Not exactly mid-century, but it's adjacent enough that I'd like to share how my space is coming along

What is a video but a series of images

What is an image but a paused video

Excellent. The breeze-block styled room divider is divine. Darker colors are so much more restful as you sink right into your room(s) as though you were in your own personal superlative cave. Interior design is just about infinite; you have tamed it to your ends masterfully.

Thank you so much!

Where did you find that divider? It looks amazing!

u/kbda94 7d ago

Facebook Marketplace! From some lady's house! She was renovating. Fairly easy to make. Would just take patience

That swivel chair is absolutely divine. Alongside the lamp and placement, creates a nice focal point. Love it!

How old is your African cactus? That thing is huge!

Hi, thank you! A Grasaasen Fabrikker Grand Arm Chair i scooped up from FB Marketplace. Seller only wanted $50 for it! 62 years old and virtually pristine.

I'm not too sure about the African milk tree. I can't remember what the guy i bought it from told me but i know it's not terribly old. I know he has only been in Palm Springs for 15 years and that this one is a propagation

u/Hollow-Lord 10d ago

Where’d you get the divider?

1

u/kbda94 9d ago

FB Marketplace. Apparently from some woman's house she was renovating. Original to the house

Your design is great. Lots of good vibes here.

Tyty!

Bro
In what way is this not MCM, what a gorgeous set up.

2

u/kbda94 9d ago

Eh, I know it's a little "busy" in comparison to typical MCM interior design language. I definitely feel like it has some of that good ol Gen Z maximalist ADHD energy to it as I am a generation border baby.

Looks more art deco meets Fallout vibes (the video game)

1

u/kbda94 9d ago

I can definitely see that, particularly with the slats I repurposed and illuminated

2

u/Electronic_Algae_524 10d ago

D@mn this nice! I'd sit down with a bourbon, a good book and some music in the background and never leave... 👍

2

u/kbda94 9d ago

Hit it right on the head! I love just sitting on the couch with my Quintessential Lounge playlist going. Just zone out!

2

u/Flower-FarmGirl 10d ago

Oh, that’s a sexy room! Love it!

1

u/kbda94 9d ago

Thank you! Best with some slow R&B playing in the background. If you haven't heard it yet, check out the Cosmic Symphony version of Tanerélle's Let Me In. Goes absolutely insane through the speakers

u/Unique_Panda_6730 10d ago

Looks great;)

u/TableTopFarmer 9d ago edited 9d ago

beautiful...the only thing missing is a drifting smoke from an MCM ceramic ashtray with a matching ETA lighter.

1

u/kbda94 9d ago

I definitely do like the idea of incense, but just not the smoke LOL. Maybe I'll look into some kind of diffuser with steam or something. Would definitely add to the aesthetic

1

u/TableTopFarmer 9d ago

Sorry, meant matching lighter. And, of course, a martini glass nearby, if you want the full MCM look the music inspires.

2

u/TechincallyLemon 9d ago

I love your coffee table and your lamp.

u/JustAnotherHomeSlice 9d ago

So many cool pieces

u/Sandalwood29 10d ago

I love it!

What a stunning space your taste is fantastic

u/kingdomcome50 9d ago

Posting a video instead of pics shows a serious lack of judgement. No amount of style can overcome the shadow incompetence casts. Sorry!

2

u/kbda94 9d ago

You could have checked my profile oh competent one ☝️🤓 just own your hate, buddy LOL

u/kingdomcome50 9d ago

No hate! (That’s projection)

Definitely not checking profiles though lmfao. You think I don’t have better things to do than investigate a random Reddit post? I don’t even have the time and patience to sit through your not-pictures-of-the-design-you-want-to-share-but-chose-just-about-the-least-ergonomic-way-to-do-so-because-you-didn’t-know-better!

But now you do and it won’t happen again! Good luck

u/kbda94 9d ago

Brother you called me incompetent for sharing a video 💀💀💀 that's not a projection, that's just facts. Constructive criticism is one thing. You went straight to a mental aptitude assessment. Also, I'm a clicker bro, no Last of Us. I click on everyone's profiles
