In an effort to keep costs down I've been looking on eBay for used furniture.
Craigslist locally has turned up nothing in my budget and in my style sense.
I have very specific ideas about what my dining room table set needs to look like and how much it needs to cost(not much).
And I don't want something "cookie cutter" I see in every furniture store.
I found this used set for $350, but it's in Southern CA and local pick-up only.
Gosh, I LOVE this!
By the time I pay someone to haul it to PA, I could have ordered something similar new from Italy!lol
Fat chance I'm going to find something as awesome as this around here.....
I found a few sets that would work but they seem to be in Illinois or someplace to far to rent a truck and go get it. sigh.
I am tempted to buy these chairs, aren't they cool?!........
And then find a metal chromed leg birch or glass topped modernistic table to go with them and use it all for a dining room set.
It's a small room so many of the sets I see are just too massive and big.
I want something fun that will be able to go with us to the next house.
Oh decisions, decisions.
I may have to break down and go on an excursion to Ikea down Philly to window shop some furniture and kitchen cabinets.
Can you believe I have never set foot in an Ikea before? 8-0
I've got my eye on a leather loveseat there.....
I hear both good and bad things about Ikea furniture. What's your opinion and/or experience with them?
What kind of furniture do you have in your dining room?
