when is it too much?

So, I tend to over think and over plan in most aspects of my life.

Trying to learn to just let it all flow, but there is a bit too much of the Virgo/Libra

 aspect in me...I just like the order, organization & such.

Currently I am in the process of moving from a large one bedroom to a small 2 bedroom.

This means I have roughly the same amount of square footage, but divided into smaller spaces. I am measuring all my furniture trying to see what will fit where & just how to make this work. A friend saw my lists of measurements & laughed. So, how to you plan your new spaces people? Do you just place items and move them until you are happy or do you "plan it out" like me and measure & do a diagram?

I will say that even with doing the planning I often change things around once I am in and living with my items...but I like to have some idea of what is going to work in the space. For one thing I would rather get rid of any furniture that is not going to fit so it doesn't have to be moved twice!

I am excited for the new space to nest into. My main reason for moving is price, it is cheaper than my current home and closer to my job in addition (woot woot)

My new landlord is putting in new flooring in the kitchen and bathroom which is so lovely, plus there is hardwood floors in both bedrooms & the living space. Windows on all 4 sides for fabulous cross breeze which is nice as it is an upstairs apt which can be hot as heck in the summer!

Bonus in getting a Pottery Barn black iron chandelier in my new living space along with a new stove in the kitchen. I am hating the packing and dreading the upstairs to upstairs move,but I am ready for this new chapter!
