    This chair could be reupholstered for a bedroom and this round table might be used for small dining area. Also might have sone resale value say $200. The rest no.

    You could use Allinonepaint to paint that table to update it and fit into your color palette.

    It depends on your taste, budget and what you already own. The book shelves look very nice and practical (on my small cell phone pic). Our children recently moved to a larger home and bought several items from the sellers at a nominal amount. With a limited budget for furniture at the moment, they are very happy to use several pieces that are quite nice, but maybe not forever pieces.

    None of it is particularly valuable. The question is one you need to decide as to whether you have the money to replace these items with stuff that you either like better aesthetically or functions better in the space.


    I furnished my homes originally before there was cheap furniture like IKEA and so I had a lot of furniture like that because I needed furniture and I was either getting it free or picked it up relatively inexpensively at thrift stores or the equivalent. My mother also furnished her home in this manner.


    Eventually as time went on I would replace items I didn't like with new stuff - or even "vintage" stuff that was more my taste and style.


    It all was recycled. For example, the gate leg dining room table that had been in my childhood home and used as a dining table when there was a formal dinner was given to me for my first apartment in NYC. I moved it to California where I used it for awhile but then replaced it with a large oval table when I had the money and space to use it. The table has been sitting in my friend's garage for 30 years where it is used to put things in - sometimes it is small and sometimes one of the leaves are propped up for awhile to enlarge the surface

    Helen I like the old stuff better. Better quality as well. IKEA only gets me to 5-7 years before it starts having problems. I´m not particular tight on money right now but I will like to give some of the furniture a new chance. I will definitely try to update the items by painting them. The old items I like as they have something special, I sort of personality to them. For the kitchen I will need new modern high functions furniture.

    Mrs. Beasley, If you like the bed you will love the nightstands. I had mixed feeling about the bed frame (even tho I can say it´s interesting) and I decided to keep it because the nightstands are beautiful. When Ill have better photos I will post some for you to see :)

    Keep the dining set, paint and change the fabric.


    I'm usually not a fan of a huge hutch; I would consider keeping it. That's a lot of storage for "free". There is one about the size of yours on Arhaus and it is $10,000.00
