How often do you change your furniture

I change things every 5-10 years depending on what it is or if it needs to be updated. My couch needed to be updated because now I have kids and it was not kid friendly. I had to get another one and it had been 5 years. I won't update though unless I really really don't like something or if it's broken usually. I just don't have the money to do that.

I am like you can not afford that! I had one new recliner and couch once and I also bought a new brass bed which I had always wanted and will have the rest of my life probably haha, I have also bought a new stove, refrigerator and a deep freeze. I had bought those out of a couple tax refunds. I will probably never have new again especially with the little one spilling and such. I still have the recliner but it is getting in kind of bad shape and the couch I had to give up because it would not fit when we moved so now I have a 100 yr old one my parents had passed on to me haha. I do not want new furniture though until little one is old enough not to destroy things. He jumps on the couch and bounces even though I get after him he wipes hands on it instead of his napkin no matter how many times he sits there and watches me clean it off. I would love to have all new but I am sure it will be years down the road again. I can see rearranging but buying new that often I can not see. Has she passed on anything to you that is used? haha If it was something you liked offer her something maybe you can get her next to new stuff cheap!:-)

I guess I'm different from most of my friends who also seem to pop up with a new sofa or overstuffed chair every year.

I worked hard to get my house just the way I want it, and that's the way it's going to stay.

Maybe other people wonder if I'm too poor to buy a new lamp, or table, but I like the ones I have and since I'm the one who gets to live with them, there will probably only be a change in scenery around here if the furniture rots beyond use. (Even then, I would probably search the world over until I found exact duplicates to replace them.)

we change it after 10 yrs depends upon how they look..if they still r in good condition we wont change that.. whats the use......

i cange all the time i dont always buy new furniture but i move everything around about once every two weeks. it probably sounds crazy but i have to have change in my life all the time.

I'd like to be in a position to do that....I rented the house I'm in,furnished,for a few years,then got the opportunity to buy it complete with contents,so I still have all the stuff that was here,plus stuff I have from my Grandparent's home when they passed on..It's not a big house,but it gets cluttered..not Kim and Aggie bad,but I'd like sometime to get it a makeover!:)

it seems that your friend is rich and do not care to spend much money on furniture. be economical please, there are lot of areas for human being where he can spend money like education, entertainment, computer, travelling by air, i could not count it on my finger. so please save your money for other purpose also.

Hi there! We only change our furniture when it's too disgraceful and tatty to look at! At the moment we are on our 2nd sofa and chairs and one of the chairs has a rip in the arm. No doubt we'll live with that until our pup pulls all the stuffing out! Like you we've lived with our stuff, which is mainly pre-loved for a large number of years. I like to move the furniture around occasionally, especially in the lounge room to make things look a bit different. I update the cushion covers occasionally but that's about all. Anything else is just too expensive - I don't know how your friend affords it or why she does it! lol
