Great news -- our offer was accepted and we're in escrow! Now here comes the question...
So our lender ran our credit and got everything they need (ran credit, etc...); the escrow closes on May 15th. There is a great 18-month no interest, no payment on new purchases for furnature that we want to take advantage of. My question, do we have to wait until we're out of escrow or can we apply for this deal knowing that the loan is already in the process of being underwritten?
It is not ok to apply for new credit until you hear clear to close from your LO/Broker.
Our loan officer told us not to apply for anything, don't buy anything big, etc...several times.
In fact, there was a document we had to sign when we applied that's basically an acknowledgement that if we drastically alter our credit situation between applying and closing, we could be jeopardizing the loan.
There are always sales. And if you're closing mid-may, furniture stores will have massive Memorial Day sales going on within a few days of your settlement anyway.

Good points. Thanks for the heads up!
