Buy quality products and keep 'em
One habit that we seem to have organically begun (and held onto) is if we need something, and can afford to, we buy quality products and hang onto them. Whether it's tools, furniture, cars, rugs and even clothes when we can. My 20 year old Reyn Spooners that continue to be holding up are a great example.
I recently sold my 12 year old Range Rover, after purchasing a Dodge truck. Linda's 12 year old Volvo looks like new - well, if you don't look too close.
Here's a pic of my 25 year old Bradington Young leather chair - yes, uglier than heck. - Sassafras enjoys it as much as I do. The Baker sofa right beside is also 25 years old. I shared pics recently showing our recover project and addition of solid walnut trim and legs.
This chair was certainly made here in the U.S. back then - as most furniture was. Don't know for sure, but the odds are against it now.
Oh, I suppose this tenet holds true with the pup who snuck in to my comfy chair as well.
We have enjoyed buying quality products, keeping and enjoying them as long as we can.
