If you have/had renters, they might cover it as well. With other boxes, break them down into flats to make the most of your space. Get some cheap (very cheap) masking tape to bundle them together so they don't slide all over and get bent. Then cover the floor (a cheapie $1 shower curtain liner is good) before loading the space. In the event of a leak/puddle, your boxes won't be ruined.<br /><br />Don't toss the lamps - just replace the shades. And don't be afraid to play with plain generic (or secondhand) shades to have something unique and fun. For under $5 you can add embellishments and have something very YOU and yet not so precious or expensive that if you get tired of it you can't change it.<br /><br />Get new, fun shower curtain rings. Not expensive, easy to play with. Again, hit the dollar store! For the TV stand, find the Salvation Army/secondhand stores and you might stumble onto a real find. Your new colleagues may have stuff they'd be happy to gift you.<br /><br />Ummm... I've moved a lot.
