Ok, so I am trying to find furniture for my apartment and I'm having no luck. My roommate is fabulous and has furnished the entire living/kitchen area, as well as decorated, hung artwork and configured the little space we have in the bathroom. I have hung one thing in my room, and it's crooked! I have no money and A LOT of ideas. Problem is, aside from the money thing, I have an idea of what I want to do and what I want my room to look like, but I can't seem to make it happen!
Today I did some walking around and popped into some places while looking for furniture. I spent about an hour in ABC Furniture. This place is 6 floors of amazing furniture, decor and personal items. I would furnish my life with this store, if I wasn't broke. But if you can drop $1,500 on a night stand, be my guest. If anything, it's fun to walk around and get ideas.
I also love to go into Urban Outfitters and rummage around the home decor section. Sadly I feel like their home furnishings have diminished. There used to be tons of furniture and decoration ideas, now it's a lot of crappy little nick-knacks, but there are still great colors to give you ideas.
I really want to find a good thrift/vintage shop for some fun furniture and decorations, so if anyone knows one that won't break my bank, I'd totally be game!
