I agree with most all who responded. Sell all furniture; it’s expensive to pack and move it anyway. Start new; it’s liberating. Keep photos, favorite summer clothes, a few winter clothes (if you ski), and a favorite jacket or two. Donate almost everything else to charity. You can even buy new dishes, pots/pans, silverware, etc. at Costco when you get here. It’ll be sparkling new and not that expensive. Most homes in TV have attics with some flooring. Have extra flooring installed in attic, pay for pull down stairs to attic and some sturdy plastic shelving in the attic. It’s amazing what we accumulate over the years that we really don’t need. Shed it - you’ll be glad.
