Everyday Items for Your Home

Dog Rescuer asked:

Found a bedroom set that I wanted to purchase this spring…The item is discontinued….Does someone know how to locate those distributors..I need to see if this bedroom set has been renamed and is now being sent to another furniture store in the area..any help would be appreciated..When I called the Furniture store recently they stated they are not allowed to disclose the furniture distributors name or location this bedroom set was sent from….I recall last year when I called and asked about shipping costs and how long it would take to get the furniture to my door….The store stated that the distributor had its warehouse in Texas…That is where I live currently….. thats all I recall….
Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated…

I have asked before and I will again!!! anyone have any they want to give me? Mine is all 3rd hand (at least) or out of the garbage!!! I live in subburbs of Philly.
I nanny 9-4 monday thru friday for 3 kids, and have my 4 year old home with me, and I work 40 hours a week/3rd shift in a group home for the mentally handicapped, all so I am home when my 9 year old is home and so that I can be w/ my 4 year old. Why not “just ask”? I am sure there are PLENTY of well off housewives, sitting on the computer trying to figure out the best way to redecorate so they can keep up with the Jones’. You are a presumptive ass aren’t you?

try2answer asked:

Am moving to a new city for grad school - for two years. Should I buy new furniture or buy used furniture? So far I have:
Pros of new furniture - new, fresh
Cons of new furniture - expensive, only need for two years
Pros of used furniture - cheaper, can discard after two years
Cons of used furniture - unsanitary former owners, bugs, etc

Please help me decide!! I do not have much money, but I can squeeze out enough for new furniture. It would be nice to save that money though (as a poor-grad-student-to-be!). What would you do? I cannot see needing the furniture after two years, but it is a possibility! HELP ME!

(thanks!)

We lived in Oregon and my bf was lent 2 furnitures then we moved back to california. She called my bf saying she wants her furniture back after my bf had told her several times before leaving to get her furniture.. she never came to get.. instead of leaving it at the apartment.. since the lease is up.. and getting it thrown away.. he took it with him to cali. The girl calls saying she wants them… because her mom gave it to her. We didn’t have the money.. we are still trying to pay our way out of the debt from the move… the next month she tells us.. she doesn’t want the furniture she just wants the money… and we still don’t have it.. we just borrow a grand from my parents to pay our debts off.. which we got to still pay my parents monthly.. now she called the cops.. in oregon and then the cops in cali.. what will they do? we didn’t steal it… we were in oregon for 3 months and been in cali for 3to 4 months since we got back. What’s the law for this? I

LB asked:

I don’t have a lot of furniture - pretty much the basics. All my furniture is miss-matched - especially in the living & dinning rooms. All my furniture is hand-me-down & antique store finds, they are great solid pieces but all have different finishes and styles. I would love to be able to buy new furniture, but I simply cannot afford it at all.

My walls are currently white and I have wood floors and lots of great wood trim. I am seriously thinking of painting all my furniture a shade of white & adding white slip covers for my futon(aka the “sofa”) and recliner. I am also thinking about painting the walls a nice soft green or soft blue. I have great art and accessories to work with - just really missed-matched furniture. I’m just not sure if this look will improve what I have to work with or if it will look worse than before. I am an artist and I want my home to reflect who I am.

Do you all think it’s worth the risk? Any help with suggestions would be great.

Altstadtweib asked:

I’m looking for very modern furniture, but most furniture stores offer the same old fashioned look. I know there are a few stores which offer a modern & contemporary look, but overall I think Americans prefer a different look than Europeans for example. The furniture stores in Europe are all so beautiful and you go wild, but here it’s almost painful to select furniture.
I usually buy then over the internet, but it costs me a lot of money.
Why is it that even young Americans prefer to buy that old fashioned “oak-style” look??? Anybody from the furniture industry here on YA who wants to explain why stuff looks always so old-fashioned?
