Last winter I ran a humidifier almost 24/7. This year I brought in all my potted herbs — about twelve 10" pots — and haven't had to turn the humidifier on once.

I consider all the junk furniture I was given when needing to furnish my first apartment a couple years ago as "placeholder." Bedside tables included. They're rather gross, actually.
My thermostat just happened to be in the perfect location to have a floor lamp in front of it.
I used a floating shelf with a picture frame on it to hide the intercom/buzzer, though....
