Hello QVC Family - I was on a website call Next Door (it is a neigboorhood site) and a few neighboors posted remodels of their homes.  The furniture was so spectacular, it looked like what you would see on TV House Wives Show. 

My question is does anyone know of online furniture stores that sell really nice things.  I know about ballard designs and the "FAMOUS" Z Gallerie.  My taste is more on the "Z Gallerie" side.

I have looked in my local furniture stores like marlo, macy's but the furniture and accessories did not HOLD A Candle to the items I saw on the site.  Well, all comments are welcome. 

Also I dont' have the money for a decorator, so I'm learning on websites, via magazines, and just keeping pictures to try and create it on my own.

Just a few suggestions based on my experience:

Visit the best furniture store in your area. See what brands they carry that appeal to you, Look at the furniture and it's construction- don't freak out over full retail price,.then look up those brands on line. See if you can buy items from reliable retailers in North Carolina.

I found that the best store in my area had sales (usually late winter and late summer) that beat NC prices on some items.

Also, consider hiring a decorator/ designer for a consult. A little money well spent. That's how I found out about a small, local department store that had almost-top-of- the-line furniture at excellent prices.

For case goods (tables, shelves, dining chairs) look into local auction houses, estate sales and garage sales/ moving sales and yes, Craig's List.

Happy Shopping!

Is there a way you can post some of those pictures? That might help us help you. I think it's more of just having a eye and putting things together.

@Happiness Is Inside JOB:  If you NextDoor site is like mine, people ask all kinds of questions on what they see there.  Ask the people who have done these remodels, and I am sure they would be flattered to tell you where the furniture/accessories came from.

This is where I purchased new furniture a few years ago, mainly from Boyles Furniture, there are great deals to be had in High Point. Usually, if you spend enough the shipping is free.

@waterlily:  They send you a quote on what you would like to purchase?  Cannot see prices?

You can call them too.

I'll go to the instructions area to read how to post a few of their picutures.

I'll be back.

Definitely ask on Nextdoor to get  your answers.  Also, most of the tv decorating shows seem to use Wayfair.  In our area, decorators go to The Dump for many of their needs, but I have no idea how many states this store is in.  They have great prices and just about anything that you could need or want for your home decorating.
