 Then my day to own new furniture will come? Nothing that I have I actually bought! 
Am I reading that your son will inherit what your family gave you at first? Talk about recycling! You can see your gifts as a great environmental gesture also, that's wonderful! And mostly, congrats to your son for his new house! It must be so exciting on so many different levels!
Any luck in finding the perfect couches and carpet? |
I understand your quandary, Verencat. you want your choices, your stamp on your personal space. And yet....
What do you do with well made stuff? I bought bedroom furniture when I started out, back in the very early 1980's. I bought quality, well built furniture. It's nearly 30 years old, and still looks showroom new, and functions perfectly. It'll still be good furniture when I die.
My parent's bought a used(!) dining room set for my brother when he bought a house. It's been in everyday use for 30 years, and it's still in good shape, after 69 years (built in 1940).
