Oh yeah - I'm of the opinion bare rooms look better than IKEA'd up rooms. I know thats what I'm going to do at my house - keep the rooms I cant afford to furnish empty until I can afford semi-decent stuff. I bought a living room suite at Marlo's for about 1300$. It's not too bad if you do one room at a time, and can stand looking at empty rooms for a while. Same with curtains/blinds.
