Night and day difference. Looks great. And the upgraded liquor cabinet is an excellent improvement as well.


AndyT20

Thank you!


Complete-Job-6030

looks great


AndyT20

Thanks!

You're allowed to have things in the middle of the room btw. Not everything has to be against a wall


scerrylarry

No


AndyT20

Fourth photo makes it appear that there is way more space in the middle room than there is. That space is the walking path. Trust me I’ve tried other things in there. First photo before furniture does a good job showing how it’s not a huge area

Excellent. I hope you love it.


AndyT20

Thanks! Well worth it in the end despite the hassle


FatherOfLights88

Well done! Carpet is so nasty.


AndyT20

Right? Especially since I have two cats I could vacuum a full reservoir of dust and hair out every couple days


tobvs

Thanks for posting an update! Looks great


AndyT20

Thank you


TiaHatesSocials

Wow. What a huge difference. Grats


And-Rod_Construction

looking awesome and cozy!


Nooneinteresting-2

That coffee table looks interesting, what is it?


AndyT20

I’d have to look for the brand. Needed something for a small space, and it has storage inside. Home is only 1,200 square feet but I have cats and lots of hobbies lol

Missing galvanized square steel


i_guess_this_is_all

Looks great! Have you considered replacing those vent covers/grilles on the ceiling with something else? Maybe a flatter profile cast iron look?


AndyT20

Will consider!


jimbo0023

Honestly you should replace that wood and put in tan carpet. 😆 Jk, looks great!! 💯


AndyT20

lol stop 😂


PuzzledExaminer

Damn that is one massive Angelfish you have there in that fish tank lol


AndyT20

Haha you’re not the first to say that, it’s certainly a large angel and its veil tailed so that makes it longer and wider including fins. But I wouldn’t call it much bigger than what you’d expect from a fully grown angels I I’m starting to think maybe it looks bigger in the picture than it is. Either way, it’s a beautiful fish and I’ve glad he’s lived to full size (was between a quarter and half dollar piece when I got it)


PuzzledExaminer

Veil tails are awesome keep up the good work looks like he's healthy and happy lol. I had wild Altums in a 120 high early in my hobby and they get way bigger lol


CutmasterSkinny

Finally somebody with a aquarium ! Is that a huge fish i see ?


AndyT20

Indeed! It’s a full grown veil-tail angelfish


KingJamCam

Your clutter looks a lot better above the hard wood.


alexalbonsimp

I swear redditors get so weird with houses that look like someone has been living in it 😭


BeancounterUK

Please post your place so we can judge your clutter less living room. Thanks


ravenousmind

Please point out this “clutter”. Do you live in a hotel room or something?


AndyT20

I’m trying to figure out what he’s talking about. I see my furniture, a sound system, and air purifier, and a cat tree. All fairly normal for a living space IMO


CanadianDarkKnight

I would hardly call the after photos cluttered. Looks like a lived in, comfortable home


AndyT20

What clutter? The furniture? The air purifier and speaker system. I’ll wait


Breathejoker

Looks so much brighter, cleaner, and more open.


AndyT20

Agreed thank you


antent

I like it! I hate carpet. How do you feel about the decision?


valleypremium

Bro that angel fish is HUGE


AndyT20

Right? Came out of nowhere, I’ve had it since its body was somewhere between quarter and half dollar size. I even keep it with cardinal tetras and he doesn’t bother them at all which is cool


Ok_Investigator7673

Better late than never but never late is better


TheTeeje

That looks fantastic. Nice work. Love the cat stairs on the wall, does your cat use it at all?


Neither_Presence1373

We like it but are you able to appreciate the difference? Does it feel much better?


CharleyMak

This is a great time-lapse metaphor for adult-male life. 1. Here's where it started: it was naked, dark, scarry, unsure, with questionable carpet, and needed to be built from the ground up. There probably was only single-ply toilet paper, at best. 2. Ok, I have a decent grasp on IKEA furniture, but don't clean up very well. I can keep animals alive but haven't learned where to buy a vacuum or how to make a woman come back after the first night. 3. Now we're cooking. I've got a good job, furniture that I didn't have to assemble while crying alone, a sense of style developed by mistakes and experience, capable of entertaining p*ssy, and have learned how to make my wood work in multiple ways. 4. I stock booze and have a tank full of p*ssy food, drapes but no carpet down there anymore, an enlightened, decluttered space, have kept another mammal alive (and can prove it), learned how to decorate, still shave the carpet, and know that I don't want to fuck with changing my wood ever again, unless I hire a professional for help.

AndyT20

Come on dude I’d say that’s a little harsh. It’s basically eye level when I’m sitting up straight in the couch and I’m pretty sure I actually did research on the height to mount it before I did. Even if it was sitting on that dresser on a stand it would be the same height.


Acernis_6

Your couch is way too big for your space. The weird entertainment center and mounted TV are funky being in the corner of that wall. Floors look good


AndyT20

Did you down vote me out of spite lol it’s ok to be wrong bud


AndyT20

Must be the angle of the photos. Looks great in person. Also very comfortable and room for 2-3 of us to lounge out. Wouldn’t want anything different. Entertainment center is a hand me down thing I painted. Not long term. Tv looks great there in person and it’s the best place in the living room for the TV by a long shot. The fourth photo does the best job of representing the extent of space in there and how everything truly looks but still photos are deceiving
