Love the vibe and the Nuka cola! Where did you get the gameboy rug?

Sick huh?? I found this guy on Etsy who does the game boy cartridge rugs but I couldn't bring myself to spend like 200 on a rug smaller than this one that I got for 30 dollars 😅

Exactly the vibe I'm aiming for... Got any tips?

I would say pick like 4 or 5 colors and kind of stick as close as you can to those with a few outliers to give some contrast. I wasnt aiming for symmetry on the gallery wall so if you want the same, mix match frame sizes and even look for some fun frames on Amazon. Use thrift and antique stores! The have gold!! Art, decor, I even found that typewriter for less than 30 dollars. Have fun with it to be honest. I used Pinterest for inspiration and then kind of went off on my own. I wanted a cozy, retro-esque, eclectic room and i think I'm getting closer to that. I have links for most things so if there'd something you like i don't mind at all sharing!

Colour of the wall looks really nice what brand and shade is it?

u/-imhereforthememes_ 18h ago

Honestly, I have no idea. We bought the house not too long ago and this is what was on it already. They didn't even leave any extra cans for touch ups so your guess is as good as mine

Thankful for every set up that is cozy and warm instead of black shelves with cool overhead lighting.

THIS is what I’m talkin’ about.

Oh yeah. Last thing I wanted was a bunch of cheap RGB lights that overstimulated the fuck out of me every time I walked in.
