My sister is in her NYC apartment for three years, and finally she agreed to a change when she came to renew her lease. After a hurry of neighboring research and quick tourism, she found a place which was perfect.
However, we were really uncertain whether we were going to be able to fit all its furniture in the new place – it is smaller than its previous apartments, with low storage. But somehow, after hours of proceeding, it all fit.
Here we did to ensure that he does not have to renounce rest for a better (although small) apartments.
Before packing and premature
The first thing that my sister did – even before buying boxes – is a list that she thought she does not want to sell in her new place for sale. This stopped him from focusing Things were not going to move In the first place, and allow the interest to roll it passively because he actively packed everything Was Take.
She decided that if she was not able to sell anything, she really wanted to get rid of, she would be just Keep it on curbAnd anything she was uncertain about that traction was found, she went ahead and sold.
This helped her to create her mind on some pieces, so that she could not decide to get rid of: if she lishes them and hates that people wanted it, she kept it, and if it disappoints her that people did not be interested in a piece, she wanted clearly.

Measure everything
Even before the Move Day arrives, my sister and I did to measure as much as possible. He looked at me from his new apartment, while I walked around the old one, measuring all his pieces: bed, sofa, TV console, kitchen table, you name it.
He decided which pieces were his greatest priorities, and asked for dimensions from me. Then, she passed through her new place and put them out with the painter’s tape on the floor.
In this way, she was able to re -organize the furniture to re -organize the time and time to ensure that it fit everyone before entering the space.
Dickstick as much as possible
The biggest and most important piece of furniture apart from bed was my sister’s couch. She had invested a lot of money in a very good couch years ago and she was nervous that she might have to leave it.
It is a large section made of two connected pieces and one otoman. When he ordered it, the company established and built it in its apartment. He asked him if it was capable of separating two connected pieces, and he did not tell him.
The longest arm of the couch was going to prove to be the most difficult to fit in its new apartment. Enter: With a intimacy for me, equipment and riddles.
I managed to disconnect two pieces, broke the couch into a half length and two quarters. With this, we were able to rearrange all the pieces inside her new place in a way that is functional and fashionable, without sacrificing the couch.
Play once in a new place
Even though we measured everything and care, it is no surprise that some things did not work according to the plan. For example, we had to remove window creations and both pan to fit the couch after not fit through the door.
When we got all the furniture (and boxes!), It was much more disorganized and difficult than blue tape. Duh
we went through Some repetitions of the living room Officially before landing on what will be the new setup. Till it is not time to change again, of course.
take your time
Walking in New York City is really difficultAnd incredibly stressful. In this process, my sister was the most important thing to take her time.
Listing things for sale a month ago she actually went out, taking time to measure and Block furnitureAnd even to take time out how the sofa would enter his place, all stopped him from losing his head or being overwhelmed by this process.
It was patience that allowed her to avoid deciding grains such as “I just get rid of it”, which she came close to declare a few times on the move-in day. She could take all the time, she was thinking and possible through things.
