Props to you, I know decisions like that aren’t easy to make in the moment. How great that you are getting an updated living room though!

I don’t know if I’d go with CL for a television, though. I’d rather get one with the warranty intact. My suggestion–wait until Black Friday, then get one for cheap new. That’s only 4 months off–not too bad. Or, if you’d like, I can keep an eye out for good sales. What size are you looking at?

I agree, CL is the best. I am so happy with the couches we bought. Same deal, someone moving. And we got sofa and love seat for less than the price of 1 of them. Browsing the listings can give you a good idea of what’s there. You have to be discerning and look through a lot of junky stuff, but the good stuff is there too. Just be sure you know someone with a truck 🙂

I’m telling you….you find some amazing stuff on Craigslist. You just sometimes have to be patient. We got our $1100 couch for $200 just cause the guy was moving cross country and didn’t want to haul a sectional. He would just buy a new one when he got there. Just sayin….

Same dilema here but I can’t make up my mind on even what I want so at least you have gone that far.

We have the same dilemmas. We waited for awesome deals on stuff we really wanted even though our front room sat empty with nothing but a thirty year old piano for 1 1/2 years. Totally worth the wait and the money we saved. We also repainted end tables and the coffee table and they look awesome! Next, I might just hang something on the walls, but not until this baby is born!

I don't think I'll get a flat screen tv until ours dies or someone gives us one.

A little at a time is good. Although it would certainly be wonderful to be in a place financially that you could just do it all at once. But it's okay to wait. :)
