when i moved two years ago, i took the time to get rid of a HUGE amount of stuff.
i gave away furniture, clothes, kitchen equipment, tools, just a ton of stuff..
and if you do it proper, you can write it all off on next years' taxes.
my motto is, if i haven't used it in the last 12 months, it's gone.
a lot went away.
good luck paring stuff down, i say do it with abandon and extreme prejudice!
