You forever home should support you physically (efficiency & quality) & emotionally (unique character that puts you at ease!).
So decorating it well is a commitment to your family’s quality of life!
Like any other long-term investment (car, college, buying your home), you need to do your research about how much furnishing it will cost. That way, you can responsibly examine your desires vs. needs and prioritize your hard-earned budget accordingly, knowing that the end result will be a home fulfills your hopes and dreams…
…without angsting over how you’re going to pay for it!
