I was just thinking about this topic again the other day. Would love to buy new some day but new is so expensive too and some not as good a quality. My furniture is not too old but think I want to change the colors etc. One thing I know I will bring down is our tempurpedic mattress!!! It's not too old but what a life saver. Now if only I could get my husband to realize the importance of buying new....
Also what happens to all the furniture that is included in a 'furniture available separatley" resale home if the buyer does not want it ??? Garage sale, Craigs list, bargain resale stores? I have seen it all but wonder how many of these are truely a good purchase?
