Cohousing-L Mailing List: furnishing our common house

[Silke Williams (swilliam]

As our coHousing group is getting closer to completion, we're starting
to think about how to furnish the common house.
Does anybody have advice on things like ... 
... how to make the common house functionable and inviting on a budget
that's almost entirely eaten up by construction costs
... mistakes you made when furnishing your common house 
... things that proved to be invaluable
... or anything else related.

Thanks for your input,

Silke Williams
