signed our lease last night!

We will officially be living in the UES in October! We are super nervous. We have to sell and downsize like mad. We already got a great deal on a storage unit for the rest of our stuff.

Neither of us is 100% sure we are "city" people... and it is a little more a month to live in the city, but we made a budget and can certainly swing it. 

DH's parents are really unhappy and think we are being irresponsible. DH tried to say that we aren't them, and this is something we want to try before we become home owners and start a family. 

Overall it will be super weird going from a 3 bedroom house, to a 1 bedroom apartment! Good thing we like each other (well, right now we do;)).

 

I will gladly accept any tips on moving, or creative storage in NYC:) Can't wait to get to know you all a little better!

  • Congrats!  Even downsizing from a 2BR to a 1BR apartment was a challenge for us.  To be sure we purged a ton of things, bought furniture that made good use of space, use underbed storage, and make sure to keep it simple.
  • Thanks for the replies:) It's nice to have positive feedback, I feel like our family is looking at us like we have two heads! I'm really excited for the location though.

    Great idea for underbed storage! I have old containers I used when I was in a dorm, I'll have to grab them from my parents house:)

    Where did you guys have luck buying apartment furniture?

  • I always check out IKEA first.  They make so many great options for small-space living and storage.
  • Congrats and welcome to NYC!

    DH and I have learned to stop listening to our parents and do what we want. You only live once, so enjoy!!
