It can't say but so old...I'm only 45! Though I do have to admit to owning an early 20th century bedroom suit that was mine as a child -- my grandmother's first purchase when she graduated teachers' college in Farmville -- which is currently sporting a lovely brand new teal silk comforter ensemble embroidered with peacock feathers.

But seriously...I get that the traditional southern "sitting room" is a no-no, but what else won't fly in decor de Florida? (Somebody PLEASE tell me Disney cels are allowed...I've been collecting for years)

I've envisioned something between a Victorian beach cottage in Nags Head and a Spanish villa, with a little Margaritaville thrown in for good measure. Am I close? If this is indeed the case, my packing list will be short (bedroom suit, Tiffany light fixture, Disney stuff, flat-screen tv...and a toothbrush)!

Now all I need to do is get the hubs down for a lifestyle visit and pick out a CYV! Easy, right?
