We're moving house soon after spending 10+ years in our first home, and it's got me wondering what everyone else does when it comes to all the little things you've hidden over the years....
We've decorated and changed colours in most rooms, but because there was heavy furniture in the way, we've often just painted around it rather than moving it. For example, the wall behind my daughter's bed is still pink, even though the rest of her room is now sage green.
Now I'm thinking ahead to moving day and what it's all going to look like once the furniture is gone. I don't have any of the green paint left, so I'm worried it's going to look a bit of a mess. One wall is literally going to be green and pink!
Another example is in our bedroom, the carpet is ripped underneath the bed after I tried to move it once and caught it on the metal support bar. The bathroom window doesn't lock, and I've lost the key for the back room window, so it can't be opened at all.
I'm probably overthinking it, but is this the sort of thing most people just leave when they move, or do people tend to fix and touch up everything before handing the house over?
I suppose deep down I don't really want to paint a wall or replace carpet when I will be busy anyway moving.
