Keyword there is "find"
If your hobby is trawling second hand and antique stores, yard sales, estate sales and online classifieds looking for just the perfect high quality but affordable end tables that match your decor. Then go on with your bad self, I bet your house looks sweet.
I can go onto the Ikea website, find some cabinets that will do the job, I can check the measurements, pick my color, click a few buttons and they arrive at my house in a few days.
Yep. I've found high quality old furniture at estate sales, but it's never matched my decor.
I'm not gonna complain about paying $50 for a couch made back in the 1960s that still feels brand new, though. Even if it's dark purple.
Thats when you go to the hardware store, get a 1L tin mixed up in the same purple and paint some other shit in your place so it looks like its by design.
