I sold an item this week on gumtree, the lady asked if I could deliver as it was bulky and she was 30 miles away. I was free that day so I said yes. When I got there I had to help her take it up to her flat, it was so bare, really clean but bare. We were chatting and she said she'd lived there since September but hadn't managed to furnish it yet, every floor was bare and she didn't even have a coffee table, the TV was propped up on the fireplace, not even a rug.
I can't get her out of my head, she was so so lovely and I wish I could help her to make her flat more homely.
We have recently redecorated and I have a large rug and some cushions, canvasses for the walls, a mirror and even a coffee table I can spare. Would I offend her if I offered these things? For free of course. I would love to help her but definitely don't want to offend her.
Should I mind my own business or is there a way I can offer the things without her being offended?
