We've finally got our house on the market :yay: and it looks fabulous. Of course, we have a storage unit full of stuff that will hopefully eventually go into the new house. Problem is....we need new living room and dining room furniture. I'm fine buying used if it is great quality, but I don't know what I should be looking for.
1)Dining room table - currently have a mahogany-finish table that seats 6 that won't be coming with us. We need something bigger for sure. Up to 12-14ish would be great.
2)Living room sofa/chairs - currently have a chaise-style sofa that I love, but it is well worn and won't be coming with us either. I just read the "leather sofa" thread, and I'm game for leather. The house we're considering offering on again, eventually, has a longish living room, so I'm not sure the chaise style would be the best. The fireplace is at one end and the current owner has the TV at the other end of the room. If we mounted the TV above the mantel (too high?) or put it in the corner of the room, we may be able to get away with a sectional, but I wonder how much people like them.
So...while I wait for showings to get our house sold, will you guys offer up your furniture dreams so I'm at least a little more informed when it comes my time to buy something?
