Those Showroom Pieces

Setting up a new home is always fun. Hunting for just the perfect furniture and accessories that will turn a house into a home is a passion many of us hold dear.

Often we go about the task of creating our living spaces as if we are creating the most important sanctuary.

In many ways we are, but it is often those very pieces that we buy to bring comfort to our lives that can ultimately keep us from truly realizing our true potential.

It is hard to imagine that those showroom pieces of home furniture or the exquisite treasures from many an antiquing jaunt could one day hold us as a prisoner to a life or a place that no longer fits, but that we grasp firmly to because that is just what the world does. Accumulating massive stock piles of stuff is the way of much of the American culture. We stay in a perpetual state of bondage to possessions.
