Springfield:
I don't know why you should worry about your "Illinois furniture." We don't all go "Florida" immediately upon arrival! My mid-1950's St. Louis furniture still works even when palm trees are visible outside the window. And, some folks say it's nice!
Point is: yes, you're making a huge change in your life and lifestyle, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you should dump everything with which you've lived for years!
Whatever, welcome to our little bit of paradise, so they say!
