DP and I are very slowly fitting out our first home together. We are careful with what we buy and make sure it’s all high quality. Solid wood antiques or 60s furniture, english made sofas. solid brass lamps, original paintings. The idea is that these items will either last us a lifetime or will hold a good amount of value if we needed to sell them on.
I think to my granny’s house that she built in the 70s and most things were from then and looked good even in 2010. Whereas my mum is asking us if why we don’t just do a big ikea shop.
