Money spent on furniture

[Anonymous]

Not sure but maybe $40k-$50k. 6 bedroom house, so lots of stuff, although maybe 3 of the bedrooms are furnished with Ikea stuff right now. Gradually accumulating nicer things but it's slow, and expensive..

Probably around $25k, but it's been over 20 years. Mostly Ethan Allen pieces, with some rugs and pieces from one of the mid-level stores that used to be in Tyson's Corner (I think near where the Disney Store is now - totally forgetting its name).

I have an old falling apart dining room table set we bought cheap when we were first married for about $300. I have wanted nice furniture for that room for a long time but never have the extra cash to get it done. I assume for table/chairs and a buffet it would be $5000. I would also like new livingroom furniture but I assume that is another $5000. My house will just continue to look shabby but clean!

Less than 10K.

Not important to us.

About 10k but still need to furnish a bedroom and part of an office in a 4bedroom colonial.

Bought a 3br house last year. So far have spent $3500. Mostly nice quality stuff from craigslist or the local thrift store. Some from Amazon and Home Goods. Don't need anything more that's major, although I'd like to re-do kitchen. Already bought a large buffet heading in that direction.

I'n guessing most of these numbers are way off unless you actually keep track.

Maybe $15K? But we've inherited a fair bit of furniture.

I'm the 11/18/2104 12:48 poster and I do keep track, so my info is accurate.

My rough math, with window treatments, etc is between $150K and $175K - 7Br, 6Ba - 5500SF plus basement
