but it was difficult, ended up selling/donating/giving some items when we got to the new place, wished I had just started over or, at least culled a few more items. This time when we move to TV (and it can't be too soon for me) we plan on "getting rid of most everything" - liked the idea of offering buyer of house an option on items. We've also got some things specifically that we want our daughter to have - plan on leaving some of the things she particularly likes to her anyway. But we'll do that before we move, she'll get to enjoy them longer and we'll be free to decorate our new home in TV as we like. And it's been true for us in our moves that the furniture in the old house doesn't always "fit" the new - I don't want to go tropical crazy in Florida, but the whole Florida feeling is much lighter, casual and our dark heavy furniture, although we love it here, just won't fit. That's just our opinion and it may not work for all. Hope you make the right decision for you. And congrats....we'll be joining soon!!!
