That looks absoutely beuatiful Tim with your tasty contempory decorum . That would not look to good at my place. Wouldn't fit in with the overall look of my house. All gothic furniture , very dark wood through out , dark carpeting and natural wood , it looks like a place before electricy was used..like a time wrap 1890's ..

But I must say it looks GREAT at your place!!!

I had to sell all our brand new furniture when we moved here ..it was nice but way too "contemporary" it looked bad..I don't have a "cozy" looking home.. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Horns,
Can you rent me a room?
I want to be your guitar skills/cool attitude apprentice.

When I bought my first house the first piece of furniture that went in was the pool table, followed closely by the pinball machine, juke box, & bar. All, naturally, went right up front in the "formal living room". I threw a little party not long after and when I opened the door for a couple of women from work that I didn't know very well one looked around the front room, spied the toys, looked at her friend and said, "Obviously this one is single."

That's why mine are locked safely in their own room. I cringe at the thought of what my little ones would do. [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

My wife would like me to have a few scattered around the house but I don't do it. I keep all of my stuff in one room (other than the cases).

Wrong. I've got two kids. They've never messed up my guitars. And I let them play anything they want as long as they ask. Although I must admit that letting my youngest play a slightly out of tune electric mandolin through a cranked Vetta was not such a good idea. [img]/images/graemlins/what.gif[/img]

Your place definatly looks cool Tim, havin the guitars just sittin there "looks" right. Wish I had my own place to do that here. Everything of mine is locked in their cases in my room. It's a freakin hassle just to take em out and play it

Horns - thanks for compliments - my wife and I both love wood and things that are colorful. We're fortunate in that regard because we have very similar tastes.

Superfly - yes those are Longaberger baskets. My wife is very into those. They are very well made - it's quite impressive how much craftsmanship goes into making those.

Mine were like that for a long time. I never played any of them like that. For about 10 years the only guitar I played was my Takamine acoustic. I had almost completely quit playing the electric guitar until about 3 years ago. Then I got obsessed with the guitar again - that's when I started hanging all my guitars in my dinky office/music room. That made a huge difference. Then I started to play them all. And anything that didn't get played got dropped off at the FedEx Ground shipping office for someone else to love or neglect.

Thanks. I wish I could take credit. That's mostly my wife. I did spot the yellow chair and the couches at the furniture store. When it comes right down to it, I'm a man and if it were left entirely up to me we'd have a 7 foot air hockey table in there and a bunch of arcade style video games. Oh, and a dart board.
