my first flat (im a student)

Well ive just started renting my first house, im a AV fan but cant really have a huge amp and surround at the minute due to budget and being second floor.

anyway some before pics

Living Room its 7.4m x 4m at wide point 3.5m elsewhere

Eww Nice Colour Eh


Bedroom its 3.5m x 4m roughly

Bit Blue for me


Wont bother with kitchen and bathroom as they are basic lol

anyway after a lick of paint

Living Room

Bit better and yes my beds in the living room as i had just painted bedroom moved now lol



seating is temp though as ive more seats than space was gonna buy 2/3 seater just for me and GF but blagged the sofas in picture for free

Half living room is for living other half is gonna for PC and study area

Bedroom with feature wall (GF with that idea can you tell)





Wall Mount Arrived





Next:

Put AV gear DVD player and Consoles in units and get replacement brackets for missing door
Custom Cooling for units and AV gear (paycheck needed to buy bits)
Carpet and Decor to finish room
Rearrange seating
Internet and Phone (need line activated)
Possibly an amp and speakers depending on noise levels

Gear:
Toshiba 46XF
Toshiba Upscaling DVD
2x Xbox 360 (1 elite and 1 Standard)
Pioneer Surround Packed Up for now
Custom built PC
Toshiba Lappy
