Store staple in your pantry in glass jars.
Sell everything in your home state…don’t move northern furniture south. It is too dark, heavy and generally doesn’t fit the Florida lifestyle. Bring your minimalist self…
Just don’t shop City Furniture

You can store cardboard and paper in the garage, as long as it's contained. You can buy long plastic bins that stack and even some that have wheels to roll under a bed. Just make sure the covers are air-tight.
As for northern furniture, don't listen to people who tell you how to decorate your own home. You're the one who has to live in it, not them. If you like dark furniture and have some really nice pieces, bring'em. My house is mostly antique furniture, mostly wood, mostly dark, with a few lighter oak pieces for contrast. What I need to do, is paint the walls white. Whatever idiot designer in The Villages thinks "beige" is a good wall color needs to be shot.
