Once you have moved into your new larger home, the fun begins! Often there will be extra room that requires furniture and decorating of some sort: children's bedrooms, an office or meditation space, a spare bedroom for guests, bigger kitchen and bathrooms. Hiring a home stager is a wonderful way to learn how many items are truly needed to decorate and make your home feel comfortable and welcoming. Melanie Ramsey of Hue-Creative (612-418-3498) does beautiful work, as does Elizabeth Aldrich with Aldrich Home Staging (651-246-0774).  See my other Home Stager recommendations under Resources.

As you unpack your new home, your pile of empty moving boxes will continue to grow. There are several easy ways that you can get rid of them. One is posting them on your local Craigslist site. Another is to contact me, your trusted Realtor. I always have clients who are moving and need moving boxes.

Have fun making your new house a home, and enjoy having more space!
