furniture recs?

[wendykh]

I'm furniture shopping for new apt.
I like cheap. Cheap is good.
I LOVE Ikea stuff. But... How do I put this... I am so burnt out on it and sick of it. But I like the following qualities: light and minimal.

Anyone have ideas for where I can shop? I hate hate hate super heavy bulky furniture.
Yes I am scavenging.

Oh yeah, in other news? Husband is all happy and open minded about Ruby. He has gone from dog hater to being totally willing to try it out. I know my husband... and with this dog's temperment, they're gonna get on great.

see you are so smart. I have never been there before. There's the right idea. I can't do my whole house new just yet, but we agree there's two places we can't compromise: a bed and sofa-bed, both of which must be new. Everything else can be garage sale joys :-D

Orlando has to have a freecycle group or 2. Acquaintances recently furnished their living room (nearly new) and kitchen (a couple of years older but in great shape) with furniture through the group.

What about a rooms to go type of store?

I find their stuff really heavy and bulky. I mean it's nice, but it seems so HEAVY to me, not the kind of look I am into. That said, I am basing that on my online browsing. I should go look in a store since I have so many near me.

Yeah, FLorida is where I first discovered that store. I'm buying Elliott's bed from there when we move. I prefer Ikea stuff though.
