Alright..I’ve been on a home decor binge for a little bit now. I figure, a bedroom tells a woman alot about a man eh? Not only that, since I sleep, fuck, use my computer and hang out in here, its kinda cool to keep it nice huh?
Thats my temple, my chill spot, the place I bring girls back, where I lay my head at, where I’m typing in. My bedroom is more like my living room, especially since I live with my pops and my house is more or less shit in all respects except in here where it looks more like an art deco spaceship fantasy world.
I got color changing eaglelight mood lights, a blacklight, psychedelic blacklight posters, laser projectors, full length mirrors on the walls (which I robbed from the trash, but who gives a shit, it looks phat and balling on a budget is my mantra)…Wanna get some new furniture and shit make it look pimp in here. Or pimper. And figure, one day I’ll move out and take most of my shit with me, right, so it can’t hurt to pimp my place out, make it look good. If your house looks good, figure you’ll look better too, at least a little huh? Every little bit helps, I think.
Anyway..Went to a bowling alley, and they had blacklights that lit up the paneling in the lanes. It was a pretty sick effect. I’m aware lots of hardwoods will glow in differing ways to different effect under blacklight..I’m looking to put down some flooring and get rid of this raggedy stained and worn out blue carpet I have had for 7-8 years now. It holds onto cat hair, smells (specifically pot) and dirt, all around its a pain in my ass, we don’t even have a vacuum cleaner here, I have to sweep the damn thing, a wood floor would be much easier to keep clean I think. Would help the ambiance too. Its just ‘cleaner’ I think. Well..
Point is, anyone have any ideas of a good wood to use for this purpose? I could probably just finish it with something that’ll help it glow, but I’d like the wood itself to have a glow to it, why polish a turd, ya know? Spend my money right the first time..I have no idea about what woods I could use..Its confusing, and all I’ve found on the internet is how to find cat piss on the floor with a blacklight and that woods with high b vitamin content will glow, what those are but black sumac and myrtle, which I doubt I could afford a floor in, idk. Its pissing me off. I’d rather not ask the manager at the bowling place, I spose I could do that though lol
Well anyway, I have links for you folks too, maybe we can all brainstorm here. I ain’t much of a decorator..Been surfing IKEA and the internet for shit to pimp my room out with too. Any ideas are appreciated, and suggestions on wood floors to use would be a premium to me, its probably expensive as shit to put down a new floor..I really don’t wanna fuck it up, lot of money to put down just to not be satisfied with it, and I can’t take the floor with me when I move out ![]()
Mathmos Lights - USA and Canada Shop only
gonna get this space projector thing eventually..It looks pretty cool, its not insane or nothing, but for the money its trippy enough to satisfy my purposes
lol I wants to get this, fill it with glow in the dark/under blacklight dye and have a wall fountain with glowing water. How cool would that be?
And no living space could be complete without a decent sound system! I enjoy listening to music while watching tv where they talk about music while music is being played in the backround..
Fiber optic lighting for the ceiling, make stars and shit..I can’t really use it in my room due to physical contraints, I’d have to lay down a drop in tile ceiling, thats just not gonna happen, but maybe you guys would like to use this idea? I have a laser star projector already, its pretty dope as it is..Maybe one day for me years from now when I have a home ![]()
Wildfire, Inc. - Wallpaper, Starlight, Invisible
Might spend some money on this..idk for sure, wanna buy their glow in the dark dye for a wall fountain someday and their particular brand of blacklight, I got stars enough though, maybe those flourescent stick on ones would be cheaper anyway.
IKEA | Extra covers | EKTORP | EKTORP | Corner sofa 2+2 slipcover
I might put down for this corner sofa, its cheap as shit basically, and might fit in my room perfect. As of right now instead I have a futon I use as a sofa when I have guests.
IKEA | TV & media solutions | TV solutions for flatscreen TVs up to 37" | BESTÅ | TV storage combo with sliding doors
this I guess would be my entertainment center/computer workstation sorta, not sure about this though, the tv would be awfully low down, I think I’d like it higher up..eventually I’m gonna go wireless with the mouse and keyboard, so it doesn’t matter so much where the computer is, so long as it works!
other thoughts:
-need a cheap indoor not-wall-unit air conditioner, preferably high powered, any suggestions? Not willing to spend more than 400$ on it though
-Need a decent flatscreen tv..or an LCD computer monitor that can function similarly..thinking about settling for this Newegg.com - Asus VG236H 23" 2ms 1920x1080 Full HD 120Hz 3D multimedia Height & Swivel Adjustbale WideScreen LCD Monitor w/nVidia 3D Vision Kit hard bundle 400 cd/m2 100,000:1 (ASCR)
its gotta be dual function..for my computer and for cable. I’d be willing to spend a G on it..Any ideas here are appreciated, I haven’t a friggen clue about shopping for TVs at all, but I do need to ball on a budget a little, either way, my priority is to spend my money right the first time rather than settle cheap and work my way up to something more expensive. Rather to spend alot of money once and be satisfied then have to take care of this later in life. Do something right the first time and you won’t have to do it again, right?
-any ideas on track lighting? Curtains too..Chicks like curtains, I think ![]()
IKEA | Textiles | Curtain rods & rails | Track systems
the kvartal thing looks like something I could set up in here..
-a spacy/modern looking ceiling fan is something I’m interested in too..
-blacklight/psychedelic poster ideas I’d love. I just splurged once I got the blacklight, didn’t put much though into it, bought some crappy posters on amazon, they’re nice, but I’m looking for something really…High quality. Something stunning and eye popping!! help me out people!!
-painting. thinking about a kinda midnight purple/red trim idea here…I’m a scorpio. colors that will go with wood..idk. i’m not a decorator, I have no idea here, just guess work. thinking about a metallic finish, they have new paints now cheap like that..Something dynamic, make the room bright, reflect the lights I got in here well..I might even sponge on some phosphorescent paint afterwards for dimension, idk. Ideas are welcome!! Right now its very very very blue in here..I don’t hate on that though. Blues fine too..
-plants! wanna put some plants in here, plants that smell nice and I wanna get some kind of vine, actually thinking about banisteriopsis caapi (the vine of the dead/spirits, half of ayahuasca lol), have it grow up my wall add life to this place..though I have no idea how to accomplish this at all. Want some life in here in addition to all the artifice and synthetic techno shit I have..I’m about balance to ya know
Anyway. Hit me up with ideas people. And if you want, I can give suggestions on making your room/home a psychedelic trip pad that girls swoon over. they really do btw, maybe its a little childish/immature in here, what with the glowing ceiling, strobing color changing club effect lighting and laser projector, but who gives a shit, girls love it, if there’s a universal truth, girls love being entertained, and my room is enter-friggen-taining in and of itself so that girls have something to look at when I’m not pleasuring them..Not only that, tripping in my room is the most amazing experience. Its like another world in here..I guess thats what I was going for. My house is shit..You walk into my room though and its like actually nice. Its my personal space in here..Eh. I’ve only spent like 300 so far and already its pretty dope in here, alot doper than it was before…Its not as expensive as you’d think to make a room psychedelic.
Hit me up people!! I’d LOVE feedback..I’ve never really decorated anything or bought furniture/tvs/whatever before, so I’m new at this..therefore advice would be very helpful in my circumstance. Maybe I’ll put some pics up if I can so you guys can have an idea of what i’m looking at if there’s feedback..Ideas on entertaining women, shit they’d like, idk, things that’ll leave an impression..whatever..Help me out
thanks people
