YOU DON’T HAVE TO MOVE IN ORDER TO DOWNSIZE
by Audrey Cupo, Professional Organizer
Many of my clients contact me because they are in the process of relocating and need to downsize their contents. If you are planning to move in the next six months, do yourself a favor and don’t wait until the last minute to get the ball rolling. Contact me now if you think you will need my assistance. You don’t want to wait until it’s “crunch time”.
However, you don’t need to be in the process of moving in order to downsize. Especially if you have been in your home for many years, I guarantee you need a refresh and should be going through the contents of your home in order to downsize the amount that has accumulated over the years.
I personally make it an annual event. Starting this month, I am going floor by floor and room by room over the next few months reviewing my wardrobe, paperwork, kitchen cabinets and pantry, linen closet, storage room and garage to eliminate what I no longer need or want. How about you?
Downsizing can be beneficial for every household and for many reasons. Perhaps you’ve had a recent change in your life: empty nester, birth of a child, divorce, death of a significant other or simply aging in place.
Over time, your needs change and your home should reflect those changes. Your home should not become stagnant or frozen in time. Your tastes change and perhaps you are no longer interested in that collection of nick knacks you collected over the years.
Perhaps you don’t need as many linens or as many dishes or sets of dishes because there are less people living in the home and/or you don’t entertain as much as you used to or have house guests staying with you anymore.
Perhaps your wardrobe no longer reflects your style of living because of a career change or retirement.
Perhaps you are expecting a new baby and need to make room for their things.
There are so many reasons to downsize, and as you can see, they don’t always have to be because you are moving.
