7. If you must, you can re-purpose it. Older Wardrobes can be
converted to Entertainment Centers and newer Entertainment Centers 1
can be converted to Liquor Cabinets or other storage. And (gasp), all
brown furniture can be re-painted if you prefer.
8. Formal Dining Rooms may presently be a thing of the past, but

9. Most Brown Furniture is undervalued today and the best-of-the-
