mrs:
This is, of course, a very personal decision. Particularly for such a youngster as you!
When I came six years ago, I did bring most of my "up north" furniture because I'd been living with it for more than 40 years and it was comfortable. And, I must admit to having thought about what my late wife would have done, and knew that her "treasures" would come to Florida, too!
I still have that old stuff. My antiques-savvy niece says most of it is indeed antique and worth good money. Since my daughters didn't want any of it when I moved, I'm betting that they'll enjoy the money it'll bring when I'm gone!
The fact that my living room and dining room furniture doesn't meet "Florida lifestyle guidelines" bothers me not one whit!
From a purely practical point of view, moving lots of furniture may conceivably cost you more than buying new!
Welcome to TOTV. Enjoy!
