Scrimp or Splurge on Furniture?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
These are tough economic times, which puts a little pinch in my home furnishing plans.
The most important items remaining on my “still to purchase” list are fairly big ticket, namely a new sofa and chairs and those are things on which I’m not willing to scrimp.
I admit I cut corners in my office by purchasing my massive desk from Ikea (this despite swearing I would never buy furniture there once I got a real home).
Here’s my desk which came in at just a few hundred dollars.
Still just as it goes in fashion, when times are tight, the mixing of high and low becomes a necessity.
Which furniture items would you be willing to go low on?
