Hello Byron, I have moved into a new place and I’m having a terrible dilemma. I would like to furnish my place with used pieces of high quality that do not break my bank; I cannot figure out where to do so online. I tend to be too busy to take time to search antique stores in my area. Do you have any advice for my situation? Thanks. -Austin
Hi Austin, thanks for the question. I would check on craigslist. Sometimes, quality pieces will appear there for good prices. Other possible sources could be friends and coworkers. Everybody knows somebody who’s getting rid of something. If you’re single, asking a potential love interest if they have any ideas is a great way to break the ice and have possibly a great afternoon out, treasure hunting.
I think you should understand that this process takes time, and a little effort. That’s what’s going to get you good pieces, and save you money. It’s a trade off. Hang in there! – BGT
I love that chair, wish it was ours. Could just curl up and read a book in it.
Thanks, J Lynn. I think you and Bev will have to fight it out over this one. She has the same idea. Ha! – BGT
Agree….love the fabric, the style…..where’s my book? And let’s get that fire going!
That is the chair to curl up in, isn’t it? Thanks, Bev. Put another log on the fire…- BGT
