Vida B.

Altogether, 6 pieces. Table, bench, 4 chairs.

This set normally costs about $3,500, so of course I'm looking to spend less than that if possible.
Ack! Thanks for the answer so far, it's looking like I should just go ahead and buy the set instead!

Answer
I would charge no less than $5,000, more depending on what type wood you wanted. I can't compete with China.

How much will it cost to completely furnish a 2 bedroom apartment?

Q. I'm just looking for an estimate. Like if the apartment had no dining room and just the living room and I used the second room as an office. How much would the initial cost be? (furniture, appliances, dishes, etc.)

Answer
I think that entirely depends where you are purchasing your items. If say, you are buying everything from Pottery Barn, that could run up a very large bill. However, if you do a mixture of bargain hunting, high end and low end, you can save a good amount of money. Home Designers are also noticing that buyers are going to Target and Walmart type stores primarily in this day in age, so they have made things that look much more expensive than they are to appeal to the public. You can find really great pieces and great looking decor at places like these. Even Nate Berkus has had a collection at Target and he did Oprah's house! I Splurge on things that will stand the test of time, like a great sofa. The smaller things like dishes don't need to be splurges (unless you absolutely love a certain collection, and have to get it, then its worth it) All in all, furnishing a home doesn't have to be costly if you know where to look. Don't forget goodwill if you're a good DIY person! âº

Here is a good example of some mixtures of high end/low end:
(Also i didn't know if this was a man or a lady asking this, so i tried to be pretty gender neutral) âº
