In our home we have constant expressions of ourselves and those who we live with. If you live alone, with a mate, or with your husband and your children we are in competition with each other. We all search for spaces in this confined home to be our own person. Fighting for this space can be difficult because sharing is not a natural part of who we are.
* First there has to be a realization the mother and father have been there first. They have the priority. What they surround themselves with is expressing who they are. There furniture is chosen to meet their needs.
* Bringing two people together from two different families can be a challenge in itself. Sometimes the things that come have deep meaning to the one while the other has similar responses to their treasures. Making it all fit in is challenging.
* Furniture is a powerful emotional response to who we are. We grew up in a home that your family did things a certain way. Regardless of what it looked like, this is a part of who you are. Someone trying to change you can be detrimental.
