    Would depend on your room of course, and you can get modern marine captain chairs, but these oldies appeal to me

      I need it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

      I'm getting a new refrigerator, range, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. Getting these new is dumb luck. Getting a new washer and dryer is unheard of. The money for the washer and dryer can transfer to the desk.

      Captain's chair? Not sure what one looks like. Off to look.

      Steelcase $$$

      I would try Amazon on second thought.

      I didn't like them until I reached $1,700
      and then I started to not like them again.

      When purchased new.

      I buy used; it saves tons of money.

        Herman Miller or Steelcase. Used.

        The collapse of the office market has resulted in a glut of used office furniture. You should be able to pick one up at a used office furniture place for your under $200, and it will be the last chair you’ll ever need.

        Is there a WB Mason store near you?

            Thanks, all. Considering your advice for sure. Trustee approved the home deal as of this morning. Car starts its trip on flatbed to me as soon as I can prove insurance. That will almost certainly be tomorrow. One more day...

              I'm speaking up late to second the opinions about wool rugs. Quirt had quite a few nice wool Turkish-style rugs. (Not hand-tufted, I don't think.) When we bought a house together, we had three elderly incontinent animals. We had wood and tile floors and we needed them completely bare for the frequent cleanups. The rugs went in the garage. They stayed there for about seven years with no climate control, until we moved here.

              Now we have young animals, and the rugs are the perfect colors and style for this house. I was nervous to see what condition they were in, but they were perfect. No stains. No fading. The pads were in bad shape, and that may be what protected the rugs from the elements, but the rugs were awesome.

                Daniel, it sounds like you’re really moving forward toward a peaceful, blissfully uncomplicated life. That’s great.

                  Mik, Thank you.

                  I have about a million and a half things to get done but they will be.

                    I propose that you take your time. Once you buy it it’s not fun any more.

                      Yep. Live there a while before you buy investment pieces. Bear in mind that the rug may - should even - become the color palate for the room or the house depending on how open it is.

                      FB Marketplace is a great place to find used furniture.

                        There's nothing like scoring a deal on something you really want and that you only pay 20% or less of retail for...it's like a treasure hunt!

                        wtg, on the other side of the acquisition curve. As someone once said to me..."You spend the first forty years of your life acquiring stuff, and the next 40 years getting rid of it."

                        I didn't get it when they said it, but I definitely do now.
