My dad wants to put the tv on this thing. I think it looks stupid and top-heavy (not saying it's going to fall off). What do you guys think?

I agree with you. I wouldn't do this with my own TV
But I also wouldn't give a shit if my dad wanted to do it with his TV
There's a line between "my business" and "not my business," and what my dad does with his own belongings falls on the side of "not my business."
Well I am living here and he has deferred to me to do the interior design (albeit with his stuff). As long as I can find something else we already own to put it on, he's okay with moving it. His complaint is just owning more furniture (even though I offered to pay).
Are the square shelves to the left two units?
It would look more balanced if you put one of those on either side of the middle box.
I think that's a little radical, even if they can be separated. But I think the TV should go in the corner as it's too far away anyway and the "tv stand" should be flush with the bookshelf (the square things)
I'm just amazed that you're getting everything to sit on the wall like that... AMAZING!
Reddit is that way...
Then again, I guess I should have rotated the phone or the picture. But frick you, you can see it.
Ok spiderman.
Wall mount it. Put the cable box and shit on top of that Walmart cube organizer.
>Cable box
Okay gramps. It's the size of a large mug, it's going behind the tv. My dad found a table for the TV which previously had decorations on it.
My next question is about what I am to do with all the bloody nicknacks. See he has a complete mishmosh of stuff. I am trying to create a European section and a more tropical section and the kitchen is more kitchen-y I guess. I'm trying to use native stuff or ambiguous stuff as transitional between. My dad thinks it has more to do with color but I think he is out to lunch. I am an amateur composer and I know a lot about music and a piece that sounds both Japanese and Italian would sound nauseating to me, even if all the elements were texturally and key-wise the same. He thinks I am autistic and just creating autistic patterns but he is the one who thinks things that are superficially similar should be kept together, which seems more autistic but I am the one who is officially diagnosed. He doesn't have a preference but just thinks we will have to put things wherever they fit and is worried about running out of space. He has a lot of shit.
>okay gramps
You’re the one who hasn’t wall mounted the thing yet. It’s not 1997 anymore.
Also DVR boxes still aren’t that small.
I think you need to find your dad a girlfriend, that will solve the decorating issue and he won’t question her european ambitions if he’s getting pussy.
It is attached to a permanent stand! You don't mount it on the wall, that looks stupid.
You mount it on the wall with a mild angle for your viewing pleasure and then get a proper piece of furniture underneath that isn’t Walmart’s 2003 Oak Collection.
Meds. My dad just wants to organize everything he has. I agree it's out of date but obviously it will look a lot worse if the placement of everything is arbitrary. Anyway, the tv isn't going on the wall. Cope and seethe.
I have much better aesthetic sense than your average roastie albeit. I'm an actual artist afterall
Yeah but if you can’t convince him, what good is it?
Or maybe if you come out of the closet to him right now, he will finally accept that his son might know a bit about design because gay people are the best interior designers.
I can convince him by talking about it with you tubes and relating the conversation.
Actually it's a myth that gay people know more about interior decorating or fashion. Have you seen how your average sodomite dresses? Jorts and a camo tank-top or haiwaiian shirts. What is gay is wanting to do it professionally. When faced with a creative task, the pneumatic will come up with ideas. I wouldn't care to go around decorating people's houses or making outfits for them. I actually dress very modestly and if I had a condo of my own, there probably wouldn't even be any decorations! So my dad is "gayer" than me just for having bought all this stuff in the first place.
Shit, wrong image. I use that when somebody strawman's me.
Anyway this move has completely reinvigorated me. It's bizarre. I'm just A LOT more motivated now or at least less apathetic about things.
Is I stupid to put a painting behind the TV?
It*
generally you hang a painting up so you can, uh, look at it
also the hot air venting from the back of the TV won't be good for the painting
No, the TV is lower in the corner now. The painting would be fully visible and well away from it, as you can see. I'm just wondering if it will be distracting.
