So you’re far away from home, and living in a company sponsored temp house, what do you do in the meantime? Adjusting to the new town and people will take some time. People are more relaxed if they aren’t pressured to sell their homes or move all their things.
In order to make your temp house a bit more personal, you can try the following:
Bring framed pictures of your family and friends to put around in different rooms.
If you have items that are particularly special to you, like a painting or vase, bring them too!
If possible, bring in a favorite lounge chair, blanket or something comforting.
Have your favorite scent around, like potpourri or perfume.
Don’t forget your stereo and CD player or Playstation for additional entertainment.
Buy a few things that reflect your style and can eventually be put in your new home – maybe candles or a floral wreath.
Since you’ll have a kitchen available, cook some familiar food! Tomato soup and grilled cheese or fresh baked cookies can do wonders for the soul. Going out to restaurants all the time can keep you from feeling at home and in a normal routine.
If your family is with you, continue traditions of movie night or walks in the park.
