My mom found this old invoice from when my grandparents moved into our house in the 40s (click on the picture to view it larger). By today's standards, it's a pretty sparse list for furnishing a seven-room house. All they needed were the basics -- this is rule we all should be living by today. PS -- I would have loved to see what their $12 "Boudoir Chair" looked like -- sounds fancy!

These memories are priceless. I love that you have this sense of history living there, and get to see what the decades have changed. And yes, I'd love to stick to basics like that as I prepare to move into my next house!
They sure liked rugs! Wow, I can't get over the prices- do you have pictures of them in the house with these pieces of furniture? It would be interesting to try and match up the furniture to the invoice. Very fun!
