Pillows
can add color and comfort.
Instead
of spending money on furniture, try a new color and/or pattern
for a new look.
To
defer the cost of a new piece for a little longer, try new pillows
(cushions) or a slip cover that matches the new piece that you
are trying to match, new color on the walls, new arrangement of
the room, the new art piece, or whatever. Money does not grow
on trees, so I am just making suggestions to try and keep as much
in your pocket as possible. A set of $60 pillows or $100 slip
cover is allot easier to stomach that a new $1500 couch. See my
point.
Another
idea is if you are (or someone you know) is handy with a sewing
machine, make your own. My wife and I bought a sofa when we first
got married that we fell in loved with. Five years later we grew
tired of it and it was not conducive to kids (and kids and husbands
messes) and wanted to move on. My mother who is extremely handy
with the sewing machine offered to make us a slip cover. We accepted.
My wife went to pick out the perfect fabric and she went to work.
It is absolutely beautiful and fit so much better with the decor
that the room has evolved into. 4 years later it still fits perfectly
into the new house and has slowed the badger of new couch talk
and it can be removed and laundered. Wow that easily turned thousands
of dollars into about a hundred dollars. Whew, that was a close
one. A little sweat will get you further than you think and could
save you a ton of money.

Think
about your Rear, Dear!
Furniture can look great, but if you do not like sitting on it,
I have one question. WHY?
Pillows
can add color and comfort.
Instead of spending money on furniture, try a new color and/or
pattern for a new look.
Don't
fill the whole space.
Too much furniture in a room can do the opposite of what you want.
It keeps people out.
