I'd agree with that. We spent a busy few weeks getting basic things setup (sofa, table, tv, book-cases, etc). Over time I started to get annoyed that because we'd bought things used with no real planning we had different colours/styles/designs all mishmashed together. There was nothing wrong with any of the things we bought, but over time it did become annoying to live in such a state. I can imagine that if we'd moved into a furnished house we'd have had similar views and even less control about replacing things to match. Feeling more like a caretaker than living in "our home".
