To add to this...when someone invests TOO much in her home by that I mean new things replacing the older just because of current fashion .Then although the house looks splendid there is a lack.A lack of connection to how the person has lived.
I call to mind a friend I visited recently..she is replacing a very nice bathroom because one tile is wonky on the floor.I suppose it keeps workmen and companies in work.For me...I like what I have.I replace broken and worn items but never have revamped just because new things are in the shops...
