I'm fortunate in the fact I already did this. I was able to get rid of a lot of things before I moved in. -- I am going through what remains, once again, while I'm here to further downsize. More importantly, to find things I can sell and get money for haha

This is a great idea in theory, minus the fact all those places are mostly taken by my parents and brothers. Their stuff remains there because they haven't gotten to it to put away on their own yet. Plus, my parents need that space since they're actually living here and I'm just sort of…. here.

There's fortunately a book shelf sort of thing that's built into the wall in the room that I guess is mine. I put some stuff in them just so I could get it out of the way. The problem remains in the fact I'm putting away stuff in there that I'm going to have to take out again and repack in a few weeks. So I've tried putting stuff in them that I will want to keep here, or feel they would want to keep here. Like the Harry Potter series LOL!
