How rude! My walls are Kilim Beige by Sherwin-Williams and they are a nice, soft neutral.

There's a problem with storing cardboard boxes in a friend's garage when the boxes just seem to disappear, or maybe the cockroaches ate the boxes. Don't leave your boxes in any other garage but your own!
Best of luck with your move! You will love it here!

As for northern furniture, don't listen to people who tell you how to decorate your own home. You're the one who has to live in it, not them. If you like dark furniture and have some really nice pieces, bring'em. My house is mostly antique furniture, mostly wood, mostly dark, with a few lighter oak pieces for contrast. What I need to do, is paint the walls white. Whatever idiot designer in The Villages thinks "beige" is a good wall color needs to be shot.
