Found the Perfect Home –<br />
But Furniture Won’t Fit!<br />
You’ve been looking for a home<br />
and you’ve found one that feels<br />
almost perfect. The location is<br />
convenient and you can picture<br />
your family living here happily.<br />
However, there’s a problem. One<br />
or more pieces of furniture you’ve<br />
had for years just will not fit. Do<br />
you buy the home anyway, or keep<br />
looking?<br />
Move It?<br />
Suppose the piece of furniture<br />
that won’t fit is a tall cheston-chest<br />
that’s always been in<br />
your bedroom. Could you use<br />
it in another room? Might it be<br />
handsome and useful in the living<br />
room or dining room? (Rooms<br />
downstairs often have taller<br />
ceilings than rooms upstairs.)<br />
Could it store games, videos,<br />
tablecloths and place mats, and<br />
silverware in its new location?<br />
Give It Away?<br />
Maybe the problem is that you<br />
have a bed that’s too large for any<br />
of the bedrooms in the “almost<br />
perfect” house. Is it a Sheraton tall<br />
post field bed with canopy or a<br />
massive Victorian piece that’s been<br />
in the family for generations?<br />
Do you love it, or might another<br />
family member with larger rooms<br />
and taller ceilings be very excited<br />
to get it?<br />
Sell It?<br />
Maybe the offending piece of<br />
furniture has monetary value, but<br />
has no sentimental value. Why not<br />
just sell it? There’s no need to buy<br />
a house based on where it’ll fit, is<br />
there?<br />
Evaluate and Decide<br />
Don’t turn down the idea of<br />
purchasing a home you’d really<br />
enjoy simply because some of your<br />
furniture won’t fit.<br />
Ask yourself questions about the<br />
possibilities. When you come up<br />
with answers you like, you’ve made<br />
your decision.<br />
Who knows, another family<br />
member or a stranger shopping for<br />
a special piece of furniture could<br />
be delighted with your decision,<br />
too!<br />
If that thought process takes care<br />
of the chest, but you’re left without<br />
enough storage in the bedroom,<br />
what then? Is there a smaller<br />
chest of drawers that was used in<br />
your old guest room that would<br />
fit in your bedroom? What about<br />
putting an inexpensive chest of<br />
drawers into your walk-in closet?<br />
