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

For me, going minimalist has improved my life. I moved from a 1888 home just over 12ksf to a courtyard villa. Didn't matter if I wanted dark furniture or not, I couldn't bring everything down with me. I can tell you now, after the trauma of giving away 35 years of collecting, I feel much freer (is that a word?). We all need to go through this downsize at our own pace. I'm thankful to be around and able to do it. Have fun and welcome.
