Moving is stressful enough, but its even more stressful when you are trying to move in with some one else. Combining two households into one is a challenging task. Where to start? Let Security Mini Storage show you how. It’s not as bad as you think.

Moving 2 into 1

Communication

You have to talk with your partner openly and honestly about your expectations from the new living arrangement. Can’t live without certain things? Well let them know now and eliminate the risk of it becoming an issue later. Make a list of all you plan to bring with you and have a discussion about those items.

Reduce

Take a look at yourself and your items and throw away anything that isn’t needed anymore. Don’t become a hoarder, you have more things then you need, we guarantee it. Self Storage becomes a big part here, we have the space you need for those things you can’t bear to throw away but can’t take.

No Doubles

You do not need two freezers, two fridges, two of anything that can be shared. Discuss who is to throw away what and which item to keep. Just remember that if its your stuff that you kept, its now BOTH of yours, as they had to throw out or sell theirs. This helps to reduce clutter. For larger items, store them away into Self Storage or sell them on sites like Ebay or Craigslist.

Start New

This is a chance to start over and its exciting! Try to purchase some new things together to celebrate the new household you now share. This is stressful enough, so make it fun and memorable as much as you can.
