I understand liking the least amount of furniture, bare or nearly bare rooms, so I can appreciate your view.
Plus I think I told you in the past how those pics of your family home reminded me so much like mine when I was growing up, I jokingly blame mom for my depression, ha!ha!
Though I know it is much more than that, but it never helped.
Well on an upbeat note, congrats on your furniture, enjoy it
