That's because the auctioneer came over today and we went over items to sell. They'll come back a in a few days to take stuff away. Goodbye bedroom set that has been in the family since 1940. You served your purpose, and I even kind of like you, but just not enough.
All this empty space begs the question, am I too old to shop at IKEA? Facebook friends say NO, IKEA is okay. Perhaps I will enter the Swedish maze and breathe slowly to get through my mild claustrophobia--when I can't find doors or windows for ages, I get a little nutty.

Fun fact: English folks used to be taxed according to how many closets they had. Hence the commonness of those big wooden wardrobes a la Narnia. (I have a big one in my bedroom.)
Sad fact: Antique wardrobes aren't selling for much these days, should I ever move the hefty one out of my room. Alas.
