Furniture from scratch only second-hand? It is possible – and even in style! Resale sites such as Marketplace and Kijiji are full of treasures for budget-conscious and eco-conscious decorating enthusiasts. To demonstrate this, La Presse put itself in the shoes of a young adult who moves into his first apartment and decides to buy – almost – everything used, from the bed frame to the dining room table. The constraints: the parts must be in good condition and be within a 25 km radius of Montreal. Budget: $1500.
