Moving During The Holidays

Moving can be stressful, and this time of year can be stressful; put them together, and you've got a lot on your plate. But that doesn't mean you should be overwhelmed or cancel plans! With the right plan and positive attitude, you can ring in 2015 all moved in to your new home.

To avoid emotional distress, be sure to pack the belongings that mean the most to you first; pack the lights and holiday decorations in the last box. If you have children in your family, assure them that moving into a new house doesn't mean the holidays are canceled.

If a big holiday meal is important to your family, you can uphold traditions by having the big feast at another relative's house. Bringing a tin of festive cookies or a bottle of sparkling wine is a warm gesture that doesn't entail stressing over preparing an elaborate meal. Of course, you always have the option to postpone moving in the middle of the festivities. Pack up and leave the house in containers or a storage facility while you relax and enjoy your holidays.

Happy moving, and happy holidays from all of us here at the Bulwark Moving Company!

Inspiring Closet Spaces

Closet space is everything! Closets are often a priority in choosing a new home. These solid features are highlighted in new homes. We found these great closet inspirations from HGTV and had to share.

"The closet is definitely something to write home about," says interior designer Lindsay Pumpa. "It's got two big floor-length windows, an island in the middle, shoe racks, tie storage, a built-in ironing board and a lot of open shelving."

Homes That Maximize Minimalism

Can you imagine living in a home with under 600 square feet? These homes push the limits on minimalism with their extremely  low square footage. In a time when many families are looking for more space for lower prices, these homes are targeting models that deliver the opposite. Check out these mind blowing homes and their "close quarters".

Bigger isn’t always better. Increasingly, homeowners are choosing to live in close quarters where the traditional 3-bedroom house is traded in for something much, much smaller. Tiny homes are typically 100 to 400 square feet, but anything under 600 square feet is considered small. Some are modern works of art; others are rustic cabins in the woods. Here’s a look at a few for-sale listings that fit the bill.

The Hobbit House

Check out this unique little home that transports you back to the shire with Bilbo and company. The adorable blue door and all brick facing is a true work of art. The property is located in Santa Barbara, California and selling for $1.199 million. Don't let the minimal square footage fool you. This unit comes complete with a laundry room. Talk about an easy move!

Open the bright blue door to this tiny home in Montecito, and you half-expect to find a Keebler elf inside baking cookies. Instead, you’d likely find Richard Barrett, an eccentric former gas-company worker who built the home with a borrowed brick-making machine in the 1950s. The little adobe is one of three remaining homes from the Bohemian Mountain Drive Artist Colony, and this is the first time it’s been on the market. There’s a good chance the buyer might tear it down; it’s surrounded by $6 million mansions. But the one-of-a-kind hobbit-sized house — at 510 square feet — is a landmark from another era, tucked between mature trees on a 1-acre lot.
