Setting up house for the first time?

Question

What kind of things do I need? We have no furniture or anything! I plan on getting as much as I can new but I don't know what all we need! It's just my fiance and I and it's our first apartment on our own. Our furniture consists of a dresser and an entertainment center, that's it. Does anyone have a list of stuff we'll need?

Answer 1

  Oh come on, think about your daily schedule & what you'll need to make it work......

  Is there anything at all in the house you're moving into?

  What do you use in your Apt. that's provided for you now?

  Granted it can be a tad overwhelming to think about, but you're being kinda lazy.....

Answer 2

Depends on the life you lead but ...

Plates, cutlery, cups, straws.

Pans and dishes.

Beds, chairs, table

Plasma tv, sky box - unless you have other ways to entertain yourself!

Anything else is peripheral.

:-*)

Answer 3

BASICS:

living room furniture--no matter what it is..you are going to want something to sit on!!

dishes

silverware

cutlery set

cups

pots, pans

fridge

microwave

trash can(s)

organizational structures for all the "junk" im sure you don't think you have..it is never as much as it looks like until you move it!!

desk (especially since you are in school)

bed

lamps

towels

blankets

pot holders

cooking utensils

NON ESSENTIAL BUT NICE TO HAVE

dining room table/chairs

end tables

night stands

air conditioner

more lamps

blender

toaster

coffee pot

extra freezer (helps save money on grocery bills..)

book shelf

tv

entertainment stand

it's a lot to buy...i would suggest checking out sites where you can get stuff for free or cheap.

craigslist (www.craigslist.org) has many listings..some free, some charge..can usually find good deals.

then, see if there is a freecycle in your area .. it is a yahoo! group (www.freecycle.org) i have gotten many free things on there..it is just free stuff people dont want anymore..

it may not be perfect, but you will get what you need (as mis matched as it may be..) and you can replace it one piece at a time with stuff that you want!

hope this helped!
