Make sure that the moving truck that shows up is from the company you hired: The USDOT<br />

number painted on its side should match the number on the estimate you were given. Additionally,<br />

you can check if the moving truck has the company's branding, or vehicle number that was listed in<br />

your confirmation. Scams are not unheard-of.<br />

9 Clever Ways <strong>to</strong> Make a New House Feel Like<br />

Home<br />

No matter how excited you are <strong>to</strong> move in<strong>to</strong> your new place in <strong>Gold</strong> <strong>Coast</strong>, your first few weeks<br />

will probably feel foreign and, well, a little weird. Celebrating a birthday, planting a garden, or<br />

decorating for the holidays will help that "new-house feeling" fade, but waiting for a miles<strong>to</strong>ne<br />

requires a little <strong>to</strong>o much patience. Here's how you can feel settled and happy — even while you're<br />

living among boxes.<br />

1. Start with the closet.<br />

"I believe in living well from the moment you move in," says interior designer Nate Berks. "Most<br />

people start unpacking the common spaces first, but I focus my efforts on my closet because<br />

Monday's are hard enough without having <strong>to</strong> search for your favorite sweater."<br />

2. Prioritize the kids' rooms.<br />

"My son is a collec<strong>to</strong>r of previously owned things and especially loves his large assortment of snow<br />

globes," says Nicole Curtis, host of Rehab Addict on HGTV. "I always hand-carry the box of<br />

globes with us and then ask the movers <strong>to</strong> focus on his room first. He will spend the afternoon<br />

unpacking his collections and even though the rest of house is in shambles, he'll be happy and that's<br />

all that matters."
