#HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR STUFF WHEN MOVING HOW TO#

After the kitchen, we moved onto our bedroom (how I organize the bedroom, followed by the living room third (How I organize the living room).These easy to apply pads can be added to chair legs, decorative accessories, and more to protect surfaces from scratches. These are the little felt pads you put under chairs or other items in your home to avoid scratches on your floor and countertops. We used Softtouch under chairs, once you decide where you want them.Unpack the kitchen first (you will use this room the most) РІР‚вЂњ here is how I organize the kitchen (cabinets & drawers).You donРІР‚в„ўt need to end up in a back brace. Super Sliders easily slip under furniture to make moving heavy pieces a breeze, without causing a single scratch on the floor. Use Super Sliders to move heavy objects, like tables, sofas, dressers, recliners, heavy appliances and more, with ease.Have friends help you to move the boxes (buy them dinner when they are finished- we just picked up a few pizzas and some beer/wine/pop for my family and friends).

Keep your cleaning supplies in a box that you can unpack first.

I also stocked up on non-refrigerated foods that we could eat for lunch quickly (PB&J, fruit, etcРІР‚В¦) It was also much easier to not have to prepare a meal for our family when I knew that I wanted to use my time unpacking. The reason? Until you get your food moved in and your kitchen the way that you want it.

Plan on ordering meals (we had take-outРІР‚В¦ mostly from Subway) for about 3 days straight.

I dislike having boxes around, and I want to have the house РІР‚СљliveableРІР‚Сњ as soon as possible. I stayed up well beyond our normal bedtime to unpack. They created different games with the boxes and this kept them busy for hours on end, which allowed me to unpack even faster. I let our kids play with the boxes and take them to different rooms. I have to say that one of the joys of moving is watching your kids explore the new house and all that it has to offer. It cuts down on the chaos of those first few days if you no that you donРІР‚в„ўt have to dig around for the essentials. Everyone gets an overnight bag with clothes, pajamas, toothbrushes, etcРІР‚В¦ I think of it like packing for a long weekend trip. I set aside the РІР‚Сљmust-havesРІР‚Сњ for that first day there. Pack РІР‚Сљovernight bagsРІР‚Сњ for the first few days If you pack just as you want to unpack, you will have it all ready when you get there- you just open a box and transfer it to its spot.

DonРІР‚в„ўt take your clothes out of the dresser, just take the drawers out and leave the clothes in the drawers- no need to re-stock them at your new house.

I moved the ottomans (filled with everything).

When moving toys, I just moved the whole toy box.

When moving our clothes, I didnРІР‚в„ўt take them off of the hangers and fold them- I just put them into our car, on the hangers, and put them right on the new closet racks.

The cups all were put into one box (I didnРІР‚в„ўt even use much protective wrapping, I just moved it carefully.) I labeled it РІР‚СљKitchen cupsРІР‚Сњ and I had it unpacked in five minutes.

When I packed up the kitchen, I did not separate into categories, I just packed it exactly how I had it at the old house.

I packed up one drawer at a time (in every room in the house).

I packed exactly the way that I would unpack. Packing correctly makes unpacking easy.Р”Р‡irst: remember to pack correctly, in order to make the unpacking easier. This is our third house and thankfully, I was able to unpack without many issues. With house #2, I was on bed rest with our second baby, so everyone had to unpack for me. This was longer than it took me for house #1 because for house #1, we did not have kids. I had our house completely unpacked (& decorated) in six days. When we moved to this house, we had three young boys. Today I give you those tips, thanks to our partner, Super Sliders. We moved and were unpacked, each time, within a week.
