  My parents rented a storage unit when my grandma passed because no one had room for her nice furniture. And it is nice furniture very well built - but no one is ever going to have the space. Let it goo.

    I like those big cabinets in place of kitchen cabinets. Glass front makes everything look better, I don’t put curios in them. Plates, glasses, bottles, booze, whatever goes in them ends up looking good.

  If it was something nice, they weren’t wrong. Everything manufactured today is fucking garbage.

    You can get good furniture, it’s just really expensive.

      So again, hanging on to a proven good item is the correct move.

        Agreed. Can still be cut down or modified, and then painted to update it.

        The style is wrong though. We have a minimalist modern space, so a big orange cabinet honestly just doesn’t fit. We are allowed to decorate the way we like without being held hostage by our parents and grandparents aesthetic preferences.

    If it was nice, they would be keeping it for themselves

    You need to look at the positive: this way they make more profit for the megacorporations manufacturing and selling them.

  It’s probably an easier decision to make when you were born early enough to own a big house
