My bedroom is a mishmash of different styles and designs

My bedroom is a mishmash of different styles and designs. I have a futon as a bed, which is great because I live in New York, so space is limited.

I can put it into “couch” position if I’m having people over for movie night, and the rest of the time it makes a comfy bed.

I have two bookshelves, one that I made myself out of scraps, and one that I salvaged from the sidewalk.

I have a short white dresser, and a tall green dresser that my sister gave me. The space I have is small, so to make it look larger I put a full-length mirror on the wall horizontally.

It creates the illusion that I have another window, and people compliment me on it all the time.

I picked these pieces basically because they are what I could afford when I moved in: mostly free, or else inexpensive. Read more »

Indeed, the deal was a steal because not only were prices a little lower, I got a big discount for buying the floor model.

Comparable futons at retail shops in Atlanta were $500-1000, and mine was $230. Read more »

Bob’s Discount Furniture in Worcester, MA

I have tried to shop in a furniture outlet twice now. I went to Bob’s Discount Furniture in Worcester, MA.

The first time I went, I needed to find a couch that would fit through a narrow doorway.

The man helping me was very nice, and explained everything they had there. As it turns out, they did not have anything that would fit through the doorway, so I was unable to purchase anything.
