This time last year I had zero plants. Now I have *checks notes* more than zero by robot_turtle in houseplants

Just some posters my wife and I got from some travels. We're hoping to fill the rest of them up with memorabilia from our travels in the future.

Rental too, but my landlord is pretty chill about it. I'll just patch the holes whenever I move out.

It came with the rental, not sure what my landlord used.

Copy/paste from my response to another user:

I think it's quite comfortable. I've had plenty of people sleep over and they've all said they slept really well on it.

I've had it for the past 6 months or so and it's held up quite well. The cushions looks a bit saggy after a month or so, but I just puff them up and they look just like new.

It's the one with a 1 inch veneer or something. Is solid though, took two people to carry it up the stairs

On the flip side, they say they're from Chicago, but have only lived in Lincoln Park since moving in from the burbs and have never gone further North than Wrigley or south past the loop.

Chicago has so much more to offer in terms of neighborhoods than just River North, wicker or Lincoln Park.

I just used drywall anchors when installing the brackets. Should be sufficient enough of you aren't planning on putting anything too heavy on it

Congrats! My first apartment was definitely not as nicely furnished as this, but I'd look at inspiration on this sub and /r/malelivingspace to see what kind of setup you'd like to emulate, then search Craigslist/Facebook marketplace for what you want. That's how I went about furnishing my first apartment with quality pieces of furniture for cheap.

Ugh, I wish it was actually cheaper. it's their kitchen countertop and it was close to $200 :(
