The only pieces of furniture in the living room that have been paid for are the record cabinet and the bookshelf.
Let me introduce you to our ragtag gang that somehow form a more cohesive room than I ever would have expected. I’m going to kind of go chronologically so you can see the order these pieces arrived in the apartment. I’ve even named and priced them like you’d see in a catalog ;)




[Not Pictured] Kyle’s Record Cabinet $2. Currently covered up and holding my Christmas tree.


[Not Pictured] Jackson Speakers $0. Given to us by Doug’s parents, they elongate the desk and make it more “entertainment center-y.” You’ll see.

For those of you keeping score, Total cost of living room furniture: $32
Of course, paint and decorative items raise the total of the room. Duh. But getting most of our stuff for free allowed us to invest in other items and generally bring the “look” together.
Questions? Comments? I would love some feedback.
