We brought all our favorite furniture down from New Hampshire. We have antique and colonial pieces that we have grown very fond of over the years. My wife has her dresser from when she was a teenager. These pieces of furniture have a lot of memories for us. We did not consider replacing them with beige Florida furniture. We have light colored walls and dark wood floors. The furniture goes well and has kind of an old Key West look. Some people may prefer getting rid of everything before coming down to The Villages and that is certainly a popular option, but we preferred keeping our favorite items. Bring down what you treasure and add some new pieces, if you wish, after you move down here. Be selective though, you can’t fit everything! We did get rid of a lot of excess furniture, tools, mowers, junk, etc., etc.. We made a plan of our house and only brought down what would look best and fit in our new Villages home.
