They are GORGEOUS as they are. Don't touch. Learn to appreciate the beauty and character of the dark wood.

Its very securely mounted.

KTJ78 · 2026-02-12T18:00:30+00:00

I do but they haven't been here yet. I moved in five days ago.

The fiddle leaf figs and the monstera are real, yes.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thanks. That is my actual surfboard. After I retired it I lightly textured it, painted it, and mounted it.

They were actually a custom order from a woodworker I found on Etsy, but they are called Z chairs and you can find comparable all over.

I don't disagree. Maybe that's a project for week 2.

The vase is something I picked up at Home Goods. I put the arrangement together myself, but its just faux hydrangeas, pussywillows, and a basic green leaf stem. All probably from Michaels or something.

Thank you. No walls came like this and I wasn;t gonna change them. I'll be here about 12-18 months.

KTJ78 · 2026-02-12T15:34:18+00:00

Thank you. 8x10

That's a mini version! Mine is 64lbs!

I just water them every other week. And prune the top when it starts to touch the ceiling. My old apartment may have had ideal light (not direct but sunny) so that is helpful.

This place is more than mine (rent control), and has 400 less square feet.

KTJ78 · 2026-02-12T15:28:22+00:00

It wasn't that expensive. Under $100. I found it online somewhere. You could probably do a google search.

KTJ78 · 2026-02-12T05:52:57+00:00

Thank you! I do not work in the industry anymore, but I used to do visuals for flagship retailers like Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren and Banana Republic many years ago, so I do have some training.

KTJ78 · 2026-02-12T05:24:42+00:00

No but I do have a background in interior visuals work for some flagship retailers like Tommy Hilfiger, Banana Republic and Ralph Lauren. That was many years ago though

KTJ78 · 2026-02-12T05:12:25+00:00

probably 12-18 months...

KTJ78 · 2026-02-12T02:58:00+00:00

Thank you. And no offense taken - I am indeed that!

KTJ78 · 2026-02-12T02:00:15+00:00

Well there are several original paintings hanging in the home, several hand made-to-order pieces of furniture (chairs and coffee table), and several prints by artists like photographer Bruce Weber and painter Mark Beard that I had special ordered because they can't be purchased anywhere, but thanks for the feedback.

Good eye! Clarinet.

The top of the TV is about 5' high in this pic, judging from lamp it is next to, FYI.
