When we moved into an actual house 10 days ago we had to leave our matresses behind, I've been sleeping on an air matress with the missus and K on the floor with my sleeping bag. No furniture. The kitchen is well stocked thanks to some fore thought on J's part.
We went to Smith's Trading Co. yesterday to look for whatever we could find. This place is great, it's just a big warehouse filled with mattresses and stoves and chairs and all manner of things from hotels. When hotels upgrade their furniture the upgrade ALL of it, somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 rooms. That's 200 beds, chairs, mini fridges, tables and TVs. Sure they're scuffed from years of people not caring about them but they still work just fine and they're a steal compared to buying new.
We scored 3 chairs, 4 tables and 2 mattresses. It's a really nice upgrade from an air mattress to a king. Now our house looks like a hotel room. No room service though :/
