We've decided to make January 2014 our target date for moving to Columbus. That gives us 4 months to clear out the clutter, stage this house, move our things to the condo and get this house up for sale in time for the acclaimed 'Spring Market'. We've decided to willingly violate the 2-pet minimum after being told by a condo board member that we 'wouldn't be the first' to do so. And with a 17.5 year old cat and a 14.5 year old dog on that list, I don't think we'll be in violation for long, if at all.
We accomplished one goal this week by purchasing a new master bedroom suite. My intent was to maximize the amount of storage in the new set, while minimizing the footprint, since the new master bedroom is a little smaller than our current one. I think we did pretty good by selecting a bed that has 4 large underbed storage drawers (two on each side) and is flanked on each side by a panel nightstand and an 82" tall x 24" wide x 17" deep storage cabinet. We opted for this 'wall' of furniture look vs. buying separate dressers. This will give us maximum storage with minimum floor space being consumed. Since the tall cabinets have 5 shelves and only one (bottom) drawer, I am also going to purchase nice baskets from World Market to organize the shelves.

from Value City Furniture, will stay here while the house is being shown, and then will either be sold with the house to the new owners, or be part of the auction that we'll have before closing.
The rest of this week and next will be devoted to the basement project - decluttering, boxing the things to take with us and generally reorganizing the storage and living spaces down there.
Your turn:
Any ideas for maximizing space in your home? Do you have a favorite piece of furniture?
