You have spent the last five years placing a table runner at the top of the dining room table any time that you knew you had company coming to the house. And while it may have seemed like a nice decorator touch, the fact of the matter is that you were really just covering up the scratches that one of your tutoring students made. You did not realize it at the time, but in one tutoring session this student did more damage to the table than any that had occurred in the 19 previous years.
Now that both of your girls have moved out, finished college, and have houses of their own, your husband has suggested that it might actually be time to replace the appliances in the kitchen, as well as the dining room furniture. It will be a pretty substantial investment, but after putting these kinds of purchases off while your daughters were in college it really time to make sure that you upgrade some of the most used spaces in your home. And while there may be many families who do not really use their dining room furniture, you and your husband enjoy hosting both family and friends for dinner parties.
Home Furniture Purchases Can Add to the Beauty and Comfort of Your Home
Whether you are looking for dining room furniture, bedroom furniture, or outdoor furniture, it is often in your best interest to invest in quality pieces that will hold their value. And while not all furniture needs to be expensive, it is important to make sure that you are able to use what you buy for many years to come. When it comes to furniture, the cheapest pieces do not always last very long. Quality furniture, on the other hand, can last for a lifetime.
As much as the furnishings in your home reflect your taste, it is interesting to know that a survey by HomeGoods indicated that 9% of Americans have not updated their home decor in more than 10 years. Even more interesting enough, 47% have not done any redecorating in the last five years. Maybe this is why the same HomeGoods survey indicated that 14% of respondents indicated that their home furnishings actually make them feel gloomy and stressed.
Is it time for you to update the furniture in your home so that you do not need to continue covering up that embarrassing scratch on the dining room table?
