Mike, at the risk of turning a nice bit of frivolity into a serious discussion, you are closer to the mark than you might realise.
The last proper piece of furniture I made for my last house was a chevalier mirror. There were other things I would have like to have made, such as a modern grandfather clock, but there was no space left for anything else.
I'd been building the home for 18 years, it was my contribution to the domestic economy, whilst my BXW went out to work and earned the money. I really was worried what I was going to do when there was no more furniture to make.
In the event the decision was made for me...
But I'm in the same position here. It is all I've wanted for as long as I can remember. It's getting closer, and then what? I've actually got to start using it. OK, I do need some furniture. Like everything. Bed Wardrobe. Table and chairs Sideboard of some kind. I have no storage in this house other than the kitchen cabinets.
But all that is not going to take for ever, and then what? Wanted, raison d'être.
