Decorating a Bachelor Pad

The "Before" Shots:

My brother recently graduated college and moved into a new apartment with a couple of his buddies.  In order to move away from the college living style, my mom and I helped design the apartment with a more sophisticated feel but within a reasonable budget. (They are college grads after all!)  After contemplating a number of different themes we were sold when we found a masculine airplane print and a pair of amazing metal lamps at Home Goods.  From there our "Old World Traveler" theme conspired.  

Here's a look at the apartment before we started decorating:
