Nighttime (little dark):

So this is my apartment. I just got it a month ago. I want to create the ultimate pua place. I already watched the Lovedrop video on apartment makeover which is awsome. I took some of his suggestions.

Anyone suggestions or tips on my place? by the way, at night it looks awsome with good lights and stuff.

- In the center is a lot of space. I need to do something there. Maybe a carpet or something.
- I want to get another sofa
- I'm going to buy a plasma-screen tomorrow
- The thing were my tv is on, is going away. I need a dark-wooden one.
- Next to the bookclousset are my dvds and stuff. I want something to put them out of sight.

- My bed has red light around it. When it's dark it's awsome!
- I placed one light in such a way it creates nice shadows of the plant on the wall
- I tried to create an island at the sofa. I put the carpet there which is amazing warm and soft.
- I hang the branches of a tree on my ceeling with little christmaslights on it.
- I got the relaxing buddha statue and japanese sword.
- I dont want a table in front of my sofa. It messes up the island.. If I place another sofa in front of the other, facing eachother, that would be awsome I think. I could place the TV on the wall, or against the window.

Pretty nice, man. I'd love my own place.
I think the light as you come in is too beight and in your face. I felt blinded just watching the video.
Also, turn your computer monitor off when you're not using it. It's the wrong sort of light for the mood you're trying to create.
Other than that, it looks great. I love the branch on the ceiling and the red lights around the bed.

Agreed with Action. The lighting is too powerful try some softer lighting and some ambient lighting as well.

I think you could also get rid of quite a few things and/or buy some classier matching furniture to make it seem more flowing and together then a bunch of random pieces here and there.

Possibly some candles
scratch that
definitely some candles

You just have too many themes going on in your apartment and they don't really compliment each other very well.

My thoughts
either run with the funky look with the rope light bed and make your pad into a more funky look
or class it up a bit and get soem real pieces of furniture

which is hard to do with a little budget if thats your case but there are ways, there are ways

i love it....

you have some great points of interest around the place whihc are great talking points...

talking points are key
you guitar, your dvds/ books are easily accessible for a talking point which everyone loves, the gun, and of course the gun on th ewall... oh - and the branch in th eroof is unreal!!!!

i see there were pictures on the ground... get them up!!! i have heaps of pictures of my family, papyrus pictures that i got in egypt, paintings of the sistine chapel from when i was there etc.... and pictues of friends- these make it feel very homely and comfy - for you and her....

apart from that - i think its super cool... nice one man
