Forage for your own furniture. If your property is wooded, you may be able to find your next coffee table right out your back door. No acreage? Keep an eye out for trees being removed in your neighborhood and ask the tree service folks (or your neighbor) if they would be willing to part with a section — if it was destined for wood chips, they might not mind sharing. You'll want to throughly clean any wood that has been outside and look for evidence of bugs before bringing it inside.
