BONUS TIPS & TRICKS

Unpacking: How Long Does it Really Take?

Let's be real, unpacking can feel like a never-ending saga. But don't stress! It depends on your schedule, whether you have kids running around, and if you've got some extra hands to help.

Some people can whip it into shape in a couple of weeks, while others take months or even a year to feel truly settled. Don't worry about being perfect right away. Just focus on making your space functional and comfortable. You can always tweak things later as you get used to your new digs. And remember, you can always call in the professionals to get the show on the road!

Decorating & Home Styling

Now that the furniture is in place and everything's organized, it's time to add your personal touch! This is where you can really make your home feel like you.

Here's a tip: gather all your favorite home accents in one spot and "shop" them around your space. It's a fun way to see what works best.

Don't forget to add cozy touches like scented candles, vases with fresh flowers or greenery, house plants, and of course, beautiful artwork. Let your personality shine through! If you need some help getting started, I’d be happy to lend a hand. It’s always better together!

Hope this is helpful as you start planning the moving process. Best of luck y’all!
