[quote=Anonymous]I am blessed that I have inherited a bunch of antiques and vintage furniture, just about all of the case goods (not upholstered).  Those items make up the majority of what I have, and I think I purchased one or two from from my aunt.

I still have some things from childhood too, though I'd like to replace them since they aren't really my style anymore.

I have purchased just a few things over the last 18 years or so.  My HHI is now around $150K but 12 years ago it was closer to $50K.  I tend to purchased antique or used for non-upholstered items and new for upholstered items.  I have gotten a few upholstered items used, but very carefully because of bedbugs.  And the LaZBoy items I've purchased I did through the outlet furniture companies in NC (and saved about 1/3).

Purchased items include --

Purchased New (about $7-8K total):
LaZBoy leather sofa & loveseat. Leather chair, two bookcases, File cabinet, BR rug, a large painting by an artist friend

Purchased Used ($2K or less total):
Dining table and chairs, used from someone at work
DR silk Pottery Barn curtains, used from someone at work
Two rugs, Coffee table & crystal chandelier, Ikea Ektorp chair, Christmas tree, all from Craigslist
Kitchen chairs, from Goodwill (and they're great!)

The rest I purchased from the house's previous owner (about $3-4K total):
LR sofa, assorted chairs, and one rug 
Antique DR Buffet 
China, some lamps, a few nick nacks
