Next thing you know they are selling or giving away furniture for pennies on the dollar and paying for new “Florida” furniture. The insult is, they paid to move it all down here too!

Don’t be the person who has to have mattresses and junk piled at the end of their drives on trash pick up days for months on end.
Our mover (who is a close friend) advised us to compare the cost of the move to the cost of replacing our furniture.

Replacing our bedroom set alone would have cost more than our entire move.

And the Mediterranean style fits perfectly in our Florida home...
