Any tips on where to buy nice wood pieces (need sideboard bedroom dresser) |
I would sooner get ikea before I got used. Yuck |
Craigslist, Miss Pixies, just about any nice consignment store. And I love me some Ikea, but I suspect the poster above is just trying to stir up trouble. There's nothing gross about used wooden furniture. |
Love second hand furniture. Check out estate sales. There are a lot of good deals if you can wait until the last day of the sale. |
You sound uneducated and ignorant. Like the type of person who would live in a far out exurb because they couldn't handle the thought of not living in a "used" house. I've found excellent used furniture via estate sales, Craigslist, and thrift shops. |
Is there an easy way to find estate sales in the area? |

Baltimore has some great thrift stores for used furniture - they post on the Baltimore craigslist. Seriously, the difference in price, for still excellent quality and recognizable brands, is worth the drive (especially if you are in DC or MD). |
Lots of good consignment options in the area. Miss Pixie's was mentioned, there's Capitol Consignment in Bethesda, Sage Consignment in Kensington, and others, I'm sure. Also check out Antiques Row in Kensington more generally. |
Here is my massive compilation from, I think, the DCUM listserv:

Do you have any you particularly like? If it helps, I lean toward Art Deco and Traditional with clean lines (not ornate, but beautiful, rich woods) |

Go scratch.. |
Modern Mobler specializes in Danish Modern. Very nice stuff, but not always a huge bargain. |
