I like to design my own furniture at home but I don't want to go through the trouble of learning AutoCad or a full CAD application. I want to 'draw' my own chairs, desks, cabinets, in 3D. What software would you recommend I use?
I've heard good things about coreldraw

Im going to start fresh and new at a new place, so I need everything. I want to get good quality things for my home but without the need of going to expensive stores to get them. Ive seen things like furniture at stores like target but I don't know if they really are good quality. Any help please?
I live in California.
Congratulations on your new place. As a professional home stager and real estate investor, I am frequently looking for inexpensive quality furniture and accessories, so here are a few of my favorite recommendations:
1) Furniture rental clearance centers (see if there is a CORT clearance center or American Furniture rentals in your area) - they offer great discounts on furniture, artwork, and accessories
2) Hotel liquidation centers - Universal Hotel Liquidators is the one I've used; great quality and prices on everything
3) TJ Maxx (HomeGoods) - has absolutely fabulous accessories, linens, artwork, and light furniture
Hope this helps.

I have a square room with large windows on the south wall, a smaller window on the east wall, a closet on the north wall, and an empty east wall. I have a large bookcase, a small cabinet, and two desks I am trying to arrange to be practical but not overwhelm and crowd the room, especially since it's all dark wood furniture. I've tried angling some of the pieces, separating the desks, putting the desks together to increase my workspace . . . I'm just confusing myself? Any suggestions? And please don't suggest those furniture arranging programs, I'd really just like to hear people's actual visions for arranging the furniture. Thank you!
How about putting one desk under the south window...then use the 2nd desk to form an L shape...(unless a 2nd person will be using this desk). If 2 people will be using the desks, put them under the south windows facing each other.
Then put the large bookcase on the east wall... under the window or beside it...with the small cabinet on the north wall (by the closet door).
With this arrangement, you can see out both windows and the door.
Have you thought about painting the desks a lighter color so the room won't be full of dark wood?
I would appreciate a few suggestions. I was initially thinking of nice leather but I heard it stains quite easily and I don't want sodas/food to spill over while watching TV. Do you have any suggestions for mid-priced furniture? My home theater is quite nice. I spent $10,000 for a Hi-Def TV, Blue-ray player, and Bose speakers. So I am not looking for a cheap look. Definitely nothing as cheap as Ikea or Walmart! But nothing tooo expensive as some of those 100% full top grain leather furniture I have seen in ads costing $3,500. . I am looking for a living room set - Sofas, Loveseat, recliner chair. Any links would be appreciated. Any specific suggestions as to what kind of furniture is resistant to stains, would also be appreciated. Thanks.
idk. But, I do know, I would to come over. Sounds, like your place is the place to be.
Have a good evening.

Recap: Mad Men – Season 3, Episode 7: “Seven Twenty Three” and ...
Betty continues to talk to the man she met at the Sterling’s party, Harry. She uses her civic league as a cover to meet him. After her meeting with him, they pass a furniture store and look at a fainting chair. He said that women would be so overwhelmed they would just pass out. Later, she buys the chair and places it in her newly decorated living room. Betty has always had the bored housewife syndrome and the purchase and the eroticism she gets from it are further examples of that.
Peggy is still being pursued by Duck to leave Sterling Cooper. She and Pete both receive expensive gifts, hers is a Hermes scarf. Naturally, she doesn’t want to return it. Peggy rarely receives any sense of accomplishment. She is the one always pursuing. She always feels like the one on the outside looking in and this is repeatedly shown throughout the series by having the boys meet and literally shutting the door on her face. Her only success comes from a feeling of vindication at times. Therefore, she likes that Duck wants her creative talent. Peggy also gets chewed out by Don and it’s brutal even by Don’s standards. He says that she should be thankful just having what she has because she just used to be a secretary. While that is true, Don knows talent and would not have been as supportive of Peggy if she didn’t have any. This scene is an important one to watch again. After that nice talk, she goes to return the scarf to Duck who is staying at a hotel downtown. Well, we all know who she ends up in bed with. The Peggy and Duck connection is absurd because they rarely shared a scene together last season. Yet, when you look at how they both are constantly looking for validation it all makes sense.
