Your house looks amazing.
You should use the front room more.
The furniture in the front room has always been called "the new furniture." It was a suite of furniture bought when my aunt was old enough to start dating. That was 1920. The finish and upholstery is all original. From the time the family moved into this old house (1917), the "front room" has only been used on Sundays and for special occasions such as Christmas or when special visitors came to call.
Everything in the front room is in excellent shape, and I would hate to "over-use" any of it. Besides, that's the way the room has always been used, and who am I to change this tradition.
