When you move you have several chances to get rid of things you do not need. It brings great awareness to how many items you have when you are wrapping and packing things up. I couldn’t believe how many kitchen items I had. You can sell, donate, or recycle things that you are not using or items you don’t want to use moving forward. After the garage sales, selling, and donating then comes the moving and unpacking. There will be items that do not physically fit in your new space so those are items to sell, donate, or give away. Then, there may be a few items you need to buy for your new place. It is a chance to cultivate a minimal comfortable space. I like to ensure the essential items are appealing so they contribute to the overall design of the space.
