Room Design

So I'm moving into a new room, 10' by 17', plus two closets. Sixth floor, windows face courtyard. Hardwood floors, mostly covered with a rug. I want to get a bed, a sitting area with tv, a computer area, and maybe a bar. I was thinking of an Ottoman theme.
Any ideas on the cheap?

I wonder how they do yard/garage sales in the city. Just have people come into your house?

You could always burglarize your neighbors for their Ikea.

Got any tools, Aydin? If you do, hit some firms up for the wooden packaging materials they receive products in/on, build your own furniture.

Yeah, I figure that if Ikea is out of the budget, there is little hope for anything but dumpster pickings.

Some of the finest furniture design/construction I've ever seen was done by a "girl" from found materials, using two tools - a swiss army knife and a sanding block.

See if you can steal a park bench from somewhere. If not, try a picnic table, those are usually not bolted down.

Problem with IKEA is that they skin you on delivery ($100 or so, for up to 8 items, from the Newark one). If you have a buddy with a truck (likely, because only faggots buy trucks nowadays), then IKEA would be the cheap option.

Note that their cheap mattresses are uncomfortable and, thus, a false economy. Although a mattress pad makes them tolerable.

Outdoor furniture is a theme worth exploring. I was thinking Ikea, but don't know anyone with a car. I'll have to see about using a company van for a weekend.

I have a car, but you wouldn't fit much furniture in it.
