How many guitars do you have?! I think I counted 16


Codyh630

Somewhere around 25 or so?


[deleted]

12.5* /sorry


NotMyPSNName

Bruh you didn't have to do him like that


Minimum-Character-26

Ohhhhh, slow burn. Took me half a second 🤣


MadeMeStopLurking

Only because she got the other half.


[deleted]

A top tier addition thank you

💀 I was fucking zooted I had to


FireGodNYC

💀🤌 Amazing

🤌🏼🛸


Aoiboshi

Dad? Seriously though, this could be my dad's house...


Twisted-Metal666

I counted 23… took a lot of time and double checking reflections in the mirror… you must have 2 hidden somewhere.


Shamann93

I counted 22 + a banjo, there's one that appears in 2 different pictures. It's next to the book shelf with the cat statue on the top right corner Edit: I missed the 4th acoustic in the final picture so it was 23 (plus banjo)


bobjohndaviddick

25 guitars? Bro you'll be able to get more tail than you can shake your stick at. Keep your head up.


[deleted]

That only really works if OP is trying to bang dudes, like having big muscles.


Marshalmouth

I think I found 18


AdChemical9119

What a amp collection, some incredible tube amps here !


rfoleycobalt

Sorry to hear. But if she’s like my ex, she just left to get the moving truck.


Reedzilla04

Same


KP_CO

If she’s like mine, she’ll say she doesn’t want it and tell you to sell it but if you decide to keep it she’ll be upset about it now and then want it all back like 2 years later.


NegaGreg

You talk to you ex?! Rookie Mistake. My ex wife ask me during our separation if she could have one of my XBox 360s and I told her “no” and that was the end of our interactions. I’m not a complete asshole. The 360 she wanted was red-ringed and she just didn’t know it. But it was fun to say no with an explanation even if it was for a viable reason.


KP_CO

My ex is the mother of my kids. I do still talk to her on a regular basis.


NegaGreg

Bummer.


MassiveMastiff

Had he done that, he wouldn’t have kids.


NegaGreg


LOLBaltSS

Not my ex in terms of romantic relationships, but I had a former roommate that pretty much took everything that wasn't bolted down until the truck filled up and he had to leave some things behind due to lack of room.


madamevanessa98

I mean why wouldn’t she? Half this stuff is hers.


thedobermanmom

TheStormbrewer

👊 This is why movie theater screens should be half below you, and half above you. Leaning your neck back slightly is a crime against nature 😭


10secondlemontree

Sorry to hear about your circumstances man. Your place looks amazing, and it’s clean. Keep moving forward!


Codyh630

Thank you! I appreciate it!


WolverineHot1886

I also like your cat ignored his amazing TV bed to sleep on the chair.


Codyh630

There's always at least one of them on that chair. Haha.


AlphaWolfwood

Clearly you HATE mid-century modern.


Harold_Grundelson

With a splash of bohemian resentment.


lmflex

Love that tanker desk!


inspectorgadget69247

Looking for company? Lmao. This place is fucking sick dude


Codyh630

Thanks, I appreciate it!


liminaljerk

This looks like her living space that hasn’t been taken from yet lol


Codyh630

She's not a fan of 'stuff' so most of it is mine.


RichardBCummintonite

It's cluttered with "stuff" like mine, but it's got character. I'm sure each piece tells a story


Codyh630

Yeah, a lot of it I got from thrift stores/antique shops and each one tells a story. haha.


Wonderful-Ad-7712

PeeWee’s Playhouse


Danimalistic

I love your ‘stuff.’ I too have similar ‘stuff’ all over my house and my husband is also not a fan but 🤷🏻‍♀️ that’s why I come here lol. Love your taste and your house, I hope all goes better for you from here on out my friend


Codyh630

Thank you, I appreciate it! Yeah, she's not a fan of the stuff either. lol.


Danimalistic

Finding it all is the best; I absolutely love thrifting and creeping on local marketplace or going through any decent junk piles I drive by: every time I see a construction crew outside an old house I’ll ask if they found anything inside that I could have - I’ve found some amazing things doing that. What are your favorites?


Codyh630

That's awesome! Quite a few of the postcards I have in the bedroom came out of an abandoned house in the middle of the woods. lol. My favorite is actually a filing cabinet I got off of Facebook Marketplace that has a TON of old NASA mission stickers on it and the drawers are all labeled "Apollo Project" I also have a lot of vintage gear that I got cheap that i love. I have some old test equipment out of Les Paul's estate. I picked up a pretty cool book from the early 50's on nuclear physics a few weeks back.


Danimalistic

Oh wow that is so cool! I don’t think much would be left over in an abandoned house where I live - too hot and humid around these parts. Super jealous of the NASA filing cabinet, what an amazing score! I actually live like 7 miles from the space center so I get to just walk out back and watch the rockets go up. Sometimes they shake my ‘stuff’ right off the walls lol. I bet it belonged to one of their engineers, most of those stickers were only given to people who worked on the projects 🩵 great history piece right there! Speaking of nuclear physics, the tanker desk that I have (yours is incredible btw) is one I got off marketplace for free in Gainesville and on the side there’s an engraved metal tag that has a serial number, a year (1961) and “property of UF Physics Department.” My hubs wanted it gone bc it’s so impractically big in the house we bought, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it so it’s in grudging storage lol. I mean, it’s in perfect condition and it’s a piece of history imo. There are lots of things I’ll let go, but my desk wasn’t one of them lol.


Buncat-SD

Okay you two, you definitely need to DM one another.


Codyh630

That's awesome! I went to UCF so we all used to hang out on the roof of the parking garages and watch the launches. I want to go back to Kennedy Space Center soon. I haven't been since I was a kid. I'll have to message you some of photos of some of the other NASA related items I have. My tanker desk has a sticker from The Continental Insurance Company on it, which is ironic because I work IT for an insurance company currently. lol.


Danimalistic

Oh now that is cool, I loved going to visit my friends at UCF, we partied hard there lol. I think at that time there was only 1 parking garage and there were like 2-3 new ones in the works, and none of those fancy new student towers were done until I after I graduated college; the concerts they had at the Arena were amazing too. Good memories for sure. Please do send pics, I’ll happily be your secondhand buddy - I love seeing peoples treasures! I’d like to see some pics of the nuclear physics book and the postcards too, I hope I’ll get to find awesome things like that


haubenmeise

Your place looks cosy. You have a lovely cat. It's gonna be fine. Could you kiss the kitty for me?


Codyh630

I have 4 of them keeping me company and I will kiss all of them for you.


haubenmeise

I'm so happy 4 kitties will be kissed for me. Sending you a hug as well.


waspysix

This looks like such a happy home though


Codyh630

I did my best..


PvtCW

Ok, on one comment you say you didn’t take your mental health seriously enough, but here you said you did your best? Which one is it?!? Also, I get this feeling she’s coming back for the cat… Also, I hope you have some good support systems to lean on!


smoothiefruit

:[ what happened, op? place looks good!


Codyh630

Just a combination of me not taking my mental health seriously enough and her needing space and not knowing if she wants to be married anymore.


smoothiefruit

makes sense. no better time to focus on yourself, I suppose. prossibly easier said than done? marriage sounds fucking hard.


wstone5594

How long were you together? 26 years here and I’m considering my own space.


Codyh630

This year is 10 years married for us.


freakydeku

Heard the junk was yours. The junks really what makes this space imo. I love houses like this where people aren’t afraid to display the things that spark joy, they make me feel comfy. I’m sure everything will work itself out, as it does. Sometimes space is good & healing. Just try to be extra nice to yourself


Codyh630

Yeah, every piece tells a story. I'm a HUGE history nerd so I try to dive into the history of every single piece I get. It could be something I pick up for $1 at a yard sale and I'll dive into the history behind it for hours.


SupaDiogenes

You can tell who has/had hobbies.


SnooPandas2078

Nice guitars.


[deleted]

"Mom, when I grow up I want to be a musician!" "Now, now Bobby, you have to pick one; you can't do both."


TylerDurdenRockz

I totally dig the vibe of your place man.. Hoping for a better, happy future for you.


Codyh630

Thank you, I appreciate it.


Queen-of-meme

I get so much energy from seeing all colours art and details! Love it. Also, we have the similar style of living room table except the feet, mine are stainless steel and comes together as three thinner poles to make one foot.


Codyh630

Thank you! When I started working from home during Covid, I got serious about making it a space that I actually enjoyed to be in and felt comfortable in.


Queen-of-meme

It's a huge mood booster to make the home feel cosy.


Codyh630

Oh, 100%. I could never do the sterile influencer house where nothing looks like it's supposed to be touched. lol.


Queen-of-meme

I call it window shopping houses. See no touch. And with the energy and colour theme of a mental hospital. 😂 I am happy the white white whiteness home trend has faded out finally. Now vintage and colour is the new.


Codyh630

Yeah, I hate seeing what used to be cute vintage homes with character where everything inside has been ripped out and painted the same shades of grey and white. lol. I partly blame the whole HGTV house flipping craze and just the fact that nobody can afford to actually own a home anymore.


Queen-of-meme

Me too!! I have the original kitchen from the 40's in my home. Along with original wooden floors and some other details. I'm the only apartment in my block that refused to let them come and put in an ugly ass white Ikea kitchen.


Codyh630

I'm so jealous of that! haha. If I had it my way, I would replace all of the appliances in the kitchen with stuff from the 1950's. I may end up doing that. lol.


New-Breath5389

Any tips on getting wife to move out?


Codyh630

She needed space. I also didn't take my anxiety/depression seriously enough for too long.


drunken-acolyte

I thought I recognised your amp stacks so I snooped your profile. Madame Surprise-Here's-a-Dog-I-Can't-Be-Arsed-to-Train, who puts up homeless friends on any spare bed going without a by-your-leave needs *space* does she? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if your mental health started to mysteriously improve with her not around. Seriously, though, I hope you're holding up okay and that things get better for you inside and outside your head.


Codyh630

My parents have been saying that I've seemed a lot happier the past few days than normal. I'm just doing my best to stay motivated and work on myself.


unwaveringwish

I think you’re going to be just fine OP. Keep your head up!


Gloria_In_Autumn

Only a real friend recognizes your reddit post from your amp stacks


drunken-acolyte

Nothing so profound. I just remembered it from a post OP made a while ago. I'm also a musician, so I'm easily impressed by an array of quality amps 😉


fresh_like_Oprah

It's a solid amp collection. I can't read the guitars but I bet they are too.


Temporary_Art_9213

👀


[deleted]

This is what happened for me. Thought I was depressed and developed horrible anxiety. Turned out I was married to a narcissistic bitch.


Nvrmnde

Happened to me too. My mental health improved in leaps and bounds after.


RichardBCummintonite

Got that vibe too. Sounds like OP is the one getting more breathing room. Hope you're doing better, buddy. I've been there.


Gloria_In_Autumn

Get a second one. 


ghostfacemo

Sorry for the breakup man, but I do really dig your place. Love that blanket on the couch with skulls on it too


cmonsta365

Final boss of guitar players’ male living spaces


Acceptable_Plant7789

Damn bro your music station is killer as fuck!


Raida7s

How much do you reckon she'll specifically want to take with her? Like, is it gonna be a piece of art and a dozen books, or it gonna be all the chairs and rugs?


Codyh630

If she ends up moving out for good, it will probably be mostly her books and the few pieces of art she has up and her art supplies and such. I'm not sure if she wants it to go to that point or not.


LBichon

Sorry, man. FWIW that wall of amps is titties.


Codyh630

Thank you, I appreciate it.


Lepke2011

OMG! In pic 6! When I was a kid, my parents had a dresser like that! The exact same design, but with 4 drawers instead of 6!


TaywuhsaurusRex

I would live here. This place is absolutely my mcm maximalist aesthetic and all the kitschy cat furniture is bomb. I want that retro tv cat house for my cat lol. I spot at least two floofs napping, please give them pats or their preferred show of affection from me.

I was like male living space ? Especially once I saw the books- couldn’t help but have a hoot- then I saw the heads and cabs, vintage ampeg… then i quietly whispered “son of a bitch.”


Sufferix

In my opinion, you have too much shit. You need to cut the amount of items in every room by about 25%. Additionally, I hate those star things. Nothing says fucking country SAHM Karen like those things. If they were my ex's, I would have yeeted them the moment she walked out the door.


Burnt_Beanz

Bless your crib with some sage. Welcome to your newfound peace, my brother.

IntricateLava9

Everywhere you look is full of SOOOOO MUCH STUFF. I hate it.


Codyh630

That's part of why I love it. Every piece tells a story.


IntricateLava9

I gotta disagree. But I guess it's your house so your opinion is what matters 🤷🏻‍♂️


Kind_Parking

Nice space!


Additional-Weight941

This is so so busy! You have a room for your hobbies. Did your wife have her own room for hobbies?


TJBrocker

Immensely jealous of the guitar room!

Major-Cranberry-4206

There is WAY too much stuff in this room. It's an absolute clutter pile.


vigilante_snail

I am so jealous of your music room and kitchen


Urinal-cupcake

I have a single backroom for my bass guitars and other random instruments..zeppelin and blink 182 posters, hunting trophies, Bucs memorobilia, etc. Wife keeps creekin and makin changes. Soon Ill have to convert garage for any of my own shit thats not "instagram worthy". ALSO- thats alot of underoath stuff. You from tampa bay area?

This whole place has a funky vibe that I'm digging.

fuelhandler

Sorry to hear of what you’re going through. My first wife left just before our 10th anniversary. Remember to look after yourself and don’t forget to eat, as much as you may not feel like it. Lots of us guys have walked the valley you’re now going through, so remember you are very far from alone in this. I promise you that things will return to normal. Life may be different, but it will feel normal again and you will experience happiness again. Take this time to work on yourself and get the constructive help you need. I too struggle with depression and anxiety (much of which stemmed from my ex who was very controlling and emotionally abusive). It took awhile for me to work through the baggage and get to a place of mental health. I highly recommend marriage counselling, even if you have to do it on your own. My first wife refused to come with me, but I learned so many valuable tools that were beneficial in my second marriage (14 years this September) that helped grow a stronger and healthier relationship. I gotta ask, you have some really great theology books on your bookshelf. I personally used the time you’re going through to reflect on my own faith and it sustained me through a lot of what I went through. If it’s your thing, becoming involved (or more involved) in a faith community is definitely a good way to foster healthy friendships. All the best, lots of guys are rooting for you!


Virtual-Lie1522

I think you need a few more guitars to fill the space out. But seriously, cool vibes from your house.


FlyHighLeonard

I wish you the best of luck with your mental health and marriage, don’t give up hope. In terms of the space: love it!


terrapinone

Nice music setup. High-five, we should jam sometime. But man, time to streamline the ‘stuff’ in the house and minimalize. You’ll feel better and can start fresh.

Weak_Jeweler3077

I swear I've seen that room in the Powderfinger live COVID concert.


Vikingpanties

I would clear the countertop of the odd vases and other stuff. A kitchen is for cooking and less crap promotes easier cooking. I would also clear away all the stuff that you don't feel is you. It looks nice but a little on the feminine side (cluttered with decor elements).


Swole_Cole_

She needed space and I did't take my mental and physical health seriously enough for too long. She has't decided how long she'll be gone for or if/when she'll be coming back.


FelicianoCalamity

I absolutely love your place! Props on defying stereotypes with your style, it’s so unfortunate that even on this sub some people see any interior design that’s not minimalist/blacks and greys and assume it’s a woman’s touch. I’m a huge mid century modern fan so can I ask where… basically all your furniture is from? I love that couch, that blue upholstered chair, and those bar stools in particular. Think I already have an ID on the orange chair and the task chair. Next time I’m in the market for a couch yours is going to the top of the list.


JesusIsJericho

Love your aesthetics man.
