These suggestions are great to point me and others in the right direction. For anyone interested in sustainable products I recently found a company that has a really good cause. Imagine Home (in Atlanta) designs home accessories and employs those in impoverished regions to handcraft them. Proceeds from sales go back to the individual crafters for education, resources, and overall well being. www.imagine-home.com I appreciate this post being a socially conscious Atlanta consumer myself!

You are absolutely right about the coffee table, for $17 it has a ton of potential. However, unlike you I love the knotty pine look.

I am from a smaller town in SE Mn, but these are the 2 largested areas near us. Rochester is about 1 hour away & the Twin Cities are 2 hours away. Thanks for your consideration!

I would be most concerned about that if you're buying a bed -- as in mattress and all. With a couch, I don't know that I'd be <em>as</em> concerned. Like I said, you'd definitely want to give used, upholstered furniture a good cleaning before using it. But I can definitely understand why you'd say that :) @TheBrokeSocialite Thanks for de-lurking :)

You have SUCH a wonderful eye... you're right: $17 and a little paint would turn that god-awful coffee table into a cutie window seat in a child's room. Okay, is it weird that I get kinda grossed out by the idea of bringing someone else's chairs/sofas/beds into my house? I keep imagining creepy crawlies on them... my own hang-up, seriously. I'm missing out. <abbr><em>MyBrownBabys last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/iqIC/~3/529426683/celebrating-black-history-month-all-day.html" rel="nofollow">Celebrating Black History Month All Day, Every Day</a></abbr></em> Aw shucks–deals for Atlanta!
