I would love to toss our computer desk, there is not enough room on it and its starting to bend in the middle, I fear one day my computer is going to wind up in my lap.
I would also like to get rid of my husband white chair he has from Ikea, He has had it for years it is old, not very white anymore. I would like to replace it with a love seat or a recliner.

RCT,
I will trade you a double bed for your futon. I was telling dh that our spare bed room would be so much more spacious without the bed. Yet, we would still need a bouble bed for when the inlaws come. (Yes, again in 2 weeks!! ARRGGGGHHH!)
I would even throw in a green yucky chair. It looks good with an afgan thrown over it!!!

Right now I can't think of anything that I would want to ditch. LOL I pretty much like all of the furniture I have... even my futon. (it's SO comfy) Now a few years ago before I did ditch a bunch of it to get new stuff I could have given you a huge list... but not now. LOL
Diane... :wave:
I've got a fifteen year old blue lazy boy recliner that I would love to ditch. We also have an entertainment center from Target that I would love to see burn in the fire pit someday.:)

It would probably be the blue recliner dh's parents handed down to us. Surprisingly, it did NOT become dh's chair, but dd's!!! lol
It's just so BIG.

Can't think of anything I would like to get rid of.
Every year we have a garage sale, and I stick all the stuff that I am sick of in the sale :)

I hate, HATE my living room couch. (What the heck was my mother thinking??!!) It looks great, until you sit on it for a minute.....then all the cushions start sliding around. I decided over Christmas that I'd had enough and I'd buy a new one. So now I'm trying to decide what type, color, style, etc. UGH! As I've mentioned, I don't do change well! LOL

I hear that. I'd like to get new living room furniture just because I'm tired of the fabric. We've had it 8 years and it's got another 10 years wear at least. It's really good furniture. Thought about re-apolstering (sp) it but was told that would cost nearly as much as buying new. I may try to get some custom slip covers. Definitely going to toss all my end tables and coffee table as soon as I decide what to use instead. Any thoughts on unconventional items to use.
Kat, that's not necessarily true. It depends on the price of the fabric. I got my small sofa recovered last year...$200 for the labor, 10 yards of fabric for about $20 per yard (good, chenille fabric, I didn't try to be frugal) so $200 for that.... I got a whole new sofa custom made for the room for $400....I couldn't duplicate that new at all!
