| Do you re-arrange furniture/furnishings in your home? | | Do you re-arrange furniture/furnishings in your home? My mom has this knack of re-arranging pieces of our furniture and furnishings at our house. Roughly three times a year, our couch, television set, desktop computer, cabinets and other furnishings get to stay in various areas around the living room. It's so confusing and frustrating, I must admit, especially if you're used to seeing your living room in a certain state. In the wee hours of the night, when I get a glass of water, I often bump against a chair or a table here and there because I didn't know that my mom had this itch to re-arrange again during the day. What about you? Do you or anyone in your household re-arrange furniture/furnishings? How often? How do you find it? | |

| Are you really picky about your furnishings? My house is only half furnished | | because I won't buy just anything. This is the first house I've ever owned and everything has to be special. Not expensive, just unique and something I really like. Last week I bought this footstool--I've included a picture--for just $12 at a thrift shop and I absolutely love it! It's iron, very sturdy and yet it looks very pretty.
I have minimal furniture right now. I use an old laundry table for dining but cover it with a pretty tablecloth, because I can't find the right dining set. I went a year without a footstool because I hadn't found this one yet. I'm glad I waited!
Are you picky about your furnishings to the point of doing without or making do until you can find the perfect piece?(that's an orange dog toy behind it--no matter how I try, I just can't seem to train them to pick up their toys![em]lol[/em]) | |

| Do you like to interior decorate? | | I like to interior decorate my whole apartment, with spring around the corner. I want to get some new knick-knacks, some new bath rugs, and some new furniture in a dark cherry wood color. I think the dark color would compliment the light periwinkle colored walls in the living room. Yet I do not have a lot of money to interior decorate. Do you know any cheap places or online websites from which I could purchase some home and bathroom furnishings? | |
