Furniture Shopping Frustrations

So, I've been hitting up a bunch of furniture stores across Ottawa. I can't believe how hard it is to find something that I like. What I'm encountering is that the stuff is either the wrong size, wrong colour or wrong price (i.e. WAY too expensive). I'm trying to keep within a set budget but maybe my budget is a bit too presumptuous in terms of what I can get for the money. I want to get something that is decent quality so that it will last. I also want to avoid Ikea-ing out my house. I pretty much need everything for the house so I'm trying to prioritize what is more urgent than otehrs. I'm going to focus on the main floor first such as kitchen table, dining room table, coffee table, etc. The one thing that I did buy was a couple of bar stools for my raised breakfast bar. I got them from Mobilia.
