[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Facebook marketplace. I can’t believe all the $$ I wasted on buying new furniture when there was so much great stuff on marketplace. [/quote]

This! But it takes time, which I happen to have more of than money. Not everyone does. [/quote]

Not just Facebook marketplaces but estate sales, too.  In DC so much high quality stuff is sold at estate sales - and right now a lot is online.  Look at Bethesda Downsizing - they do a fair amount of high end sales, and have some nice sales on now.  Weschlers auction house is online, too.  I would 100% do a dining room from estate sales or auctions.

We just bought a place in Rehoboth and we did Havenly for the living room.  We thought that could set the tone, and from there we could figure out the other rooms.  It really helped to have one room put together.  Our designer recommended artwork and accessories that tie things together too.  But, we didn't buy the couch she recommended.  At the same time, we went to all the mid priced furniture stores to see what was out there and what we liked and didn't like - Ashley, Havertys, Marlo, etc, and found a couch with the same dimensions we could sit on and we really liked.

We actually bought new for the dining room (though we shouldn't have!), but we decided to just do a table and chairs, and hold off on a buffet or server until we lived in the space for a while.

Master bedroom we bought from Ashley, with night stands from Wayfair.

Kid bedroom 1 we bought off Craig's list.  Kid bedroom 2 we bought new because we needed a particular size loft bed, but if we had been more flexible we could have gotten used.  Guest room we lucked into a beautiful sleigh bed at an in person estate sale.

Bought all new mattresses from Mattress firm - wow, what an improvement.

Family room we bought an essentially brand new couch off somebody on Facebook marketplace.

We've supplemented with some things from Ikea, I've bought art I love from second hand places, and we've just pulled it together in a way that makes me really happy.  (and, once our finances recover, makes me want to do the same with our DC house.  But starting with Havenly was a great base.
