Nadine Dorries wrote an article in the Daily Mail talking of her pain and sadness on parting with certain items of furniture that She and her Husband bought when they first married. We don't have any such pieces going back that far except for our dining table and chairs which we bought about five years after we got married but I would gladly part with it to buy something more suitable for a smaller home. For me taking paintings, photograph's, small ornaments, favourite pieces of jewellery etc would be much more important. Nadine says she is now surrounded by furniture that does not fit her new home, big mistake! Ideally do or get someone to do a scale drawing for you so that you know exactly where each piece will fit. This not only helps you but the removal firm who will be very grateful too.
