Easy Home Furniture

i'm trying to decorate & furnish my apartment on a student budget. anyone know any cute stores??

p.s. i'd prefer an actual store rather than ebay or overstock so that they'll move it in for me!
p.p.s. i'm in austin if that makes a difference

You can get some pretty interesting stuff to decorate your home with from Kirklands, or somewhere like Pier 1 Imports. You would be suprised what kind of amazing stuff you can find. And they are usually in or around pretty much any Mall, or big city area.

Check out how easy it is to make your own home decor with raw vinyl and Sizzix dies! Super fun and super easy!

Just looking for a nice furniture store/home decor store in the CA area, or an online store if that's easier :) Any stores will do.
Thanks.

Most of the biggies have websites, and most of the websites will direct you to a local store.

Lacks
Broyhill
Haverty's
Rooms to Go
Room Store

These are just a few. Try searching via Google for "furniture stores" in your area. You should get quite a few hits!

We are looking at a home to purchase. Smokers lived there previously and it still has an odor. There is no furniture in it anymore, and the carpets have been cleaned. I am told by the agent that it will fade. I am told by a friend that it will not ever completely go away. Will I have to repaint every surface/replace all flooring/ etc.? Help me out please.

I have to agree with the others. You will need to pretty much replace the carpeting and wash the walls with bleach and then repaint them. If it is real bad you will need to use a primer or even a oil based paint to seal in any odor that is left behind from the bleach wash. Then you will have to bleach out the cupboards as well. Put it this way, you should bleach the entire house. Something else you can do, if you replace the carpet pick up some Kliz oil based primer and paint the floors. That will seal the smell out and not allow it through your new carpeting. No need to paint with oil or latex paint since carpeting will be going in. If you plan to do hardwood floors than you will have to rip out the old floor and replace it entirely. Sorry, smoke is a nasty thing to deal with. Hopefully this will all help you. Don't forget to prime and paint the ceilings too. Remember smoke travels towards the ceilings. Wash with bleach first if you can. Also remember to open all windows and doors daily to air out as well. Good Luck! :)

I have alot of different things around my home and also this leads to clutter. Esp small items lying about. Is there a way to reduce clutter? Esp when I don't intend to buy anymore furniture eg cupboards at the moment for storage.
Any ideas that don't cost alot of money how I can store, pack and neaten my place and at the same time gain easy access to my belongings whenever I need them?

A place for everything and everything in it's place might be a bit too much to expect but it's something to strive for. I know it's hard to do, but try to get rid of those things that you don't use, haven't worn, and really have no use for. Those vacuum storage bags help reduce the amount of space needed for storage. Since you don't intend to buy any more storage containers, I think it's even more important to get rid of that useless stuff so you can better enjoy your home and possessions.
