A/V system is nice with a 42" LED tv and sound bar with powered sub, small love seat that my ex wife insisted that I take when I moved out. I have adult stuff, it just looks like a cyclist lives here. Vertical storage of two bikes in plain sight. Rubber mat behind the kitchen table for dirty/wet bikes. Couple of dang grease stains in the carpet unfortunately. Bike stand tucked in the corner. Lights charging on the side table. I accept it. Spare bedroom/computer room has tires, tubes, and 3 sets of wheels in it.

Today I turned into Thor and managed to strip the threads on the stem of my SS MTB turned commuter. Pretty sure I forgot to grease that one before I put it in when I swapped the bar. Oops.
A lot of why I can swing this is that my parents live ~30 mi. away. I keep a lot of stuff there

Here I keep four bikes (two road, one track, one mtb) plus related shoes, helmets and all my clothing. I also keep a pump, stand, trainer, and a wooden dresser with tools, tubes and small items.

I manage to fit it all in one big rug in the corner of my bedroom. It takes up like 1/3 of the floorspace in there but I also manage to make it look somewhat organized.
