Default The 3 D's....Dig, Dump and Don't look back!!!

We had 3 garage sales before moving here and we sold almost everything. We decided to start all over in Florida. I'm glad we did! The furniture we owned in NY would never have gone with the way we decorated our home here. It would have been more overwhelming to get down here and discover that we had to get rid of a lot of stuff. We just kept our TV's, photos, some Christmas decorations, one chair, some cd's and movies. I would downsize as much as possible because unless you have added closets and stretched the garage big time, you will have difficulty storing all of your stuff. Besides, it's so much fun decorating a new home from the ground up! We even bought new pots and pans, silverware and dishes. For us, it was the way to go. Best of luck downsizing and with your move to The Villages!!!
