We have lots of antiques and big furniture in our farmhouse in Seattle, so much. We bought a 1500 sq ft new CYV and before we get there the lanai is being changed to a fully useful Florida room including raising the floor so you walk right in flush from the kitchen. I am loving selling everything and moving into Florida mode, lighter, airier, away from the dark antiques and into a whole new feeling. It is freeing getting rid of stuff. Stuff is stuff, pepole make memories. Let others enjoy what you have and start anew. It is cleansing and puts life in a new perspective when you can give up the old and start anew! We looked at huge houses but settled on a huge back yard with a view that is amazing in the CYV. To me it is about the sun, the sunsets, the fresh air, the Happy Hours under the birdcage or in the Florida room looking at all the beauty outside.
But the houses availabe in TV, so many gorgeous. Hard to choose. but when dogs rule your life, well, it focuses you on what you need, not necessarily what you want. But when I saw the view and the huge yard, I was sold. Now I am downsizing and I love it.
