IN THIS EPISODE

This episode is all about moving out of your parents’ house and into to your first place. Whether you’re renting or buying, it’s all yours to do as you please.

You get to decide how to decorate, when you’ll do the dishes and if you’ll eat on the couch or at the dining room table. But, with great power comes great responsibility, so you might have to move your own stuff as well. No need to stress, we’ve got everything you need, from a moving out checklist to additional tips to ensure a smooth transition.

Our guests Rob Shetler, Vice President at Shetler Moving & Storage, and Jami Supsic, Home and Style Director at HGTV Magazine, cover how to make the most of your space, if the couch will fit through the door, how long it takes to pack (hint: longer than you think) and much, much more.
