Need furniture!
The only thing FH and I own is a bed and a tv. That's all he needs, but I'm looking for furniture. Couch, SMALL kitchen table and chairs for tiny apartment, etc. Anyone selling?

Re: Need furniture!
I would suggest Salvation Army or Goodwill if money is tight. We've been going in every once in a while and finding some great deals! Garage sales too!

Re: Need furniture!
I was recently at the Christmas Tree Shop and they had a cute little kitchen table set that was small and I think it was only $75.

Re: Need furniture!
We may have some stuff in a few weeks. We're moving to Manhattan and I'm sure we won't be able to take everything with us. Things we *might* be getting rid of:
-large beech Ikea desk with hutch
-beech Ikea armore with desk interior
-2 Ikea Poang chairs (one sage, one navy blue)
-1 birch Ikea coffee table (can you tell that we did all our furniture shopping at Ikea?  )
-1 birch Ikea end table
-2 Ikea end tables in a really nice light wood (I put them together in my old apartment and used them as a coffee table)
-we may get rid of our dining table too -- it's of course Ikea. it's birch with the blue-ish colored glass in the center. We have 5 matching chairs too.

Re: Need furniture!

Re: Need furniture!
I'm afraid of buying furniture from Goodwill b/c FH is allergic to cats and I don't want any cat hair on anything, but BUGS! You poor thing!!!

there are ways to tell if its on a piece of furniture - looking for signs of them - brown spots, little red marks. but the best bet is to buy a bug spray and spray the wholw damn thing before you take it in your house.
i know about them because i got bit at night in a very nice hotel and in trying to figure out what it is, i read up on these things.
i read about people taking nice furniture off the street that is "free" or buying it off craigs list at a low price - if the sell price is too good to be true- id stay away. the person may be trying to rid infested items from their apartment. just be careful. its horrible if they infest your house.
