We ordered a sectional 6 months ago and since we never closed I had to have it delivered to my in laws home. So even planning in advance doesn't always work out so well. People sell tons of great stuff on Craigslist if you don't want to wait long and it will save you some money to buy even more. Or call some of the stores and see if they have a floor models that you can take home same day.

We are just like J and M pointed out, house poor... but with a few more ooooo's.. so, house pooooooooooooooooor!<br /><br />But moving is no fun, and your experience of buying stuff reflects ours. We had no clue there is so much to bring along and so little space it takes in the new home.. and yet we collect more.

I think we'll tackle our great room then focus upstairs on getting new master bedroom furniture and furniture for our son's room. Then we'll probably work on the basement after that. We'll be doubling our current square-footage with the eventual move, we definitely have a lot of area to furnish once it's ours.<br /><br />Hopefully Columbus day will have awesome sales for you. Black Friday will also be here before you know it!J and Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09382504118165842592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830845345064787081.post-39566229494420024072013-09-13T13:48:24.602-05:002013-09-13T13:48:24.602-05:00No Returns can be hard!

Problem is I sometimes have to beg for the stores to hold some big items till then like the bedroom sets, sofas and refrigerator. Also Iwon't get a chance to reurn some things if they don't work out because I must have passed the 30 day return period when I actually get to try them. So S&P don't feel bad, it is a catch 22 situation either way you face problems.Happymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076614847441530084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830845345064787081.post-29020690250143726932013-09-13T08:54:22.939-05:002013-09-13T08:54:22.939-05:00Hey cebwicks!

I know accumulating stuff in a small space can be so inconvenient but you appreciate all the money you saved as soon as you get your space! Sales are important, you never wanna pay full price!

Instead, I've started buying stuff now as I see it on really good sale. What this means is the hubs and I are now sharing our 900 sq. ft. apartment with furniture for a 2100 sq. ft. house. Umm, yeah it's cramped. Haha, I don't think there's a right way to do it!cebwickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347103499117327017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830845345064787081.post-26153028763892960982013-09-12T17:49:10.007-05:002013-09-12T17:49:10.007-05:00Our couch is taking 16 weeks!!!
