Does the character of a home come from its contents or from the home itself -- the style and design?  Both, no doubt.  But too many modern homes are little more than a plywood box into which one inserts oneself and belongings.  The metaphor to examine is your body.  Does clothing alone make the body, or is the flesh and bones a critical part of the character?  So, too, should a home be given, or allowed to have this character.
