can't afford to furnish it

We have just bought a small apartment but can't afford to furnish it.
... but have no money to buy furniture and decorate it.

Hi,
Does the second in the above correctly explain the first one? Thanks.

Hi, #2 adds the idea of decorating. This could, for example, involve painting. Best wishes, Clive

Thanks, Clive.
To make sure I get it right, do you mean "furnish" or "decorate" involve painting?

Decorate might involve painting. However, furnish does not imply painting. It means filling the house with stuff.
