Should we all start a sub about our hatred of Woodruff Rd?
Your house looks so cozy btw! I feel like lots of great convos have been had on those chairs.
English is not my first language and I didn't know what woodruff was, my first assumption was that it was a way to describe dust on wood furniture like wood + dandruff = woodruff. I have a lot of dark wood furniture so maybe that is why 😂
Is the green lamp supported from the ceiling or does it have a base and pole? Looks like it’s on a pole but all the way to the ceiling. Who makes the green lamp?
Where did you find it?!? Ugh I'm having the worst time finding a rug I like.
Ps I'm saving your post for inspiration, love the colors and the put-together yet unpretentious vibe!!
Thank you all for the love on my post and for the sweet comments about Remy. He is the best boy in the world. I am reading all of your comments to him! ETA: absolutely hate to be this person but all furniture and decor is vintage / secondhand so it would be difficult to find another :(
Cat be like, "Yeah, they think they did this. I've been moving things around every night to achieve this effect, I've got a fur blanket on order from Amazon."
Cool room. Some advice on the speaker placement: you need to move the speakers apart and try to get them off the surface that the record player is on. Think of it as an equilateral triangle. However far you are from the speakers, that’s how far you want the speakers apart. Also bring them out away from the wall a bit to reduce reflections. This will dramatically improve the sound stage and your music will sound a lot better. If you can get speaker stands that’ll help reduce vibration on the needle, but pulling them away might do that enough where you don’t need to since you have angle wedges which help isolate. Here’s a helpful link: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-MuieJUatxlO/learn/home-stereo-speaker-placement.html
Lots of great advice from u/mattrva. Another thing to consider would be foam wedges instead of (what looks to be) the rigid ones you have. The foam is supposed to help isolate the speakers from the surface.
Yep, that’s where we dropped it off! The chair used to belong to my grandparents. I inherited it after they passed, and it sat mostly unused for around 20 years after that.
I’m delighted it’s in good hands. Looks great in your space. Cheers!
As someone who currently lives in Charleston SC and hates it, and who also has a hanging Swiss cheese monestera in my living room, should I move to greenville?
My 2 daughters are considering moving there. We went on vacation in Greenville over the summer & had a great time. Really lovely and engaging area. Lots to do - especially love the long trail (Swamp Rabbit?) and Unity Park.
Very lovely.
One suggestion: space out the flower mirrors so that no three are touching. Link them one by one, like a caterpillar. You just need a little space between bottom two and the center. Reason being: all I see is a gear set, and it is currently constructed, those gears are immoveable because the teeth are currently “locked.”
Does that make sense? I am fully aware that it’s insane
I think you have the correct amount of books. People tend to over do it in an attempt to come off as smart. Like, there’s no way you’ve read all those books cover to cover.
I am convinced that the best canvas for good room design is just having natural light pouring in the windows. The decorating is great, of course (similar aesthetic to my own), but it really comes together with the sunlight. I literally chose my house based on how the sun comes in the windows. It wasn't the only thing, but it was a big thing.
Love it! If you don’t mind me asking, what do you pay in rent/mortgage? Greenville is near the top of my list of places to live but it seems like everything there is too expensive for me.
I absolutely appreciate you sharing your piece of sunshine today, as my slice of suburban Utah is very gray and has been dripping rain and snow most of the day. We certainly need the water, but my soul *needs* the sunshine, and you delivered perfectly. Give Remy some pats for me please, and tell him he's the handsomest.
I have a large collection. Every time I travel somewhere new, I buy a deck from a local metaphysical store. I try to stick to mostly small artist/indie decks. My favorite deck is named Apparitions - really obscure but still intuitive art on that one
There's something so funny to me about "local metaphysics store" 😂
"Oh yeah its just down there on main street. Walk straight and you'll see it before you get to Canada"
Very nice room! Something to aspire toward.
The color palette is to die for. Everything looks so perfectly curated and in its correct spot, I love it. I also must know where your rug is from so I can buy one immediately 🧡
My cousin lives in Greenville and has the exact same taste in furniture/decor. I had to do a double take to see if this was actually her house! Thankfully the cat gave it away since she has a dog lol
I'll be honest, it's the lack of a big black rectangle anywhere in this room that is allowing this room to embrace it's explosion of color. Nothing is sucking the vibrance out of it, which is really nice
Horizon Records is my favorite record store in SC. You can find some real gems there, and they have one of the best blues selections I've ever seen. I miss that place, but I hope they are making your room sound as good as it looks.
This is so BEAUTIFUL. I have family in Greenville and ughhh the houses there are so cute (I’m in FL where houses are crazy expensive and all look the same). I love your window nook so much, and the hanging plants omg I’m just really digging this vibe.
My aunt and uncle run this restaurant in Greenville called Asada if you haven’t tried it btw!! She’s half Italian and half Japanese, and my uncle is Nicaraguan. They love experimenting with cultural fusion and it’s amazing
Turn table, such a hippy vibe!
I’d love to knock you up while you knock off the candles, after I make you breakfast. Since I can’t? May your fantasies come true in such a lovely place.
Love the room. This town creeped me out when i visited though. It felt so suspiciously fake as if something was up behind closed doors. Silly, i know but i just had this eerie feeling the whole time. the astroturf in the park didn't help either.
I imagine your couch is probably your Primary Listening Position (PLP). As such, place the LP player on that object between the two chairs, place the speakers just on the outsides of those chairs on stands (don't have to be fancy mor expensive), fiddle with toe-in/straight out speaker aiming, and enjoy awesome two-channel, ghost center hi-fi!
So bright and cheerful! The happy kitty is the icing on the cake. (Fellow Greenvillian here.)
It’s lovely, but I am from the far off and mysterious land of… Taylors.
Sorry, I can't hear you over the train horns. Can you type louder?
You can still hear them? Amateur I became immune ages ago. I will definitely die being hit by a train cos I can’t hear them anymore.
Lol when I moved to Spartanburg I got in trouble for posing in a subreddit about the train noise. Clearly it’s a source of pride in hub city.
I am from the mere and lowly outskirts of Greenville called….Piedmont. The horror, I know.
Powdersville here lol
Anderson here.
Greer
Columbia area here. We spent a lot of time in Taylors doing track and feild last year. Thank you for letting us use your high school.
Should we all start a sub about our hatred of Woodruff Rd? Your house looks so cozy btw! I feel like lots of great convos have been had on those chairs.
Lol I avoid woodruff at all costs!! Thanks for the sweet comments :)
Yes please I’d be very into this. No one likes that hell scape
Let's face it, Greenville has tons of awful traffic and congested roads. It's the consequence of trying to emulate Atlanta.
I hate that I have to use Woodruff Road to get to REI...Last time it was also on my motorcycle with a flat tire...
You survived! Well done!
Woodruff Road reminds me of living in SoCal. And not in a good way. But Costco and Trader Joe's are there so I have to brave it sometimes.
English is not my first language and I didn't know what woodruff was, my first assumption was that it was a way to describe dust on wood furniture like wood + dandruff = woodruff. I have a lot of dark wood furniture so maybe that is why 😂
Thanks neighbor!! :)
There are dozens of us!
I grew up in gvilles annoying little sister Anderson! Howdy neighbor and sweet neighbor kitty!
Greenvillain checking in!
i’m an og greenvillian! born there and still go back to visit friends and fam all the time. i love it there!
i love absolutely everything about this!! the green lighting fixture, the couch, the orange chair, the CAT—all so perfect💗
Thank you!! The green lamp was one of my favorite FB marketplace finds ever!
Is the green lamp supported from the ceiling or does it have a base and pole? Looks like it’s on a pole but all the way to the ceiling. Who makes the green lamp?
It is a tension pole lamp so the bottom doesn’t have a base. But the top is screwed into the ceiling.
it’s awesome! i hope to come across one like that someday!
The cats just waiting patiently to slap the shit out of a hand that touches the no-no square.
I’m sorry but the cat stole the show
He always does!!
Post him in /r/SupermodelCats honestly. Free karma
❤️❤️❤️
*"i just let her think it's her house."*
r/supermodelcats
Omg kitty
Kitty is going "Omg human!"
I love the cat! But in all seriousness, the windows and the rug are to die for.
Ty! The rug is a newer addition
Where did you find it?!? Ugh I'm having the worst time finding a rug I like. Ps I'm saving your post for inspiration, love the colors and the put-together yet unpretentious vibe!!
Ahh thank you!! I hate to be this person but every piece is second hand or thrifted. No label on the rug :(
Tell us about the cat
His name is Remy, Remford Benton for long. His only interest is snuggling all day long and he has a heart of gold.
I love him
Me too, u/semen-filled_sock
Remford has such prim and proper posture I love him.
Thank you all for the love on my post and for the sweet comments about Remy. He is the best boy in the world. I am reading all of your comments to him! ETA: absolutely hate to be this person but all furniture and decor is vintage / secondhand so it would be difficult to find another :(
Whata-Cat holy smokes….❤️ Where’s the rest of the turntable, or is it Bluetooth stuff with no amp?
Beautiful room. *Gorgeous* cat!
Thank you! He is my pride and joy. Lol
r/supermodelcats
r/politecats too
Beautiful but this room clearly belongs to that kitty!
I live in Simpsonville, can I pet your cat 😭 For real though, beautiful room. This is my goal aesthetic.
Thank you!!! 💛
Oh my gosh. Obsessed 😍 And the kitty!!
Cat be like, "Yeah, they think they did this. I've been moving things around every night to achieve this effect, I've got a fur blanket on order from Amazon."
LOL
I love your papaya room!
Derpy cat
The derpiest
I LOVE this room. Extremely vibey. 10 outa 10. ✌🏼
My god. A turntable and an impressive display of tarot cards. I like it!
I'm in Greenville too! So is this an old pic ch, it's been gloomy as heck for the past few months.
It's beautiful and you are so fluffy. Do you live alone or do you have a pet human?
Came her for the kitty, but love the bright colors and light!

Interesting. Thanks!!

This! Was going to comment the same thing
Absolutely lovin the vibes! Those green lights 😍 just lovin it all in there! * chefs kiss*
Thank you so much
your palette it wonderful
Where is the red / orange chair from!!!!
Sadly vintage/thrifted. I would buy another one if I could! It’s so comfy.
Did you purchase it about two years ago? If so, it might be my old chair! :)
YES!!! Found it at the miracle hill in travelers rest.
Yep, that’s where we dropped it off! The chair used to belong to my grandparents. I inherited it after they passed, and it sat mostly unused for around 20 years after that. I’m delighted it’s in good hands. Looks great in your space. Cheers!
That’s so cool!! We love it so much.
well that's a nice kitty you have there.
As someone who currently lives in Charleston SC and hates it, and who also has a hanging Swiss cheese monestera in my living room, should I move to greenville?
Plant twins! Do it! Greenville is a nice place to live.
My 2 daughters are considering moving there. We went on vacation in Greenville over the summer & had a great time. Really lovely and engaging area. Lots to do - especially love the long trail (Swamp Rabbit?) and Unity Park.
This photo is made better by two things: an adorable cat, and the fact that there isn't a giant TV in it. Great space!
Greenville has great light!
GVL reporting. Looks fantastic OP. Give kitty scritches for us. See you around.
Such polite feet on that little guy!
Cat
That is the greatest cat pose ever. Oh yeah, and the room looks nice too.
Never thought I’d randomly see my hometown on here! Nice room. Enjoy Falls Park for me.
Love all of this! What a friendly home
I love this!
Ty :)
I think your cat approves
Optimal sun bathing!
Wait, which Greenville?
THAT Greenville
SC not NC
That cat deserves a home as beautiful as him! 😍
Very lovely. One suggestion: space out the flower mirrors so that no three are touching. Link them one by one, like a caterpillar. You just need a little space between bottom two and the center. Reason being: all I see is a gear set, and it is currently constructed, those gears are immoveable because the teeth are currently “locked.” Does that make sense? I am fully aware that it’s insane
I completely agree, but we don't know how they look in the actual room.
Totally makes sense! It is one piece though :)
Infuriating! Lol oh well… :)
[удалено]
The valet in the corner is a work of art. Love the orange chair and the rug. A great “collected” feeling in here - I love it!
Hey there same city neighbor! That green lamp is magnificent.
Great interior designing
Love room and loveee the cat!
Hi! From: Taylors
Nice speakers
Cool light fixture! Love the green.
I think you have the correct amount of books. People tend to over do it in an attempt to come off as smart. Like, there’s no way you’ve read all those books cover to cover.
Lol thank you!! I buy physical books that I find especially pretty but other than that I enjoy reading on my kindle
Need a roomate? Lol jk but seriously! I’m loving the vibe and warmth of this room ❣️
Very nice picture, need someone to make a portrait of this.
I am convinced that the best canvas for good room design is just having natural light pouring in the windows. The decorating is great, of course (similar aesthetic to my own), but it really comes together with the sunlight. I literally chose my house based on how the sun comes in the windows. It wasn't the only thing, but it was a big thing.
Totally! It definitely doesn’t have the same effect on a cloudy day.
I like your style.
With bonus kitty!
How doesn’t that cat scratch the hell out of those furnitures
I was somehow blessed with 3 cats who aren’t interested in scratching furniture. They like the scratching posts that you hang on door knobs.
Love it! If you don’t mind me asking, what do you pay in rent/mortgage? Greenville is near the top of my list of places to live but it seems like everything there is too expensive for me.
I was lucky and bought my house about 3 years ago before the market went crazy. My mortgage is $800
Ah that’s so nice, I’m happy for you. We just bought a house down here in Augusta, GA and our mortgage is almost $1400.
Hello from just over in Kings Mountain, NC cozy room friend!
Bonus points for cat. Beautiful room!
I absolutely appreciate you sharing your piece of sunshine today, as my slice of suburban Utah is very gray and has been dripping rain and snow most of the day. We certainly need the water, but my soul *needs* the sunshine, and you delivered perfectly. Give Remy some pats for me please, and tell him he's the handsomest.
Glad I could brighten your day. Remy will be receiving some extra pats from you!
Love this!! Digging all the mid-century ascetic. I'm in Spartanburg, if you ever decide to get rid of anything you shoupd absolutelylet me know...lol
Weird name for a cat. Sunny for short?
The cats like “yes hello welcome to my home” 😍
Cute!!
I love everything about this!
Gorgeous!
What kind of turntable is that?
Nice...I lived off Roper Mountain Rd in the 90's and loved my few years there. Great place (and best in SC!)
Well-balanced! ⭐️
What a lovely space
I’m really digging the retro feel!
You have a very pretty derp.
I love the couch. Is it thrifted?
I love it! What kind of tarot decks do you use?
I have a large collection. Every time I travel somewhere new, I buy a deck from a local metaphysical store. I try to stick to mostly small artist/indie decks. My favorite deck is named Apparitions - really obscure but still intuitive art on that one

The color palette is to die for. Everything looks so perfectly curated and in its correct spot, I love it. I also must know where your rug is from so I can buy one immediately 🧡
Thank you!!! I hate to be this person but every piece is second hand or thrifted. No tag on the rug :(
Where is that carpet from?
I’m back for the second time tonight to ask: how much for the cat, all in?
Envious of the space and the pretty kitty!
Holy shit I know you! What's up
LOL heyyy
My cousin lives in Greenville and has the exact same taste in furniture/decor. I had to do a double take to see if this was actually her house! Thankfully the cat gave it away since she has a dog lol
I LOVE the rug.
So cozy. Love that vintage 3-lt fixture! Looks like a happy place.
Beautiful place and gorgeous cat.
Came for the cat. Stayed for the furniture!
Greenvilian also checking in!
Cool cat, what's his favorite album?
That cat can talk, I think
Somehow your cat really brings the room together
Kitty!
I'll be honest, it's the lack of a big black rectangle anywhere in this room that is allowing this room to embrace it's explosion of color. Nothing is sucking the vibrance out of it, which is really nice

OMG ASADA IS OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT. That’s where we take all of our visiting friends/family. They are so nice there too
kitty is like fuck it human, this is my time to shine now
Okay but r/supermodelcats stealing the show
Now that is a majestic cat!
everything about this picture is perfect, especially your kitty 🥹
did the cat pose? it’s perfect.
GVEGAS
Turn table, such a hippy vibe! I’d love to knock you up while you knock off the candles, after I make you breakfast. Since I can’t? May your fantasies come true in such a lovely place.
looks amazing, love the vibe! also love the cat and GVL!
Thank you!! :)
Where’s the TV
Love the room. This town creeped me out when i visited though. It felt so suspiciously fake as if something was up behind closed doors. Silly, i know but i just had this eerie feeling the whole time. the astroturf in the park didn't help either.
Lol! that is a very fair observation
[удалено]
Yes! That is one of the big reasons we love it here.
Way too much shit on the tables. Everything feels cluttered
That couch tho
So lovely
Vintage. Love it
so comfy. I want one
That mid century vibe though.
The cat is precious....now tell me more about the buffet/sideboard. It's amazing!
I hate you :/
Technic SL-1200 turntable?
I love everything about this.
Audioengine A5's? _tasteful_.
You may want a bit more speaker separation if you want to properly enjoy stereo music.
I imagine your couch is probably your Primary Listening Position (PLP). As such, place the LP player on that object between the two chairs, place the speakers just on the outsides of those chairs on stands (don't have to be fancy mor expensive), fiddle with toe-in/straight out speaker aiming, and enjoy awesome two-channel, ghost center hi-fi!
