🌷✨ Moving Day! Tips from an expert—

It’s tough to admit, or maybe just hard to identify, until—you’re moving. When faced with the reality of touching every possession—carefully placing them into a box, moving the box in and out of doorways and trucks and more doors, and then carefully taking those possessions out of their nice box—I think we can agree there is no box big enough in which to hide the truth.

And the truth is, we have too much stuff.

To help us tidy our relationship with the company we keep (we’re talking to you, Stuff) we’ve reached out for some expert advice from Jessie Culbert Boucher , a licensed real estate agent in Washington State. She’s got an intuition about manifesting a low-stress move that we just can’t replicate.

In our final episode of Moving out / Moving in, it's time to get cozy. Here are Jessie's thoughts on settling into your new place after spending all your bucks on a new set of walls.

Part 3. Moving In—Welcome home.

Ahhh, you’re all moved in and eating out of pizza boxes in your new place (or maybe that’s just me.) Whether your new home is bigger or smaller than your last one, you’ll need different stuff to configure your new space.

Adding a rolling cart to a small kitchen will give you more counter space. Find a new-to-you vintage dining set for your larger dining room or just some place settings. And find some plants that will thrive in your new spot. I love recommending Freeya to my clients who have just purchased a home. You’ve just spent all of your dollars! Now is the time to access the excess within the community–and Freeya is just such an obvious choice.

Freeya’s also got what you need to spruce up your new yard — from garden mulch to tools and mowers, and even bbqs, you’ll be ready to host your first gathering.

Thank you Jessie for sharing your process with Freeya users. If you’re buying or selling a home, Jessie is absolutely the best at what she does. You can reach Jessie at jessie.boucher@compass.com .

Congratulations, Julia K
