mom60, I feel your pain. DS is in Boston with an apartment full of Ikea we bought last year. Coming back to CA end of summer. Living at home for a year before (hopefully) going to law school somewhere in CA. I’m actually paying to have the stuff moved professionally cross country. It’s cheaper than rebuying. I’m also going to be out of the country when he moves…I guess I can kiss that apartment deposit goodbye because I can’t imagine him doing a thorough cleaning…LOL.
The good news is he is finishing a year early so I’m saving more than all the move, etc. will cost.
Guess we will do as you did and put Ikea stuff in garage, so much for getting a car in there again.
As far as your D, best bet seems to be Target, garage sales, craigslist. Wishing her luck.
