Emptying out our up north home, for 3 years. Whatever I needed or replace at lake house went there. Grandkids came emptied out most of kitchen, baths, 1/2 of furniture. Ordered 8’ pod, whatever I had to have packed first. Then filled the rest of pod so nothing shifted, with what I wanted but could have lived without.
Brought down one bedroom set, select comfort mattress, and my custom buffet. Moving from 5 bed to 4 bed so easy to bring small amount of furniture. It’s the 2000sf basement we miss. Good thing I have been looking at furniture and none looks worth buying for us, Personal choice, all of art work came with us
First year I left all my winter coats and sweaters, last trip I brought two winter coats, and pair of my Ugg boots. I have used them twice working Run Disney and still was cold. Kids live in cold climates so coats were a must. We have huge coat closet, and linen, so storage is not a problem.
Up north We left one couch, chair, small table, and bed up north, so during summers we have furniture.
Rest we donated to local church resale. So far there isn’t anything I packed I haven’t used.
