      I have to add that our new abode is only 30 miles away so we have the luxury of a slow move. It’s been so nice bringing in essentials then seeing what else we’d like to have that will work in the space. I am realizing I’ll probably throw lots away especially makeup, toiletries and random junk drawer stuff, food, etc. We are already living in the new house and it is eye-opening what we don’t miss and can live without.

Lowe's usually has some basic colors, but if you need more colors of duct tape and you need them right away, your best bet is a craft store such as Hobby Lobby. They usually have tons of colors and patterns. Or if you've got time, you can also order from Amazon.

    Another awesome video - great information! I really love these. A few thoughts I had while watching: 1 - Downsizing can really hurt - particularly when you are getting rid of stuff you love. If you know you're not going to be able to make something work in your new place, you'll feel the pain of loss twice if you try to take it with you. 2 - If you need one, only get the size of storage unit you need. It will usually be cheaper, and it will help keep you from growing more stuff you already don't have room for. 3 - Love the vertical space idea - creating more horizontal space where there wasn't any really helps reduce the downsizing challenge. Thank you - please keep the videos coming!
