It took years before we finally decided to demolish my childhood home and build a new house. We knew early on what rooms we needed and what we wanted for our future home. We even knew where we wanted to have electrical outlets and faucets, haha. BUT, I think we should have thought about more storage.
We were able to properly put everything in place when we moved to our current home. We basically merged our Manila and Singapore home. It was hard, but after we finished organizing, everything had a proper place. The nice, cozy, organized home lasted for only a year.
My Mom passed away and for two years we worked on clearing the childhood home. We donated and cleared out 90% of the items. We just kept some of the kitchen stuff, a gazillion photo albums, and Mom's craft materials. We were only able to transfer some furniture and the rest were stored in a hut on the garden.
Going through everything was overwhelming. We have an inventory of the furniture and I opened the file again last week and I'm trying to figure out what we can still use and what we'll let go. Good thing I didn't go on a spree when we moved back and just got essentials.
Wish me luck!
