As much as I wanted to buy furniture in the months leading up to closing, Mitch and I were encouraged by friends and family to wait. To actually live in our new home, learn how we use it, spend some time defining our style, and discover what we need. It was such great advice, and I’m thrilled that we took it. We now know that we need much more seating than we’d originally thought, for example, and that high-traffic areas will likely need robust rugs. We also know that we’re going to need a smaller kitchen table than planned, and that we’d like to put a large buffet and hutch behind it.
