Rumor has it that you like to kick it “Old School” style. Well, why not let your Apartment reflect it?

There are a number of really cool and inexpensive things that you can grab to give your apartment a little “Old School” Flava’. If you’ve been thinking about doing some cool things with your apartment that take you back and now you may have a little gift cash or gift cards to spend, consider some of the following:
Nintendo Power – No, I’m not talking about the silly video game magazine that kids used to ache for in the 80’s. Rather, I’m talking about setting yourself up with a system that can play all the old games like Mario Brothers, Tetris, and Zelda. A system like the FC Top Loading Nintendo System that will play all of your old school NES cartridges without any errors. This little machine is really sweet! I recently got one and it works incredibly. I have been trying to break my old records on all my games since…..except…now I’m playing them on a BIG SCREEN!

Bottles and Cans….Just Slap Your Hands- Seriously. Hit up thrift stores, junk shops, and E-Bay for cool looking old bottles like the 80’s glass Dr. Pepper bottles or other stuff like that. You can find a ton of great stuff that you can line the top of your cabinets or window sill with that will help with that old school flavor.

Boom Box- And I am not even joking. No apartment can really be classified as “Old School” if it doesn’t have a boom box that is easily carry able over one shoulder as you stroll down the street!
Movies!!!- Okay…so….there is no justification for keeping old VHS tapes around, but….start expanding your DVD collection to include the movies that really ring true for the 80’s and 90’s. You can grab a ton of DVD’s like The Goonies, Weekend at Bernies, Dirty Dancing, Top Gun, Rambo, and Die Hard for really cheap at most electronic stores. And come on…you can watch these over and over again…can’t you? I know I can and I make my friends too!

T-Shirts and Album Covers – Get to a craft store and buy a few matching frames. Then dig through your closet, head to a thrift store, and search online for Old School t-shirts and album covers. You can frame these timeless treasures and throw them up on one of your walls to create a retro-walls that is sort of like a museum of cool. You could also search for old toys like GI Joe’s, Ninja Turtles, M.U.S.C.L.E.S., Barbies, and Care Bears to line some shelves with and show your appreciation for the classics. My buddy, Schultz, framed all of his old Garbage Pail Kids. It looks really cool.
