I had advertised my dining room set on Craig's List back when I had my garage sale. I reposted it in January just to see if I'd get any takers. If I ever move to a smaller place I will probably not have room for formal dining room furniture (table, 8 chairs and a china cabinet). Neither son wants it or wants to pay to store it. It's a little fussy for a single guy......more suited for a family.
I got an email from a lady last night asking if I still had it. I got into a conversation with her via email and she used to live in this county and we know some of the same people! Small world! She came over to look at it today and loved it. Called her SIL who had a van and he came with two other men and loaded it all up. My dining room is empty now and it echos if I talk in there. I'm glad to have sold it. I have added to my "fund" and don't have to worry about what I'll do with it when the time comes to move. I have a table and chairs in my breakfast area so I have what I need. Why am I sad????

its hard to let go of things that served us well. even if its a good thing. Use the room for a ME ME ME room. make it a work out room, or a computer room. A sewing room? or just roll around on the floors! Take a deep breath, and walk forward. im proud of you!

I think the dining room set has memories. I can understand how you feel Kitty. I can't part with some things, even tho I need to
because of the memories they evoke! You are really LUCKY to find someone who can cart that nice set away. That is the major problem with selling a large item! The feeling will pass... a little grief, etc. Think of the nice home your set will have! Maybe that will help?

go buy a model train and build yourself a little town in the space.
Learn how to do curling! get a massage table, and hire a masseuse.

Truth be told.......my cats have been skidding around on the hardwood floor chasing their toys this afternoon!! It's like a little kitty-cat skating rink now!

Wad up a little ball of aluminum foil for them and roll it out there. Ours can never get enough of rolling them around on the hardwood...
