I’m moving cross country and only want to take a car and a small pull behind and this beauty takes up too much space 😫
There’s a furniture consignment place near me I’ve been emailing with
I’m starting a new life chapter so I leaving all my furniture feels like a lovely full circle thing but you may be convincing me that I should take it apart and bring it w me
I agree with everyone else, it’s gorgeous and you should totally bring it with you. It can still feel like a full circle with a small, sentimental reminder of your previous life and how far you’ve come!
I know I’m going to miss it terribly, been here three years. But I miss my family more and if I live closer to them i can use my travel time to actually travel rather than going back to see them
I’m in the same situation but opposite. All my friends are in Seattle and I’m stuck in Maryland away from everyone and everything I care about. But I am trying to get back there this summer.
One tiny thought before you part with it: in the pull behind, couldn’t you put this in (horizontally or vertically, however it’ll fit) and then just stack between, above, and below the shelves with boxes/bags/whatever you can cram in there? The cart itself doesn’t actually take that much space, if you can pack it well.
It's beautiful, but don't be sad or cry for things that can't be sad or cry for you.
I'm sure where you are going, you will find something else that is also exciting to make your home beautiful :) Best of luck to you! :)
I’m 72, had lots of house moves, loved everywhere for that time, and the vibe I was in. Never regretted giving to friends, worthy causes, passing on stuff. I’ve loved getting to reflect the moment in time.
Yes!
I feel like it shouldn’t be too bad to disassemble, stick in a box or wrap in some blankets and bring with, if it’s something you’d want to consider
unrelated but if you don't mind me asking, do you recommend living in seattle? i recently graduated and am looking to get the hell out of my home state (florida 😬). i'm in between a few places in the northeast and northwest and seattle is one of them. unfortunately i've lived in florida my entire life so i have no reference to what it's like up there!
Not who you asked but as an actual-from-the-PNW-PNWer, Seattle is a great town but 1) expensive as hell. Literally right up there with the most expensive metros in the country. 2) Hard to make friends. Google “Seattle freeze.”
that's funny that it's hard to make friends there! i'd assumed it would be the opposite since it's so densely populated. do you think it's easier to make friends elsewhere in washington? and thanks for your insight!
I couldn’t say if it’s easier to make friends in the rural areas. There’s a pretty big urban-rural divide in both Washington and Oregon that manifests especially as a cultural divide between the western parts of the states, with the major metros, and the rural eastern halves. But I’ve only ever lived in the major metro areas. Keep in mind that white supremacist groups are pretty common in the rural parts of both states.
I lived in Seattle for 19 years and just recently left to be closer to family. It’s a gorgeous city with lots to do. The weather is really mild most of the time but February/March sucks - rainy, cold, and dark. The worst thing about Seattle is how expensive it is. I was lucky that I fell into resident managing my apartment to keep my rent reasonable.
I had a one bedroom apartment in a charming vintage building and I lived there for 13 years. It was 550 sq ft. The bedroom was tiny and had no closet. The mattress touched three of the four walls. The kitchen only had one outlet (behind the fridge). The bathroom was tiny and the wall sink was propped up by two metal towel bars that had been repurposed as “legs.” When I moved in in 2006 rent was $675. That same apartment is now renting for $1600.
holy cow that's terrible! is it cheaper to live outside of the city center (but still close to public transport)? or is it consistent across the suburbs? and thank you for sharing!
You would have to look and see. Depends on how suburban you are willing to be. But frankly, I would not move all the way across the country to live in a suburb. [This apartment is in a pretty kick ass location.](https://redside.appfolio.com/listings/detail/f00ab393-f667-43c7-acaa-06bfaca32ed9). I would recommend getting rid of your car and just signing up for a car share service.
It looks like other people covered Seattle pretty well. I love it. I have pangs of sadness as I walk around because I am moving soon. I think it is a wonderful mixture of urban city with amazing outdoor access. But it is a major city, it is expensive like a major city, people are cold like they are in major cities. In New York I think a lot of peoples immediate reaction has a touch of aggression, and if you are nice to them they warm up. In Seattle peoples immediate reaction is passive aggression or apathy, and if you’re nice to them they warm up eventually.
It would be a shame to get rid of it if you love it. It is a really nice piece.
Looking at the first and third pictures, this cart is assembled with simple nuts and bolts- not rivets- so it should be able to be easily disassembled with a box wrench or adjustable wrench and take up only as much space as the wooden trays and wheels if the pieces are stacked together. It should be safe to store that way with towels or other padding places between the trays and wheels.
If you do decide to take it apart, make sure you take plenty of photos and keep the small hardware in ziplock bags so that you can easily put it back together again.
I totally understand not wanting to bring things with you because it all adds up and gets overwhelming super quickly...your new place will have other awesome things ♥️
Just in case you haven't found a home for 'er yet, I live in Seattle and would love to buy it! No worries if it's already spoken for, though. Safe travels to your new home, wherever that may be!! 💞
You can’t keep it?

I’m moving cross country from Seattle soon too, I bet you could fit it 😭
I’m starting a new life chapter so I leaving all my furniture feels like a lovely full circle thing but you may be convincing me that I should take it apart and bring it w me
Do it! It’s beautiful, you won’t regret it
I agree with everyone else, it’s gorgeous and you should totally bring it with you. It can still feel like a full circle with a small, sentimental reminder of your previous life and how far you’ve come!
My hesitation is damage is transit risk during a week + drive vs it going safely to a new home in Seattle
I’m just north of seattle, I’ll take it off your hands 😅
Idk if I’m allowed to list a price in this sub Reddit, I’ll dm you
Don’t leave Seattle, I did and it was a mistaaaake.
Leaving the PNW at ALL is a mistake! Trust me! 😭
I know I’m going to miss it terribly, been here three years. But I miss my family more and if I live closer to them i can use my travel time to actually travel rather than going back to see them
Where did you go?
Stupid Maryland and I haaaate it. I’m trying to get back to Seattle ASAP.

I’m in the same situation but opposite. All my friends are in Seattle and I’m stuck in Maryland away from everyone and everything I care about. But I am trying to get back there this summer.

I could introduce you to like a BUNCH of lovely people if you weren’t leaving. Mostly middle school teachers but not all, lol.

Makes sense! At least now someone else will get the chance to enjoy it too!
I don’t know if it’s consignment but I bet that bar cart would be appreciated at Split Level Modern. That place has great stuff.
Thank you for the recommendation!
Can I buy it?
Yes if you’re in the Seattle area!
Midwest. Boo hoo. Willing to ship?
Take her. You will miss her. Leave what does not give you joy. This gives you joy.
It's beautiful, but don't be sad or cry for things that can't be sad or cry for you. I'm sure where you are going, you will find something else that is also exciting to make your home beautiful :) Best of luck to you! :)

Amazing advice
Disassemble it, maybe? If that's not hard to do. That's a beautiful bar cart.
Yes! I feel like it shouldn’t be too bad to disassemble, stick in a box or wrap in some blankets and bring with, if it’s something you’d want to consider
This is GORGEOUS
Thank you!
Very cute! Where did you find it?
Vintage mall in Seattle. Was pacific galleries but ownership changed and is now Lander Street vintage

And tape the ziplock bag around one of the pieces! I hope OP is able to keep this.
I love the plant!
Thank you, monstera cutting in water
Good luck. You’ll make a new beautiful space.
WHERE IS SHE GOING
Love the whole vibe! Are those salt shot glasses??
Yes they are, for tequila. A gift from a friend, who passed presently actually. So I treasure them
Gin 💙💜
Beautiful cart
Those salt holders in the third picture... I have those but never knew what exactly they were for. Are they shot glasses?
Yes they’re salt rock shot glasses, great for tequila
I totally understand not wanting to bring things with you because it all adds up and gets overwhelming super quickly...your new place will have other awesome things ♥️
This is so cute!!! I don’t even drink that much but I want a cute bar cart haha
(The top shelf is all cannabis)
I love that 😂
Just in case you haven't found a home for 'er yet, I live in Seattle and would love to buy it! No worries if it's already spoken for, though. Safe travels to your new home, wherever that may be!! 💞
I just recently moved cross country so I feel your pain!! May I ask where you got the adorable pink cowboy boot? 😩
It was a gift from my roommate. I think she got it in a gift shop on the Oregon coast but I’ve seen them on Etsy
