How to Furnish a Room for 350 Dollars or Less
HOW TO 
Tags: Furnishings, Buying Furniture, Inexpensive Furniture
You finally have your own living room, now all you need is something to put in it.
| 1. | If you don't own a pickup truck, find a friend or family member who does. Offer the friend a pizza and a 6-pack (around $20) or some other favor in return. |
| 2. | Know the space you are working with. Make 2 lists: 1) stuff you want for your living room, 2) stuff you actually need. |
| 3. | Ask your friends, your entire family and all of their friends if they know anyone getting rid of furniture. You'll be shocked how many people are moving, or buying new couches at any given time. |
| 4. | Next stop, garage sales and thrift stores. They might have ugly couches but as long as they don't smell you can work with it. |
| 5. | Look at websites like www.craigslist.org for free and cheap furniture. A lot of people with post a CURB ALERT before they put a chair or table in the trash. |
| 6. | Talk to your more artistic friends about giving you their work. Photos, paintings, and other unique items will spruce up the place quickly. |
| 7. | Once the big stuff is out of the way, smaller stuff like magazine holders, side tables, and whatnot can be picked up cheap from stores like IKEA. |
