Welcome to you both. I hope you enjoy every day of at least two hundred years in Paradise. You picked a wonderful Village because our dear friend JoJo lives there and Mom2five too, just to name a couple!

Ikea in Orlando has inexpensive furniture. We rented a trailer three times to bring things from our other house here. It requires a trailer hitch and rental for trailer one way is about two to five hundred dollars. I find that a lot of us had extras and duplicates to bring.

You need to go to Bargains and treasures frequently because their merchandise changes a lot. They are filled up right now!! It is amazing what you can find at Target in the way of small tables etc.

Also, I had ruled out Southern Lifestyles but shopped in Cincinnati found what we liked, told Southern Lifestyles and they gave us a better price on the bedroom set. When you go in there, sometimes the first impression makes you feel that everything is quite expensive. Tell them the item and the manufacturer and they will beat the price, delivery is free and they will set it up for you.

Good luck and welcome once again.
