Great idea, but ditto on the first comment. At least it wasn't the smoke detector.

I want a giant neon S coffee table.......

Ditto. I have a similar setup but I need to move the laptop to a desk to do any work. Also, those exposed wire covers do not look too hot. speakers on two stands next to the unit ...

Personally I would have found it safer to just put a shelf attached to the wall just to the right of the outlet. Are people that nervous about making holes in their walls?

My dog allows me on the bed and couch.

-10 points for putting the TV too close to the window. They tried balancing it with the sailboat but it is not working. I would have just left it on its own stand (in the same locatio...

The real drawback is how ugly the lamp is.

Can't you take the chairs apart and slip on the new back and seat before reassembling?

I agree with attaching the planks to a panel that's attached to the wall. Makes removing it (if ever) much easier without damaging the underlying wall.

Can you just get prefinished wood flooring (engineered wood product to save money- not a laminate like Pergo) and apply it to the wall? The slats are already finish, so it is just a ma...

Ditto on what Fortune says. I am actually about to start my yearly maintenance on them, where I give them a good cleaning and apply a few coats of teak oil. They bounced back pretty well last yea...

I don't see the point of mounting the speakers if you have those huge cable covers over them. Either run them all the way to the ceiling to simulate a column or just use simple stands ...

Ditto on the fusible fabric. I got that tip from a lady at the fabric store. I haven't tried it yet thought. Didn't even know it existed. I am having the same dilemma you are, I find...

I don't see the issue with the fireplace. Ditto on covering it up only accents it more. I would suggest getting rid of the media center unit first and de-clutter the mantel.

Leave the brass alone! And bring in some teal. Mix in some marble finishes. I think it will look extremely classy. I just saw this combo at Club 50 at the new Viceroy Hotel in Mia...

I can't believe we're the point that a computer setup only has one wire. I thought we'd never get there. Wireless induction power here we come!

What's unattractive about your setup is not the equipment itself (Technics 1200's are very streamlined and stylish), but the folding table, cases, and extras. I have a set of turntab...

Awesome! Looks great! I have a laptop hooked up to a Marantz (Model 26) also! Your setup must be good for parties where people can walk up to it and queue up their song selections. ...

I love the built-in shelves around the bed. Question about the bathroom vanity. That looks like an Ikea purchase, how did you configure it to have drawers?

I think the posters looked better over the mantel. I agree with the comment above. Don't get me wrong, I love myself a big ol' flat screen. But that's not what made the biggest diffe...
