As for the furnishings. I found all of mine in the "As Is" bin at Ikea. They change out their displays from time to time and those items go in, and people are always returning things that I guess didn't fit or whatever. I found everything there, over a couple of visits, and not one thing had anything wrong with it, even a great leather task chair. If you have an Ikea in your area, check them out.
