I just recently heard how furniture outgasses for up to two years. It's made me consider buying used or even antique furniture, much in the line of what you are doing. It's cheaper, and if it's old enough, more than likely you end up with a much higher quality piece. Not to mention the value goes up instead of down! I've also found that those plastic shower curtains are stinky. The fabric ones last so much longer. And for the record, not all toy manufacturers find PVC should be removed. Although it's proven harmful, you can still find it in plenty of things, including items made for chewing! It's stressful to toy shop! Great ideas!
