Downsizing and Preparing to Move

When this client injured her back and became less mobile, she decided to move back east to be closer to family members.  She hired Harmony Matters to help her prepare to sell her house and move.  We did this job in three stages: 1) We prepared the home to be shown to realtors; 2) We prepared the home to be put on the market and shown to potential buyers, and 3) We prepared the space and the things in it for a quick and painless packing and moving process.

The Process
Before After

Lots of furniture and knick-knacks, plus a big beautiful ficus plant, took up lots of space in this living room.

We decluttered the living room and adopted the ficus plant to a new home.  With the lights turned on, this living room is warm and inviting.

The dining room, always an active room, became even busier and more cluttered when our client became less mobile and putting things away became more difficult.

We cleaned out the kitchen cupboards, making space to put away pet food, medications, and other items that had previously been living on the counters.

The family room, the media center, the library, the exercise room, and the home of the dogs’ crates.  A very busy place.

We removed the large photo collage from the mantel and moved the dogs’ crates into another room.  This gave us a new space for the exercise bike and voila, the fireplace is the focal point of the room.

We helped our client sort through all of her books and photographs to make more space on these tall bookshelves.

We found the daffodil painting in a closet; now it brightens the family room.

The dog crates had become a place to put things, and they impeded traffic flow in the room.  The rug under them also created visual clutter.

We moved the exercise bike into the space where the dog crates were, and removed the rug so that the beautiful hardwood floors could be seen and appreciated.

This little guest room provided a cozy space, complete with books and knick-knacks, for visitors.

With the books and knick-knacks removed and the beds made, this room is now a less personal space and will have more appeal to potential buyers.

This room had many beautiful collectibles and photographs on display.

Without so many personal items, the room now has more appeal for potential buyers.

This small storage shed was full of gardening tools, seasonal decor, and kids' toys.

We quickly decluttered and reorganized, grouping similar items together and boxing up loose items in plastic bins.  Now this shed will make a more favorable impression on potential buyers.
