Default Re: Downsizing

Nanci2539, I empathize, and feel your pain! I had to make those decisions also, as I had antiques, and too many things. I only brought some of them, mostly the ones passed down from my grandparents. Some say that most everyone gets rid of all their antiques before moving here, but I couldn't bear to do it, and tried to fit the ones I brought into a lighter, more casual scheme. I think I've done ok, but it wasn't easy. One regret is I got a 2 BR 2 BA designer, but should've gotten a 3 BR. I need more space, so may have to trade up to a 3 BR, but not looking forward to moving again!

Good luck with your decisions!

P.S. I don't really miss most of the things I parted with. I miss my friends and neighborhood in VA, but love it here in happyland!
I especially don't miss the snow and icy windshields!
