Nadeau Furniture Warehouse

Buying a place is out of the question (damn those student loans). Remodeling your run-down rental? Not worth it.

Spruce up your space with some cheap lovin’ from Nadeau. The huge furniture and home accessories warehouse is off the beaten path but well worth the trek.

The former wholesale operation is now open to the public, offering its massive shipments from Indonesia and India at bottom-dollar prices. The imports are marked so low, you’re dished a handful of neon stickers upon entry to stake your claim before the next wide-eyed shopper beats you to it.

The treasure chest hawks both small gems (hardware and candleholders) and big sparklers (dining tables, armoires, desks, and chairs). Most items have an old-world style, though some are more modern — like the killer pagoda-inspired console tables in vivid chartreuse.

They’re worthy of some green.

Nadeau, 1128 Longpoint Avenue (214-655-1440 or furniturewithasoul.com).
