Hello! I've never been on this board before .
I live in Lewisham, and we are just about to buy a 1930's semi. We are moving from a flat which has some habitat furniture, but is mostly furnished with ikea stuff. Our new house is much bigger, so we'll need bookcases x 4, sideboard, dining chairs etc and I'd like to start getting some stuff that will last.
Sadly I don't have vast wads of cash, so would like to get stuff from charity shops or second hand shops, but not 100% how it works. DH and I work full time, so no time to wander around hundreds of places, would an auction house be good? I found one closeish to here that seems to specialise in fine art prints! but I need something a little more reasonable than that. House clearance places perhaps? Do they have websites?
Have looked at some lovely shops (online) in Crystal Palace but the stock mostly mid-century teak stuff or Ercol. Not sure if our new house would suit that period. I guess what I need is a massive warehouse selling quite cheap reasonable stuff (Like Ikea ha ha?)
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
