We have had our living room furniture for 35 years! It is beautiful, still in good shape, Danish modern. But, while it is not "formal" looking like a lot of people's living rooms, it is not right for what is really more of a great room. We need a couch where we can slouch and watch TV. I think my son is going to take it, and it will look great in his house. We have had different furniture for the family rooms in all of our houses, more as a reflection of the stage of life our kids were in, and once because the space was smaller and we just used a couch we had in a guest room, that had a pull out bed. We also have had 3 kitchen tables and 3 dining room sets (Had the first one for 20 years, then bought one that was quite beautiful to fit in the dining room of our last house. Too bad we got it about 3 years before we moved here and it didn't fit!). Our current dining room table and the hutch and corner piece will be stored in the basement, and hopefully, we can use it if we buy a place in the Berkshires.
We love Crate and Barrel, too. Our current family room sectional, which is going in the new sunroom/den, as well as our kitchen set, and dining room table are from there. It really reflects our style. When we were first married, our whole house was Danish modern, but, we have become more eclectic as the years have passed. But, both of us hate "froo-froo." There's a Yiddish word that describes what we dislike even better than froo-froo...
