After we had been married for a while, and we bought the house we are in now, we invested in our "forever" furniture. We started with our couch (very well made with hand tied springs) and it is STILL in our family room today (28 years later- recovered of course. It is also a sleep sofa with a serta mattress.) We are also still using our solid maple dining table for our kitchen and we purchased well made furniture for our kids' rooms as well. We don't regret these purchases. The rest of our furniture are antiques inherited from family, and second hand pieces bought at antique stores!!

Girl!!! 🤣🤣🤣 That crate and barrel outlet!!! My mom and I took a trip down from Milwaukee a couple months ago because I had heard the crate & barrel outlet had really good prices on things like linens, curtains, etc... I heard outlet and thought it would be a good deal. We left with absolutely nothing! 🤣🤣🤣 That was definitely a waste of a day off for me. Glad you found some items that worked for you though!

You have such good taste and are so artistic, so maybe you could explain to me the allure of all those whites and neutrals you are buying. Don't you like colors or patterns? Something to make your home seem unique, and not like all the other Magnolia clones? I don't want to sound mean, but as an artist myself, all those bland boring shades are almost offensive. I wish you luck and happiness in your lovely new home, but I wish you would spice it up a bit.

It is exciting to buy a first home, however; many of us tune in for the DIYs. It seems like your dollars could have furnished the whole house, along with a little elbow grease. In the end, your home would have been a study in BOHO decor that was rags to riches. If you start with riches, where is there to go?

do these high end store products actually have a better quality than lets say target for example? or is it just same quality furniture with a brand name? im genuinely curious
@tinalemac3 жыл бұрын
I think it depends on the brand, for example, Target carries some solid wood pieces at an affordable price but other pieces may be made with particle board and MDF. It definitely varies more on quality control as well! I always like to read reviews before deciding on what I purchase (: Great question!!

I just can’t get over their prices - handmade or not I can find even cooler pieces with some History and maybe need a little love and restore it to its former beauty from second hand treasures (wood pieces or reupholster projects)

RH gives me impression everything belongs in a concrete castle... for stuff like dining table, benches etc. you may consider to have one made for you by a local carpenter exactly how you want it. These pieces are something you'll have forever and any kind of repairs in the long run are much easier to do. Also you know where the wood is from and that the craftspeople were paid a living wage.
