Moving? Making your new place feel like home is key. We move for many reasons; new job, school, marriage, divorce, down-sizing, loss of a family member. Whether we move for a positive life event or a challenge, the key to making a successful transition is creating a sense of home in your new place. Remember, your frame of mind will make all the difference. Whether a challenge or opportunity put you in this position, think of it as a fresh start. A new beginning. A new chapter in your life, you get to write yourself.
Start with an idea. You may find that you want to create something totally different or bring a part of your old life with you. There are so many resources out there to cultivate ideas. These websites are a fantastic start.
Once you have an idea of what makes you feel most comfortable, you can start to put it together in your new place. Set a budget and realistic time line based on your resources and ability. This will help you optimize your success. Embrace the short time of chaos to achieve your results. Once it is in place, you will be able to enjoy your new sanctuary and share it with the ones you hold dear.
