Default Decor Furnishing Advice Needed!

Hello everyone,

We are coming for our second LSV next month and we are very excited. We are also just starting the process of downsizing (nightmare!) and determining what we are bringing, etc.

I have been a collector for over thirty five years. I have lovely dark wood mahogany and walnut furniture (very traditional), oriental screen, oriental rugs, etc. I absolutely love them and love the look but....

I'm worried that I will miss my furniture! Is that crazy? So I'm wondering if I can incorporate some of the darker furniture with the florida lifestyle or if I should just sell it all. I know that it will cost to move it and I can't help thinking that a more or less clean start would be great and I do love some of the lighter colored decor. Mostly I'm talking about living and dining room areas.

I would love to hear 1) has anyone else felt this way and if so, any advice? and 2) where can I find photos or ideas to inspire me to decorate my retirement home. (I'm East Coast).

Thanks everyone!
