Furn®e purchases repre- sent. nex! io a home, possibly the largest investment you'll make in your lifetime, parti- cularly if you are in your twen- ties or thirties, so think careful- ly before buying. A bargain is not a good buy if it isn’t right for your home. Seconds or slightly damaged new furniture can be a bargain, but before you buy, find out how much the necessary repairs will cost. These can be especially good bargains if you are handy al fixing furniture and if you have time to spare for shopping, carting and the fixing. Other good buys can be obtained at garage sales, auctions and thrift stores. It helps if you are good at antiquing and refinish- ing and have a good imagina- tion. If you are young and just starting to buy, select with an eye (o the future. Sturdy and in- expensive ~ canvas fold-up chairs, for instance, might do now for the kitchen area and can be used later as porch furni- ture. And play safe by choosing go-anywhere furniture which easily al a new location. Wall unit bookshelves are a good example of this. They may go into a livingroom, familyroom or even bedroom. When the sales are in pro- gress, as I have mentioned in a previous column, the better fur- niture stores often have the best buys. They will reduce many items to almost half their ori- ginal price to make room for new pieces. The selection at these stores are also better and so is the furniture. And remem- ber. shop around!
