No, it’s not crazy. I too had an attachment to my dark wood/country furniture. Our furniture was like brand new and I knew if we tried to sell it in PA, we would not get much out of it. I just couldn’t see coming down here and buying all new furniture when we already had beautiful furniture. So, we rented a UHaul truck and brought it with us. Try decorating a Florida house with Country furniture! It wasn’t easy, especially with dark wood flooring, but I tastefully pulled it off. Our cherry Pennsylvania House dining room suite consisted of a table w/8 chairs, 2 china cabinets, server and side table. We brought the table, 8 chairs, server and side table. The china cupboards are still in PA, I didn’t want them here and we have no room for them anyway. Our living room couch and side chairs from up north were never used as they were in the “parlor”, as my Mother called it. They are country but they look great here. Using accessories you can “pop” a bright color with the dark wood and have it look very nice.
If we are in town while you are here in TV I would gladly show you what we have done here at our home. Send me a private message if you are interested.
Good luck with your decision making. Enjoy your Lifestyles visit!
