Moving Tips from the Team at ‘Moving With Sebastian’

Organization is Key

  1. Draw a Floor Plan: Create a floor plan of your new home and color code each room. For example, the kitchen is blue, the dining room is green, etc. As you pack and label each box, color code them with colored stickers or highlighters and number each box.
  2.  
  3. Pace Yourself: Pack a box or two a day to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Start with off-season items and as you get closer to the move date, pack most of your kitchen items, leaving out just a few essentials.
  4.  
  5. Get Help Packing – The friendly and organized professionals here at Moving with Sebastian are happy to help you pack your furniture and other belongings pre-move.
  6.  
  7. Floor Plans on Doors: For each room in your new home, hang a floor plan on the door. Color code it to match your stickers and draw a rough sketch of the furniture placement. This way, as items come off the truck, they can go directly to their designated spots, making unpacking easier.
  8.  
  9. Unpack Important Rooms First: Prioritize unpacking your most important rooms first, usually the kitchen and then the bedroom. Since all boxes are color-coded, you can easily move misplaced boxes to the correct rooms.

Pack a “Day Of” Box

    1. Essentials: Pack a “Day Of” box and keep it separate from all your other boxes. Include paper plates, napkins, plastic silverware, cups, snacks, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, and a change of clothes for each family member.

 

    1. Furbabies: Don’t forget your pets. Pack food and dishes for them. Since they will be unfamiliar with the new house and all the commotion, remember their crate or baby gate to keep them safe.

 

    1. Important Items: Include medicine, electronic device chargers, a first aid kit, important paperwork (such as closing documents for the house and insurance policies), and any special collections (coins, stamps, etc.). Think of it as your survival kit until you have more of your new home unpacked.

 

  1. Meal Plans: Get some recommendations for dinner delivery. Marios and D’Best Sandwich Shop and LaSpadas subs all deliver. Nothing goes with unpacking like food you don’t have to cook!
