I have clients that have taped up boxes in their homes. I ask them to tell me about the box and they say, “that box is from three moves ago”. When moving into your first house get off on the right foot and unpack fully. Don’t think you will only be there a few years and it is a starter home.
You don’t know what life will bring and how long you will be in the house. Move in and accept that you live there and hang pictures etc.

Put the DATE that you packed it on the box. This will help with the “3 moves later” issue. You’ll always know how old that “stuff is”… Oh, when you OPEN that box, cross off the date too!
