I couldn't replace the BR set for the cost of moving everything...

DON'T BRING FURNITURE
WE BROUGHT FURNITURE...

Our BR set fits better here that it does up North. The expensive futon is perfect for one of the extra BRs. It's very comfortable as a couch and as an additional queen size bed.

Neither are the "heavy dark wood" that others say "don't fit in FL's decor". But neither are they the cheap composite wood so much furniture is made from these days. As is the repurposed and repainted dresser/night table we're using for the other BR. Solid Ash. And the large armoire that fits perfectly in the LR? Similar finish to our BR set. Great for extra storage and where TV section was will be my wife's "sewing station"...

Our BR set alone would cost more to replace than it cost for the entire move...

Now granted, we still have a home up north, so we were able to pick and choose what pieces we wanted to keep. The rest will be eventually sold...
