On buying new furniture

Next week this time, I'm going to be getting set to go furniture shopping for our new home. I'm looking forward to it although it is a bit overwhelming to have to buy everything from scratch all over again. But it will definitely also be a fun experience, I'm sure. I already have a general idea of the kind of stuff I want to buy, so that will be a good point to start from. One thing I'm sure off, is that I do not want anything too heavy or solid looking, I want more of a contemporary and even modern look this time.
