check for The Saint Vincent DePaul Society. I know they run a couple of stores her in St. Louis (unfortunately one was damaged in the Ferguson events of late). The other is the online site called Wayfair. I have gotten a couple of good items from them at pretty reasonable prices and it never hurts to look. Some stuff there was overpriced to be sure, but it's all about finding the right item that will serve your needs.

I recall when I bought my first house decades ago. I called the decor "Early Empty" as I had no furniture beyond an old restaurant table in the kitchen with 2 chairs, a bedroom set and a desk. Bookshelves were blocks & boards the TV was a 13" B&W.
