Warm tones. Reds, oranges, yellows, etc.
Dressing:
lamps. Martin wants to utilize lamps in his lighting scheme, so the instructions here will be more specific as we go, but in general we're talkin' thrift store-o-rama! the more varied the shades and the more outdated the style, the better!

We will also try to procure a couch (or two) for free from friends, but also be on the look out for a warm tone, "flop house-ish," ratty, sofa, great!
Wall stuff will be much more chaotic. I've included some examples of "punk houses."




A lot of these, however, are much more "dirty" than I picture our house becoming. I like their subversive nature, but we might think about replacing the music centric elements with "nerdier," army navy surplus centric stuff. The people who live here, remember, are part hipster, part video game geek, part WWII enthusiasts, but ALL distracted youth. so the more visually stimulating and lacking in cohesive theme the better!




As far as things to buy (in other words something helpful) here are some ideas:
Lamps, outdated flags (USA, Soviet, Commie Vietnam), goofy thrift-store-bought wall art/paintings, perhaps an old broken TV, army men/old GI joes (which do not need to be returned intact), Power Glove, Super Scope, progressive rock (elo, rush, super tramp, etc) concert posters... as a start... and in warm tones.


Thanks!
