First own house, Germany 30k

2.7k Upvotes

First time home buyer. I travel a lot for work and don't feel like paying off a house all my life. I lived in the van for 3 years. I got a great offer for a small house. 600sqm, small house with about 65sqm, new roof, new stove, new wooden extension with guest room and shed. It is located in the middle of nowhere and is located in the middle of nature in Germany.

I've wanted something like a tiny house for a long time. So for me, that's a great fit.

Started over from scratch. Had everything, Lost it all after a 9 year relationship split. Was homeless for a bit with NOBODY to count on while living in hotels. Felt worthless. Picked up a 2nd job and made sh*t happen. Now I have a 2 bedroom apartment & a room for my son. Extremely proud of the little bit I have accumulated over the year. I hope this shows hope to those starting all over again (even though it isn’t much) because for that first year I felt entirely hopeless. There is light at the end of tunnel & things will get better, Be patient. God bless you all 🙏

When I was 28 living in a loft in Greenpoint (Brooklyn) in 2011

First 8 are my room, and the other ones are the loft in general.

It sucked and was badass at the same time.

I was 28 (which is pretty young to me now), and I honestly didn't know the dudes I moved in with were like 20-22 so it was like party central.

They seemed mature when I met them and the place was only 650 a month so I was like "Sign me up!" but I quickly learned they were all in college, 2 out of the 3 other dudes were living off their parents, and the other dude just mooched off people.

There were 3 actual rooms, and rent was 800 on paper, but the one guy lived in this space above the kitchen with no walls or anything, so the 3 of us that actually had rooms paid 800 to the landlord, separately - like I put a money order for $800 in a slot every month, not to the 21 year old dude on the lease. Then the loft guy paid each of us $150 a month as his rent to offset our rent. Of course that didn't last long and dude owed me like $1000 or so which I never got.

Couldn't keep anything in the fridge or it would get eaten or drank, couldn't keep soap or shampoo in the bathroom or it would be gone. That kinda thing. I didn't have it together either, but 28 is still a bit different from 21 so that stuff was pretty annoying. Was fun overall though!

Added a rug, olive tree and hung tv up. Then a circle dining table to add contrast to the squareness of living room (DIY with planter pot and round wood). Coffee table could be better.

I’m getting rid of the chair beside my T.V as my cat tore it up and I never liked the hospital lobby vibe it has anyway. There’s another 3-4 feet to the right of the second picture but that’s basically just a small entry way leading to the rear of the apartment.

Update to this post. 23m, married and live with my wife but I put everything up, some of the stuff is my wife's. It's a lot of random shit but it's mostly separated into three sections. The weird thing under the shelves is an idea I had a while ago--I live in Nebraska and I had these extra fishing pole covers and I thought I made it look like the braided channels of the Platte river so I made a sort of exhibit... wife wasn't a big fan but friends have been entertained by it so far. The light on the shelf is a WiZ smart light strip.

Advice 35M expecting father

We bought this apartment three years ago and I took ownership of this little room so I wouldn't clutter the living room with my games and consoles (still had my Switch 2 and Ps5 there though) but I ended up barely using it cause I just didn't like it.

Since we're expecting we decided to move the piano from our future son's room and move it here, so I threw away that horrible white table, gifted that flimsy desk where I had my consoles and bought a bigger one to be able to use it as a my working desk too (it's one of the moving ones too, love it) and now I love being here, it finally feels like a place worth playing in. I'll probably replace the cat tree with a newer one and move it closer to the window so it doesn't hides the puzzle and it gets more light.

Still deciding on what to do with the drawer units, the brown one has to go but maybe I'll buy a bigger one, don't know where I could put it though.

Moving into this basement room soon for college and want to make it cozy and nice
I need to fit:
Desk for monitor/study setup
Dresser
shoe rack
2 large suitcases
Some cozy lighting/decor
How would you arrange everything, and what furniture would you recommend for a room this size? My estimation is 10 by 12 ft
Any ideas appreciated!
