Frugal Village forums: Keeping up with the Jones’ furniture
RachelMcK started a lively thread Monday at the Frugal Village forums: Keeping up with the Jones’ furniture.
A snippet:
The other night we went to a friends place. They went on and on about all the new furniture they got, how much it cost etc. Being a bit of a design freak, I was incredibly jealous. I suddenly wanted new furniture. Sometimes I feel like I live in a dorm because all my stuff was second hand. They even said something along the lines of that as well. Ugh.

Just a thought…have you REALLY looked at the junk they call furniture lately? If you have good frames and comfy stuff from grandma, consider having it reupholstered with more contemporary fabrics. Might be half the price and last twice as long.
