I am always impressed by folks who buy furniture. Most of mine has come from the curb. In fact, the only piece I actually bought was a bar from Bamboo Ben!

:lol: With the exception of my Witco and our beds, all my stuff came from thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, or by the trash somewhere. I am in the middle of painting "the orange room" and was painting some shelves we found with a "GRATIS" sign on them. I was painting away over the mismatched pieces of spare wood and sticking out screws, joking that this piece of crap isn't worth the paint I'm putting on it. It'll be functional though. Now while we're driving around I will yell out "GRATIS!" My friend just rolls his eyes and looks for where he can make the U-turn to haul some crap out of a dumpster! :lol:

Maybe some day, I can afford to buy some real furniture but now, it's out of the question. Congrats!
