Double Check the Necessities Whether this is your first time moving into a house, or you’re moving up to accommodate your expanding family, it can often be easy to forget little details in the “chaos”. Taking the time to double check that your utilities, internet, phone line, mail-forwarding, etc. are in place will help reduce future headaches and make it easy to get back to normal in no time![/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="1_2"][et_pb_text _builder_version="3.0.96" background_layout="light"]Curtains, Blinds, and Drapery Frequently overlooked, adding blinds, drapes, curtains to your home will help add a sense of privacy and security to your new home. This is especially vital when you’ve first moved in, as you’ll want to keep prying eyes away from your valuables while you unpack and organize your layout.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2"][et_pb_image _builder_version="3.0.96" src="http://abbey-platinum-master-built-v1734384555.websitepro-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/greenborough22.jpg" show_in_lightbox="off" url_new_window="off" use_overlay="off" always_center_on_mobile="on" force_fullwidth="off" show_bottom_space="on" alt="new construction homes alberta" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="1_2"][et_pb_image _builder_version="3.0.96" src="http://abbey-platinum-master-built-v1734384555.websitepro-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/136A1295.jpg" show_in_lightbox="off" url_new_window="off" use_overlay="off" always_center_on_mobile="on" force_fullwidth="off" show_bottom_space="on" alt="new home construction alberta" /][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2"][et_pb_text _builder_version="3.0.96" background_layout="light"]Landscaping While your home might be in pristine condition, more often than not, your yard may require some TLC as a finishing touch. Working with a landscaper early on will help to avoid premature erosion, as well as dirt and mud getting tracked throughout your new home![/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text _builder_version="3.0.96" background_layout="light"]Decorating It’s time to personalize your space! While you’ve likely done some purchasing in anticipation of moving in, the more time you spend in your new home will make it easier to determine what artwork, lighting, and decor best fit each room. Get to Know Your Community It can be easy for families to get so wrapped up in the details of moving in that you forget to stop and take in one of the best parts of your new home: the community! Take some time to get to know your neighbours, familiarize yourself with local hot spots and amenities, and explore the new area that you’ve claimed as your own!
