We bought a new house last December. We went directly to Southern Lifestyles and purchased all new furniture and it was delivered and set up on the day we went to closing. It cost around 17,000.
I went online to Walmarts and ordered TVs, dishes, silverware, glasses coffee pot, that kind of thing and had it sent to Walmarts down there and picked it all up at the time of closing. This cost 1000. Really had the rental stuffed that day.
We had linens ordered from Macys and they went to a friends house before closing. I also ordered a washer/dryer from Home Depot and that came on our second visit in January. These were probably another 1500.
Over the year we have picked up quite a few decorating things for the house, replaced the carpet and have just made plans to extend the lanai.
As you can see we have spent plenty, but it has been worth it for us. We only get down every six weeks or so and about a month ago my 29 year old daughter took a job in the area and right now she is living in the house.
I would not have done anything differently. I love the house and soon I hope to be living in it a lot more.
