      Home Sense is awesome! The Bay also has some great stuff. Our dining room table is from there & so is our family room couch. Towels & sheets etc always go on sale for Bay Days, so I usually stock up then! My favourite furniture store is Crate & Barrel. I love our couch from there & we have a media cabinet. I'd buy everything though, if I could. We'll eventually get a small sectional for the family room from there I think. Urban Barn is also great, & they have insane sales sometimes. Same with Pottery Barn!
