In the past when Desmond and Claire moved to Green Seed Town, they brought a few things with them, most of the furniture in the house was already there when they both arrived and only some maintenance was required to keep the house in tip-top shape.
In addition to a couple of beds, other small furniture, and home appliances that we're unable to stand the test of time without any care while the house was abandoned; there were a few things that Desmond and Claire added to the place.
It wasn't until this particular moment that Desmond felt that such an approach was a bit remiss on his part, in the first instance because of this the place didn't really feel like home due to the lack of personal touch, but the reason Desmond was even thinking about it was because of his current situation.
