Move In and Move On (Cut the Complications When Moving)

Bluffton sc realtors

If you’ve recently bought a new home, or are in the process of buying a home, congratulations! You’ve probably got a lot of stuff on your mind. Stuff like “Where am I gonna put all this stuff?” probably. But never fear! Here are some tips and tricks to help you move into a new home with as little clutter and chaos as possible.

A truly relaxed lifestyle is all about simplicity. That being said, it makes sense to keep things simple when you’re moving. Make a list of everything you know you want in your new home, and get specific! That painting of London, that copy of Bruce Almighty on Blu-Ray, that mug with all the cherries on it… But here’s the kicker. If it’s not on the list, you guessed it, get rid of it. There are plenty of donation centers that would distribute your non-essentials to people in need, and you’ll have considerably less stuff to worry about moving and organizing.

Another way you can save yourself additional stress during your move is to get label crazy. Keeping your things organized and easy to discern will help you to unpack faster, and get things in the right place on the first try. Make sure you don’t try to stuff everything from one room into one box though, especially the heavy stuff like dishes and books.

The best tip for moving into your new piece of real estate is a fairly simple one. Unpack immediately. I know I know, you’re tired from all those other moving antics. But I’ll let y’all in on a little secret. When you unpack things the second they’re in the house, you won’t have to do it later. Crazy, right!? Tackling the task of finding a place for everything is going to make your home feel like, well, a home. You’ll be less likely to live among the boxes and push the unpacking off indefinitely.

Real estate can be real stressful, but making your new house a home can help to take the edge off. So get labeling, get listing, and get back to living!

DIY 3 Whimsical Ways To Transform Garden Sheds

Decorate my dining room

Across the pond in the United Kingdom, the humble garden shed has long been a popular feature in not-so-humble country estates. More than 10 million U.K. homeowners have a garden shed, and increasingly garden shed designs have been blossoming in U.S. backyards, too.

Now that the Web is full of sites like Pinterest, Instagram, and a thousand Do-It-Yourself Blogs and How To websites, it’s never been easier to find step-by-step tutorials for building truly fantastic garden shed designs.

If you have a boring old shed on your property, or if you’re looking for custom shed designs to complement your existing landscaping features, then here’s four whimsical ways to hack garden shed designs:

1. Prefab Structures Are Perfect For Hacking

Most Americans don’t have the construction or engineering skill to build garden shed designs from the ground up, and even for those who do have the know how, who knows how they’ll find the time? But thanks to the magic of the internet, you can find quality, handmade, prefab Amish built sheds online and have them delivered right to your backyard. Amish prefab garages and sheds arrive fully formed and ready for some DIY wizardry.

2. Transform A Garden Shed Into A Greenhouse

If you’re renovating your home or replacing fixtures, then you can use old, worn out window panes to turn a common garden shed into a DIY greenhouse for your backyard. Even if you don’t go full greenhouse, adding a few extra windows to the walls or roof can turn dank, spider-filled sheds into beautiful, sun-filled custom sheds.

3. The Fort Of Your Dreams

Pre fab sheds and custom Amish gazebos can easily be hacked into the ultimate playhouse for kids or grand kids. A little paint, some decoration, and some fun games inside can transform that backyard shed into every kid’s dream fort. Let your inner child run wild and build the fort you’ve always wanted.
