Another home question (rugs)

@mik Wool, hand tufted. Got it.
In terms of smaller rugs, I'll need a few.
I got lucky and washer/ dryer inside, new, included. I'll need one there. And the usual places.
It's open concept except it has a separate dining area. TBH, the sea of white tile is a little overwhelming.

BTW, I'm still buying a vacuum cleaner, only because I could use it and I want one. I could make due with a broom but I want a canister vacuum, the attachments, and the dusting brush.
It's going to be another indulgence because I'll probably by a Sebo, and if not, then the cylindrical one with the optional happy face mask (most of you probably know it but I know @andyd does).

The range has traditional electric burners. I'm sell it and getting a glass top.
The refrigerator is new. The dishwasher is new.
I'm indulging in two pieces of furniture.
A Shaker hand made (what else would it be) 60"x 30" desk. Just four simple legs like a farmhouse table. Nothing to get in your way. Huge work surface for my study.
A hand made mattress with organic materials, no flame retardants or other chemicals, and no latex of foam layer (wool instead).
2k, both.

Edit, this seems kind of unclear. I meant $1k + 1k

Oh, it's not. I've had talks with my attorney, my trustees, and private discussions with people here, and been given good advice.
I think I'm ready. I'm mostly having fun thinking about what is a need vs. what is a want, and deciding on, well, it's only one thing (my desk) at the moment that is not a need but something that means a lot to me, and something that I will keep for the rest of my life.
I can't talk about specifics because I don't want to jinx anything but I'm actually making very conservative and practical decisions.
I fully expect to face high electric bills, high car insurance, high gas prices, high grocery prices, and continuing inflation.
I decided about a week ago that it's imperative to spend as little of my principal as needed and concentrate on investing.
I felt a whole lot less stress after this decision.

Here's some ideas.

Bernard , Newby is only 45 miles from us so we must go visit.
Seems nicer than Chatsworth in many ways, grand but retaining a homely warmth. Beautiful furnishings.Daniel, you may find what you want at your local auction house, used but in good condition.
