MEMORANDUM DECISION

LOUISE DeCARL MALUGEN, Bankruptcy Judge.

Steven and Samantha Lucas (“Debtors”) seek to avoid liens of ITT Financial Services, formerly known as Aetna Finance Company (“Aetna”). 11 U.S.C. § 522(f)(2)(A) permits a debtor to avoid non-possessory, non-purchase money security interests in, among other things, the debtor’s “household furnishings” and “household goods.” Aetna opposes the Debtors’ lien avoidance action on the ground that, under state law, the subject items of collateral do not qualify as “household furnishings” or “household goods.”
