I just refinished a dark basement apartment. Here's my before/after http://cl.ly/image/2Q1t2P3b392W

Absolutely paint it white. Paint the floors high gloss white with decking paint. It will take 3-4 coats but it's easy. Get a nice large sisal rug (they're cheap). Paint the walls white and decorate with neutrals, and some splashes of color.

I agree this is just shock value, there's no art behind this. I would never bring all that dark energy into my home.

I make furniture as well, and I've had great experiences with German at CarvArt in Brooklyn. He just cut out a floor lamp I designed in expensive bamboo plywood and did a fantastic job.

nrdavis.. what softwear did you create that with?

For a while I shared my bed with a boyfriend, 2 small dogs, 1 large dog, and a cat. It was quite comical having us all together in a queen-sized bed. This is what happens when 2 animal-people start dating.

Now, the cat is gone and we bought the large dog his own bed which he loves (on the floor). So it's not so bad.
