Where to go for cheap furniture Goodwill, word of mouth from friends and family, yard sales, and moving sales. Wooden pieces I will buy from anywhere and will dive into a dumpster even, fabric/leather pieces much more picking with. Rugs are easy to clean or have cleaned. Always do the smell test, if you gag run away. You can paint anything, even fabric covered chairs. Get an idea of what you want your space to look like, and feel like. Create idea books in Houzz for each room. This will give you a guide to what you like. Less is more. You don't have to fill every room. Get basics first and everybody has a different idea of basics. Find yours. Put only things that you love in your house, and everything will look great. It will be a home filled with love.

A Cuckoo clock!!! We have had a cuckoo clock back home forever with really great travel memories.

I found a bunch of stuff last year while dismantling my bed and cleaning under it. There was stationery, old socks, a kitchen cloth, earrings and chew toys ... all hidden there by my dog (he being tiny could access its deepest sections). He was quite disappointed that I found his stash -- I on the other hand was quite amused and happy.
