moving - what to take, what to chuck
we have so much stuff, like most people who move. I'm going through everything and wondering what should come with, and what shouldn't -- i.e. did you keep artwork you may/may not hang in the new house? all suggestions are helpful and might serve to motivate me! Thanks in advance!
Re: moving - what to take, what to chuck
DH and I move often for work, about every 30 months.
In general, keep everything you like, be it clothes, decor, or furniture, even if you're not using it right now. You never know when you may have a use for it in the future. But you have to genuinely like it to keep it.
Ditch anything you don't like. There is NO sense in paying movers or killing your own back for old crap. Purge your closet and all the little things like sock drawers, underwear drawers, earrings without mates, etc.
Also take care of whatever your problem areas are. For us, this means junk mail and paperwork. DH insisted on getting paper statements for everything for the longest time and still loves paper. For our last move, I had 5 trash bags full of shreddings at the end of the paperwork purge. For you, this might be mismatched coffee mugs, Tupperware without lids, or a messy linen closet.
I always like moving into a new house knowing that everything is there because I want it to be, because it contributes something to my life. Everything without a purpose gets chucked before entering my new life.
GL!

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I'm not taking anything that we aren't going to need or use in the next house (or stuff that we haven't even used in the 9 years we have lived in our current house!) I dont see how it is worth it to use up the energy and packing materials knowing we aren't going to need some of this stuff.
This includes everything. Clothing, bedding, artwork, furniture, etc. As I pack each room, whatever I decide isn't moving is either listed on Ebay, CL, or goes in the Trash box or Donate box.
