Ok, so here's the dilly - I just moved into a new apartment and need to fill it with stuff. Please post objects that you've purchased so I can get some inspiration and move past sleeping on a blanket on the floor surrounded by nothing.

do not buy stuff you don't need

"...You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you. ..."

how about you buy stuff you like (and don't need) rather than stuff we like (and don't need) ?

Room and Board - great quality, great service (they deliver and put together, will bring out any replacements, touch up paint, etc., really quite nice). Not cheap, but best value I've seen.
IKEA - some decent looking stuff, but not the greatest quality and one huge pain in the ass to put together.
West Elm - somewhere between those two above.
The Hive Modern - some great designer stuff, not cheap.
Give some numbers and people can post something more specific (you want to spend $1k for a couch or $10k?)

Thanks for the suggestions thus far, not really in need of furniture, more like objects - stuff for walls, etc. For example - I need a book case and a stereo.
Basically - What do y'all have in your apartment that you're satisfied with.

I also just moved; got a new huge apartment. We are also looking for suggestions for additions, since combined, our stuff doesn't quite "furnish" the whole thing.
