TAKE AHOME INVENTORYTaking stock of your possessions is an important part of any move. Doing it with a home inventory can help bring orderto the flurry of purging and packing activities that can otherwise overwhelm the process. Print this list out to help youcatalogue items as you pack up each room. And keep it in a safe place (with receipts, if you have them) once you arrive atyour destination; a home inventory can prove invaluable in the event that you ever have to make an insurance claim. If youprefer to create a digital inventory, try a smartphone app like Digital Locker, which lets you create a digital inventory andeither save it on your smartphone or back it up to the cloud.living roomOriginal PriceYear of PurchaseModel or Serial #Original PriceYear of PurchaseModel or Serial #Carpeting / rugsSofasCoffee table / side tablesTable & chairsMedia centerShelvesCurtains / blindsLamps / light fixturesTIP: Take photosand video of everyroom, focusingon any significantitems.Art / clocks / wall décorFireplace fixturesMiscellaneous itemsbathroom(s)Cabinets / chestsMirrorsRoom décorBath towelsTIP: Considerusing towels orother linens to wraphousehold items.Clothes hamperMedicine cabinet contentsHair dryers / curlersElectric shaversallstate.com/blog 9
