Gineen.... Use your iPad and autocorrect... It could pass for Mandarin.
Btw AD, my house is filled with lovely traditional furniture common to the east coast. I love it too. But I am now at an age where I want to downsize and morph into someone different. So I'm willing to let go of "stuff" that keeps me in the past. I made a promise to myself to change anything in my life (not just stuff) that isn't working for me anymore, holding me back or I'm not in love with it/him/her/them. It's been kind of liberating.
I think this is because I just sold every blasted thing in the house of someone I truly loved. Seeing a price tag on his stuff made me realize that anything and everything has a price. Because you can't take it with you, and it better be something you love otherwise it's just superfluous.
Go apply! You will probably qualify, and it might be enough to put gas in your car and a few extra bags of food at Giant.
