Furnishing A New Home

Sometimes it is hard to get started when you are getting out on you own – balancing what you need and what you can afford. I have created a list by room on what are generally the essential pieces in a room that most people need. I have labeled some items optional since there are things that you really can live without when you are on a tight budget. The same optional items can be worked around with a little creativity.
