When I moved into my first apartment by myself I had no furniture, in fact I didn’t have a bed, or any kitchen supplies.
When you are fresh out of college and swimming in debt full price retailers won’t cut it. I looked for reasonable priced furniture in every obvious store.
I did not want a pre-owned piece of furniture that I could find on websites, I wanted something I could call mine.
I was driving down Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando, FL the day I moved into my new apartment and saw a “Rooms to Go Outlet” nestled in a shopping center.
I had previously gone to the regular “Rooms to Go” to see the prices, and decided to buy from that store would exceed my budget.
The outlet was just like the regular store, clean and set up nicely. The staff members on the floor were friendly and not predatory like at some of the full price retail stores.
As I walked around I tried to figure out why items were in this “clearance” store. Some of the items had obvious reasons for being there, such as pen or marker marks, or slices from blades on seat cushions. Read more »
I really needed a new couch and a new bedroom set. I had just been kicked out of the house from my loving wife.
I did not have much money, and I could not get credit anywhere. So I decided I would try my hand at the Big Lots furniture outlet in Florence KY.
In my place I had an empty living room, and an empty bedroom. But it didn’t stay empty for long. When I went to Big Lots, the first thing that caught my attention was the lady behind the counter (I was single), then I diverted my attention away from her, and moving toward the furniture department.
I was greeted by an extremely friendly face, and a healthy, “Hi, can I help you find anything?” The sales persons name was Matt. I told him my situation, and he told me to at least try and get their credit card, that way, the money that I have now, I can hold on to, because I may need it. Read more »
My living room is yellow and I chose navy, cloth furniture to give it a French feel.
I have two intersecting sofas. Both are large enough for an adult to sleep comfortably on.
I chose them from a local furniture store that I get most of my things from.
Everyone who visits love what I’ve done with my living room.
My mother went with me to pick things out. Whenever my best friend comes over to watch TV and hang out he always falls asleep on it. Read more »
I have a huge living room. Its is about 200-300 sq feet. I have a striped couch that is about 3-4 meters long. Next to it, there is a chair. Under it is a rug that is beautiful with these lines that make you want to get down on it and roll on it.
We have a 60″ TV on one wall and next to it about 6 feet or 7 feet, there is a fire place that is about 3 feet high.
Then there are some snow men that sing a song that goes like Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of Auld Lang Syne. For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, for Auld Lang Syne, we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for Auld Lang Syne.
And its so funny because when they do so they do this funny dance and it makes you wanna run away. Above that there is a picture about flowers and a rainbow flying over it. Read more »
We are a young family. We live in an area that although the cost of living may be considered low compared to the rest of the country, that cost of living is higher than many of the areas of this state.
As a result, we have a small house. Two adults and two kids need to be able to function together peacefully in this space. We have a long living, narrow living room. This is the only space for entertainment, home office, and playroom in the house.
We have a mix of old and new in this space. We have an old pull-out couch. This piece comes in handy when we have guests. It is brown with different tones of brown stripes in a cable pattern.
To prevent too much attention drawn to the cable couch, we’ve covered it with a neutral beige cover. When we don’t have guests, this has become a place for me to do laundry. Read more »
I live in a trailer home so my living room is more long than wide, so when I had to put furniture in it, I had to come up with some creative ideas since I didn’t want to lose my stuff to another room.
My birthday is in October so I have tons of Halloween stuff, and my furniture matches.
Both my couch and my big easy chair are black. All my bookcases are black, of course, and so is my TV stand. The bookcases and stand are the simple do it yourself ones right from Wal-Mart for under 100.00.
I couldn’t tell you where I got my couch and chair from as they were a gift from my mother for my birthday three years back. Read more »
