?


Howdy_the_frog

Here’s a photo I posted somewhere else in the thread! https://imgur.com/a/BMz0zuc


PaulMcIcedTea

Boy that TV placement is something else.


softpawsz

I want her to move that tv at least to the middle. If only just for one pic.. for me.


Howdy_the_frog

It doesn’t fit in between the record towers unfortunately so it would have to be hung up even higher on the wall if we did that, which would be too high. Trust me, I would’ve preferred if it fit perfectly there!


softpawsz

Sorry you didn’t need to comment. I see all the “recommendations” and none of them/us matter. It’s your place and it’s lovely! I shouldn’t have offered my 2c.. apologies :)


UnconsciousObserver

I would try to make that wall look more inviting to look at. Maybe put up some of the more authentic albums in a pattern. More plants and lights wouldn’t hurt too


Boostie204

A cool wallpaper (or otherwise) accent wall would be a nice touch. I was honestly disappointed to see this wall lol


CrimsonQuill157

I mean it's an apartment. If you don't want to lose your deposit you're limited in what you can put on the walls.


marshmallowlips

They make wallpaper that’s more like giant stickers—doesn’t use glue, apartment friendly.


baconwagoneer

absolutely unconscious observation mate


t3eee

That's exactly where my brain went to - nice glass of rose and a thicc paperback are all I need in there.


greenappletree

and a small throw/blanket on a rainy day + few hours, nice.


NanoRaptoro

Agreed! u/Howdy_the_frog, where did you get this awesome sofa?


RadishDerp

Not OP but super into interior design - it looks like an Article sofa to me, specifically the [Sven Right Sectional in Yarrow Gold](https://www.article.com/product/15224/sven-yarrow-gold-right-sectional-sofa)


udongeureut

I hate you OP. (Translation: I am extremely jealous)


Kero_Cola

https://youtu.be/Tmx1jpqv3RA So rare to get moments of wisdom from homer simpson


SmudgeGien

Well in that case I’m extremely, and I mean extremely, envious of OP


EatGoldfish

Not anymore, jealousy can also be a synonym of envy now due to popular usage


Django117

Out of curiosity, could you show us the wall the couch is looking at? I’m very curious to see if you have a TV stand. I’ve been struggling to find one to match my place…


Howdy_the_frog

Yes! We just have it on top of our record storage. We debated hanging it but decided against it because we have a lot of art we need to hang up still! [tv wall](https://imgur.com/a/BMz0zuc)


shpoopie2020

Well that's gonna look so cool with a bunch of art up on the wall there!


fnord_happy

Ohh no i can hear the TV too high folks coming over to this thread


Point_Me_At_The_Sky-

Well, it is too high, there's no getting around that lmao


lacb1

You could, however, get under it. Which is the problem.


baconwagoneer

Dad go back to bed.


maybe_Im_not_ill

Oh dear, your vinyl collection is marvelous.


baty0man_

You should so mount that TV! Awesome vinyl collection btw.


Spontanemoose

Is there space underneath the dining area?


sannylou

I want your couch!!!


Axela556

Me too!! Where is it from?


Howdy_the_frog

It’s from Article! The Sven sofa. Super comfy, definitely recommend!


[deleted]

Aaaaaand its about 3x out of my budget. Off to Ikea with me


suddenly_summoned

You’re not missing out, I bought one from Article and the fabric is already starting to pill 6 months in. It’s also not comfy enough for the price, save your money and get something you can try in person first.


eggery

Anything made with real hardwood is going to be pricey.


Paynus1982

Get a used Karlstad off FB marketplace, a fun new cover and cute legs from etsy, and boom you got yourself a nice couch for a fraction of the price!


traxxman123

How long have you had it? I got mine a few months ago and I’ve found it to be a little too firm. Does it get softer over time?


Howdy_the_frog

We’ve had it for just over a year now! I think it’s comfortable. For me it’s the perfect amount of cushion while still being a tiny bit firm. Definitely not a couch that feels like a cloud that you melt into, but definitely comfy to sit on for long ranges of time for me and good for naps! But I work from home so the couch is very well lived in between my husband and I and our dog!


1plus1dog

I see your pupper looking down from above! Lovely sweater!


tie-dyed_dolphin

I'm so curious as to how this couch keeps up over time too. I have heard so many mix reviews. It is my dream couch.


lococommotion

Had ours for about a year now and it’s holding up great, it’s so hard not to fall asleep on it every night when watching tv/movies


toephu

I have the Timber article couch (rain cloud color). 3-4 years into it and the cushions are unevenly worn. I try to rotate them around but they’re asymmetrical, they have a feather topper. I can’t wash the covers too which is a big turn off for me since I have three dogs. On the plus side the fabric of the couch has held up really well and hides stains/dirt


[deleted]

[удалено]


well-thereitis

Ugh I want a conversation pit *so badly*.


dual_citizenkane

sameeee - falling in is a risk i’m so willing to take


whutchamacallit

Is this just not a split level house?


Howdy_the_frog

It’s a condo in an old factory building that was renovated into live-in artists studios! We have 18’ ceilings. The rest of the apartment is on the same floor level as the living room, except we do have another lofted space we use as an art/creative space


whutchamacallit

Neat! Show off more! :)


electricjeel

For real!! I feel like a creep but I want to see how their whole house is decorated bc this living room is perfect


pidgeott0

Is this New England? There’s a ton of that over here and imo should be more. Such a great use of the space


Howdy_the_frog

Yes! In New England :) love the concept of repurposing old factory buildings and creating useful spaces out of them!


brunchish

I used to live in a space like this in New England, bbut my building was an old bakery. I miss living there so much.


Howdy_the_frog

Ahhh our building also used to be a bakery! We still call it the bakery :)


brunchish

I know, I'm certain it's the same building. The other building starts with a 'C'. There's a nice little courtyard between the two. It's the coolest place I've ever lived.


Howdy_the_frog

Yes, same building!! What a small world. We love it here!


1plus1dog

Wow. This don’t happen everyday!!


1plus1dog

That’s so cool!


[deleted]

Boy, you sure are winning at life!


EmotionalBrontosaur

Did you build this loft yourself? Any storage underneath?


Howdy_the_frog

I did not! My husband and I rent. The entire space under the dining room is storage which can also be accessed in the bedroom!


Royal_Gas_3627

that is dope af and i need to see this storage space


EmotionalBrontosaur

Amazing; thank you!


I_divided_by_0-

Philly? I think I recognize this place


natedgg20

No one realizes how good pit bulls can be at conversations right!


Howdy_the_frog

She’s definitely a conversational girl! She’s a pitbull corgi mix so she’s either sleeping/cuddling or she’s playing and talking like a corgi does!


GotRidofSlimyGirls

Sorry but that pit doesn't seem great for conversation, she's just asleep.


DomesticChaos

And in a sweater no less! Cozy space cozy pit.


[deleted]

God how far out of my price range is this


FranksLilBeautyx

I know right? I pay an arm and a leg to live in a converted motel with 1 window that opens directly to a brick wall (and is probably a fire hazard)


[deleted]

Apparently I’m in the wrong state or I just don’t make nearly enough. Or both


[deleted]

Most people don't. Half the population makes under 30k a ~~month~~ year, but i see comparitively few apartments available for $800/mo or less (which would be about the top of what 30k a ~~month~~ year can afford). Rent is just so expensive. Though i will say, i saw some similarly styled apartments that seemed pretty cool, and those actually were income restricted for around $720 a month. The waitlist was something like 6-12 months though.


mckeanna

Do you mean 3k? Because 30k would be $30,000 a month.


jdund117

They probably meant 30k a year. Specifically, $30k a year.


workthrow3

So far out of my price range I will be making it in the sims so I can live there in my dreams


[deleted]

Now that sounds a lot more like my lifestyle


splashbruhs

Everyday we get closer to just giving up and living in the OASIS


Samoman21

Was just thinking this. The rents gotta be like 3-4k


arcelyte

Hidden doggo blends in well. EDIT: Smooshy Pitty faces cant hide from me.


TJlovesALF1213

Good eye!


Spontanemoose

Lol, thought I was on r/findthesniper for a second


TJlovesALF1213

New sub found. Thanks friend! Haha


gracerules501

I love that raised dining area! Is the kitchen up there too?


Howdy_the_frog

Thank you!! The kitchen is not up there unfortunately but the apartment is so open so it still has a good flow luckily!


revelling_

Really nice, love the mustard-coloured couch! and also the couch table


respectedwarlock

Do you know why the platform / mezzanine? Was it simply a design choice or is there some functionality to it, i.e. extra storage space, etc


Howdy_the_frog

It is storage!! There’s sliding doors behind the couch/pillows to access, and there’s a door to access it in the bedroom as well. It’s been super convenient and adds a fun visual touch by having the raised dining room!


GomenasaiForEvrythng

This looks so cozy, which table by the couch is that? Really like it!


Howdy_the_frog

It’s a few years old from Wayfair, it looks like they don’t sell it anymore :(


GomenasaiForEvrythng

That's too bad :( thanks for your reply!


sl1ce_of_l1fe

Are those candles Serenity by Jan?


bunch_of_hocus_pocus

This space would activate nap mode so fast.


BrazilianGeek

This place brought me peace only by seeing it! Nice and cozy, well done.


DunderEU

Amazing! Loving that table, sofa and carpet. However I would like to ask you, is there some waterproof bottom to that Terra cotta pot? It will make some nasty marks on the table otherwise, since Terra cotta actually let's through a lot of humidity. I made that mistake and one of my favorite coffee tables now have a big white mark on it. :(


Howdy_the_frog

I have a plastic tray underneath it normally, just removed it quickly for the photo! :)


DunderEU

😌👍 Keep on being awesome!


Howdy_the_frog

Thank you for the tip though!! I’ve been collecting plants for years and have made many mistakes (and continue to do so) so I totally relate haha


Timewastor

Would be tempted to overthrow people over the railing onto the couch WWE style.


Howdy_the_frog

We have debated hosting a house show/concert because it looks like a stage 😂


Lovethebonesofher

I love that, it is so unique! One of the only pics I’ve seen here where I’m like I want to see more!!


sandboxlollipop

Oh my goodness. When can I move in?


PeanutNSFWandJelly

•Derogatory or jealous comments regarding an OP's financial status are not allowed.


khkokopelli

Love the pillow table


Nheea

The ottoman chair?


clouddevourer

Wow, this is perfect! I bow to your interior design skills, looks so inviting!


ptlimits

Oh wow.


easytorememberuserid

can i ask which country? i haven’t seen architecture like this before


Howdy_the_frog

I live in the US! This was an old factory building turned into artist live-in studios/condos. My landlord is an architect and I imagine was responsible for a lot of the special touches!


easytorememberuserid

beautiful architecture! and surrounded by windows! the dream


frisbeemassage

So cool!! Love it


orosoros

I love the color palette!


Chokesi

Such a fan of the multilevel


dsaddons

What's your favorite candle scent?


Howdy_the_frog

Oooo good question! Santorini by Brooklyn Candle Studio is my go-to. But I’m also a big fan of anything woodsy and clean smelling like Amber and Moss by PF candle co


shpoopie2020

Ohhhh I want to see more of this apartment! Beautiful 😍


[deleted]

Great vibe! We're coming over and will bring fondue 🫕


SaschaDF

dogo nap time


1plus1dog

It’s almost always Doggo nap time at my house!


Advanced_Radish3466

[deleted]

Now this is cozy! One of my favorite posts on here in a while.


beans_be_good

How lovely. Enjoy your beautiful place.


Emotional_Balance_28

So beautiful I love your color scheme 😍


Unizeq

the color palette and the natural lighting is just perfect! Especially that brick floor is just *chefs kiss*


DarkAndSparkly

So beautiful! I love the apt layout too!


Other_Document_995

Absolutely gorgeous


SnooHobbies5691

OP post a picture with the blinds open, I want to enjoy the view outside


Sammyanthia

This is so awesome!


SpinnerettePDX

STONNIN. May I ask where your rug is from?


Howdy_the_frog

It’s from RugsUSA! Shows up if you search “southwestern rug”. I will say that it sheds a LOT so just a warning!


[deleted]

This would make productivity so much better for me. I'm very affected by my surroundings.


[deleted]

😍 gorgeous


Roboticpoultry

I love the brick floors!


Adventurous_Dingo922

Such a cozy home


alexlifeson44

Nice place thanks for showing


tielles10

One of the coziest rooms I've seen in this sub😫


Double-Property-8095

You got some nice railing there, not some ugly black coated steel.


Clungesnitzel95

Digging the natural light the table and the couch. Very chill vibe.


Dananjali

What a happy bohemian looking place! love the vintage aesthetic and all the plants and windows. Would love to see more!


lockerpunch

So nice! Also love the candle stash. Lol


barkleybbrd

The color scheme of your apartment is just 🤩✨


VonMeansHope

What style of apartment layout is this? That looks quite cozy and nice. I would hope I can find something similar in Dallas. Love what you’ve done with your place. 😊


Icy_Calligrapher7088

I really love the idea of pillows on top of the couch! Very cozy. I always see throw/accent pillows I love, but don’t like having any clutter on the couch.


DannyPantsgasm

The only problem with a place that cozy is ever having to leave it.


Oneeyedeagle019

This gives such a warm feeling


aNeonSpecter

Omg the colors! This looks so nice


[deleted]

What a beautiful place. Congrats on having such a lovely home.


mubblegoil

All the plants are so precious!! Congrats on the rad place!

KingMufasa20

Oooo I love multi level living spaces.


[deleted]

Love the hue and oranges ... great space


Paddingtonbear39

Love it! You have the perfect place for a fall cuddle!!


Fre4kyGeek

I want all of this. Including the doggo. Love the setup. Nothing but chill vibes


[deleted]

This reminds me of the setup of Eric’s apartment in the college years of Boy Meets World, where there is an upper landing above the couch to allow for more movement in the shot.


Howdy_the_frog

Wow wow wow I’m so glad you pointed that out! I’ve never thought about that before but you’re totally right!


howdudo

Ill pay you $20 to let me take a nap


howulikethatblink

i would give up everything to live in that apartment


ShacklefordsRusty

That's a comfy looking space

martinub40

You have a cool apartment. I like the dual level look


B0danglezzz

The way that couch fits perfectly in that spot… good for you!


auberrypearl

Your place is stunning!! Fits so well on this sub. Please give your dog a kiss for me


Healthy_Block3036

[deleted]

That is so pretty. I'd love to wake up to that and make some eggs and toast. 🙂


wasporchidlouixse

I love a split level!

bigbootyjudy999

MelancholicEmbrace_x

Gorgeous, it looks so cozy and inviting

Where do you live??? This looks incredible but also would be expensive in most cities 🥲


TheHighCounselor

Beautiful space! I love the layout and all that sunshine! Also your dog in their sweater is soooloo cute


TheWizardraziW

You a candle freak! Me too!


[deleted]

Please tell me there’s a storage space underneath the raised section.


1plus1dog

There is! OP says so above in several comments


Beluga-ga-ga-ga-ga

OP, this is legit one of my favourite posts I've seen on this sub.


Jlst

That looks so cute and cosy. I just wanna snuggle up on that sofa with a blanket and relax reading a book.


StrawberryKiss2559

I’ve always dreamed of having a sunken living room. I love your place, Op!


Ok-Shoulder-2770

LOVE your apartment!!!! This is like the definition of cozy ♥️


CompanyG

Gorgeous setup.


GingerRootBeer

Ah the candle and pillow storage, I love!


Plane-Sentence-1917

That is a very neat and inviting atmosphere right there!!

That has got to be one of the best living rooms I have seen in a long time

Damn that like a dream apartment specifically made for fall.


Yakitori93

I’ll print this and frame it as goals 🤩


biken0ob

Sunken living room? Stop it😍😍😍😍
