Pre-Closing

So what I thought was the closing turned out to be the pre-closing. Basically I just signed a bunch of papers, and handed over all of my money. Over 11k in closing costs, knocking my decorating budget down and jeopardizing my fall vacation plans to Greece. But everything is final now, I'll get the keys on August 30th.
The plan is to pack quickly and get myself out of here by the end of the month. Each time I leave the apartment I've vowed to bring an item to toss on the street. I really don't have much furniture worth keeping.

Declutter

I'm starting to get really excited about the move. It's this amazing opportunity to start from square one, a fresh empty space. I've been thinking a lot about color and a new sofa. I think I'm most excited to declutter, getting rid of all that useless paper and junk that's piled up over the years.
