Buying a home can be a lot of fun, but it can also be overwhelming. You don’t want to overdo it with planning, buying, and rearranging everything before you even get comfortable. At the same time, you don’t want to just ignore major aspects involved with moving into a new place.
It’s a tough balance, but as long as you know how to prioritize, you should be on the right track to the most stress free, convenient, and enjoyable new life imaginable. Here are a few things you should focus on during the first few weeks of your move to your new home.
Sleeping Arrangements
Probably the most important part about moving into a new home is setting up the bedrooms and other areas where you or other members of your family are going to sleep. If you’ve ever seen kids fight over beds, then you know just how high stakes this decision can be. But we’re not just talking about choosing who gets which bedroom.
Remarkably, many families don’t focus on sleeping arrangements during the first week or so of the move and end up having to uncomfortably sleep on a couch or floor because beds might still be at the old place or in storage. Even if it’s just an air mattress thrown on the floor, that’s better than nothing. Figure out where you’re going to sleep in the new place before any other aspect of moving.
Amish Furniture
Of course, having Amish furniture in your home during the first few weeks is not as important as a sound sleep, but it’s important nonetheless. Weeks after the move you and your family will still be working extremely hard to make sure everything is perfect and put away properly. There will be plenty of manual labor that will tire you out and the first thing you’re going to want to do is sit down. Similarly, even though there are boxes everywhere and empty space, to really get a home feel to it, you should have your kitchen table and Amish furniture chairs set up so you and your family can sit together and eat in your new home.
Storage
It seems crazy to think about preparing for future items, but eventually you will run out of space to store all your stuff. Having custom Amish sheds delivered to your property will allow you to store any boxes that you don’t need yet, any lawn or winter equipment, and anything you and your family purchase during your time on this property. Wooden sheds typically last 15 to 25 years, and you should plan to buy a few items that will need storage each year.
Moving day is undoubtedly stressful, but so will the weeks that follow if you don’t plan ahead and set up a few important things first.
