Thinking of Downsizing?

Free seminar will focus on moving to a smaller place without sacrificing style.

Homeowners considering a move from a large home to a smaller dwelling will have an opportunity to receive expert advice on their transition later this month. Representatives from the real estate, moving and home design industries will host a lifestyle seminar to discuss downsizing issues like interior design, organizing and packing.

"The lifestyle seminar will address all aspects of moving and condo living, including what to keep, what to donate and how to decide,” said Christine Basso of TTR Sotheby's International Realty. “The experts at Town & Country Movers will discuss ways to make the entire moving process run smoothly from starting early to the most effective ways to pack to determining what goes where.”

According to Basso, seminar attendees will also hear from design experts who will offer guidance on personalizing one’s living space. They will also give advice on topics such as measuring existing and new furniture for space placement and incorporating an art collection into a home’s design.

The seminar will be held Sunday, Sept. 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Quarry Springs estate condominiums, located at 8101 River Road in Bethesda, Maryland. The Quarry Springs complex will open later this year.
