Give the Gift of Storage
Perfect in Every Way, Except…Clutter!
We have a dear friend (and bet you have one, too) that is in every way a smart, sophisticated, totally together individual – except where her apartment is concerned. When it comes to her stuff, she’s got a Kung Fu grip. We’re talking five years of The Economist and Runners’ World magazines stuffed in a corner, untouched since 2005, but kept around because maybe, just maybe, she might want to go back and read an article.
The catch? She’s always complaining about how disorganized her place is. That she can’t find anything, it’s all cluttered, and yadda yadda yadda. To which we have always replied, “read any of those Economist articles lately?”
Clean Closets? It’s a Holiday Miracle!
But something beautiful happened this weekend. Perhaps inspired by a divine vision or just sick of us teasing her for the time she lost a favorite shoe somewhere in her own closet, this woman – we’ll call her Jules – began to clean. She started in her bathroom, moved to the bedroom and eventually the kitchen was under siege.
And the magazines? Into boxes for storage, right next to her vast 6th grade pewter unicorn collection. (Her Kung Fu grip loosened…it didn’t let go entirely.)
It Takes a Village to Clean a Closet
By this time, word had spread and the troops were mobilized. By the time her twenty pounds of mismatched Tupperware was excavated, friends had showed up at her place to lend moral support and extra hands.
Shoes were boxed (and the missing one found!), furniture moved, piles made and wine consumed. The atmosphere was downright festive! It became a spontaneous cleaning/purging/storing event, goofier than a holiday soiree, less calories than a pity party. Fun was had by all AND Jules now has a great place to live and work (did we mention she runs her business out of her living room?).
Throw Your Own Storage Party!
As we said – there’s a very high chance that you have a Jules of your very own who needs some serious closet storage solutions! So how about this for a rocking holiday present? Organize a storage party! Grab a few friends and make a date to help her bring order to chaos.
Clean, purge, and box ‘til you drop. Then call us and our Storage Taxi will get those boxes into storage close by. You can even all pitch in a few bucks to go towards the monthly costs (hey, it’s affordable – our units start at $29.99!). She’ll start the New Year with a clean slate and you’ll never have to hear her complain about her cluttered apartment again. Happy holidays, indeed!
