This has been made easier for us as we have never lived in a large home and many pieces we have we bought scaled down in size to begin with. What you decide will be personal to your situation.

When we went to The Villages furniture store (don't remember which one as there are two) they had our home and placed the furniture we were purchasing scaled in the rooms they were going to be. It was a GREAT help because I decided to not have a sofa and a love seat as I didn't want to take up all my living room with furniture, so I purchased two loveseats! No one sits in the center of the sofa anyway and the loveseats have recliners in them! They gave us a copy so we can see what we have purchased as we make our decisions as to what to bring.
Like you, I can't find a dining room set like the one I have here so we are taking it! I don't want to buy all new and I don't want to move a lot of stuff.
My thoughts... from someone who hasn't move in over 35 years is that trying to move stuff sometimes ruins it! So.... We will move as little as possible. It seems the more I think about packing things that may or may not make it... The more I think I want to buy....
