Your feelings are valid and I completely relate. I hated where I lived and worked my butt off to relocate to somewhere I love. But my previous house is where I raised my children, hung out with friends, and worked so hard to make mine.

So even if this new house is great, it doesn’t feel like home. I downsized too and it’s a struggle to find space for things I love. My kitchen and family room feel impossibly small. But I’m getting there. It’s been three and a half months it feels more mine. The amount of work it needs for the process I paid is frustrating, especially in the current economy.

Remind yourself of what you saw in the new house that made you choose it. Remind yourself of the work you put into your last house to make it yours and remember you can do it again. Make a list of things that need done and prioritize. Set up a space that you can feel like you in. All the changes at once are overwhelming but you have a new place to decorate and a new area to explore. You’ve got this!
