Take an inventory of both of your belongings and sell off any duplicates? Like if you each have a set of kitchen appliances (2 toasters, blenders, coffepots, etc), a second set of dinner ware, a second vaccum, etc. Also, this will be helpful to find out what sort of storage options you need.

Just realize that you've come from different households, and there will be a ton of little tiny details he does differently that will drive you crazy, but you'll also do tiny things that drive him crazy. Talk though them and figure out if you'll 

1. Pick one way and stick with it.

2. Change it back and forth for each person who uses it.

Then stick with it.

Discuss ahead of time, what chores will be who's responsibilties. Don't make it set in stone, but make it a guideline. For example, in our household, I cook, my fiance cleans up. I have vacuuming and she has the bathroom. Do we help one another? Of course, but it's easier having it divvied.

Am I reading that right that he's about to move out of *your* parents' house? Do you live there also or are you living in your own place? From the rest of your post it sounds like you haven't lived together before? In any case, PPs advice is good, to make an inventory of all of your and his stuff, and discuss how running the household will go.
