Don’t make it sound as though we are exploring the universe or an unknown continent recommended reading. But it’s still cool.
Imagine your home right now. You probably have the same problem as me. Where is all this stuff from? There are still the boxes with your last Christmas gifts (oops) and that guitar which you had promised you would play one day. Do not forget your closet. Mini storage units: the solution we didn’t know we needed.
There are some things to keep in mind when choosing a small storage unit. You don’t need to rent a whole cavern when you just need a little cubbyhole. You may want to consider climate control. You do not want your old photographs and comic book collection to be turned into a chemistry project by humidity.
The security of your belongings is also important. You’d like to know your stuff will be there for you when the time comes. Find places that are secure and have cameras. This would be like putting your valuables in Fort Knox but without gold bars.
The location is very important. Although it might seem smart to choose the middle location and save money, it will cost you an extra hour every time that you want your holiday decorations or camping equipment. You are willing for a small price increase to get the gas and save time. Priceless.
You can be creative! Who says they are just for storage? Some have converted theirs into mini-gyms or practice rooms for bands. (Though their neighbors would probably love it). You can make your space more useful by thinking outside of the box.
Don’t let your unit turn into a black hole. Take a good look at your unit from time to time. Do I actually need three sets of fondue? Probably not. If you manage your things well, you will be able to use and appreciate what you’ve stored.
Let’s discuss money. Renting the bad boys might seem like a new bill but compare it to the cost if you trip on clutter, or rent an extra-large flat for closets.
A final piece of advice. You do not have to hold on to your things 24/7. By giving them their space away from our homes, we can enjoy and relax in our own spaces.
A girl could dream… If they only could organize themselves… a woman can dream.
What is eco friendly construction? Intelligent living is more important than good vibes. Isn’t this something that makes you want two trees to hug? Eco-friendly housing doesn’t happen over night, and it takes a lot of work. The most important legacy we can leave is to build a sustainable home. This requires humor, creativity and patience. Cheers!
