I totally see what you mean here. My Mom helped me out quite a bit with decorating and items for my first apartment. So much, then when I got to my second apartment in my 30s ( where i still am!) that I felt guilty wanting new things. I was so worried I would hurt my mother's feelings that I wanted different wall art and throw pillows that were more aesthetically pleasing. Finally, I realized that she helped me get a START in life and was HAPPY for me to get new things. Now my place truly feels like home :-)
