We moved to Texas without purchasing a home first. It has been an adventure! Not necessarily one I would advise. The difficulty with this type of move is you don't know what to get rid of so you basically don't get rid of anything! Yikes!! Well, let me clarify, we got rid of the stuff we knew we didn't love anymore, but that was minimal.
Now that we have chosen a home I have been mentally going thru the "stuff" we have and trying to decide if I still love it and/or still need it. I feel that we will get rid of a lot of décor items, but we do need to purchase somethings as well. ie, master bedroom furniture, couch for the great room, kitchen chairs, etc.
The day the truck was loaded, furniture, boxes etc. were brought out to a staging area so they could be placed in the truck. I will confess, it is an eye opening experience to see most of your belonging on your front lawn all at one time! When they are neatly tucked away in closets and storage rooms, etc. it seems like so much less. It was a bit shocking! I kept saying to the friends that were helping load the truck, "why do two people need so much stuff"? Probably shouldn't have said that in ear shot of my husband. ;)
So, where are you in this? Have you cleaned out, decluttered, given away or had a garage sale lately? Are there items you no longer love? Are the "loved" items stored in a fabulous, creative way? What are some of your most difficult storage issues?
I LOVE a storage ottoman!
This breadbox works great to store stamps, stapler, paperclips, etc. Perfectly at home in the kitchen!
Have the faces you love where you can see them!
