Ideal Bite

This weekend I’m ending my roommate-ship and moving into my own place. I sold all my stuff when I came here 2 years ago from NY so I’m traveling light, but still, even a minimalist like me can amass a lot after 2 years, so I’m hiring movers.

I’m trying to be as green as possible during the move – I scored boxes from my local grocer before they tossed ‘em (after a failed attempt to find reused ones online), I purged some clothes at Goodwill, dropped off fabric and paper scraps at Scrap here in SF, which takes that sort of stuff for artists and teachers, and I recycled a couple paint cans at a nearby hardware store (note: I just went to my local paint store to find out what to do with the paint).

I’m moving just a mile away – so a man with a van will do. But over the next couple weeks, I’ll let you know how it goes as I scour the local Salvation Army for furniture (I’m going high-endish on the couch – no IKEA for me this time around); deal with wallpaper, fabrics, and paints and try to find eco sources; and craft a few things on my own. Stay tuned…
