So how long have you gone without a bed before buying one? Or without anywhere to store anything. Forgive my cynicism but its easier to do it your way if you already have stuff and sounds like a lot of self-justification that your way must be better. I have no furniture, currently renting a fully-furnished house so its not like I have a choice about buying some

What on Earth is wrong with me acknowledging I'm moving into a new home, its not furnished, so going to a shop and buying furniture? Because I tell you what, I've gained a lot of memories over the last year trying to find the right house and we've spent months looking for furniture and finding the right one - yes in a shop, that we're happy with. And in a few weeks we'll finally be able to move in and within a couple of weeks it'll be furnished and it'll match, but most importantly it will all be ours
Then don't act so defensive when someone has a different opinion of style, or how to furnish a home. Be happy and comfortable with your choices. I said you sounded happy and having fun shopping with Amanda, if you remember that. I'm glad you're content, but I can still express my own opinions on style. Right?

How long was I without a bed before buying one? Quite a while, actually. Didn't seem a big deal to have a mattress on the floor while I looked for the right frame. I lived out of suitcases and plastic Tupperware bins for a long time, too. My first purchase as a young working (single) woman was an antique brass bed, because I'd always wanted one. I saved a long time for that, and that's just the way I've continued to operate, trying to have things I liked that didn't have to be on a credit card, getting things piece by piece.

You have your way and I have mine, we all think our way works because it works for us. No argument there.
