How many belongings do you have? Do you know? Think about every piece of furniture, every book, shoe, dish and MP3 player. Now, ask yourself this: How much money are all of those belongings worth? What would it cost you to replace everything you own?
It’s officially the new year, which means that you need to start following through on your resolutions. Why not start by finally organizing and optimizing your workspace? The condition of your workstation can have a huge impact on quality and productivity. The SpareFoot office, for example, got rid of cubicles and opted instead for a more open workspace, allowing for more communication between departments and a collaborative atmosphere. If you’re completely inundated with loose-leaf papers, rogue office supplies, and bouquets of cords, don’t worry: we’ve got you covered.

Not only is summer the most popular time of the year to move, it’s also when some households find themselves a little emptier as graduates prepare to move out and start new life chapters. These changes lead to a question: “Is now the right time to move out of my single-family home and downsize to a smaller dwelling?” Downsizing your home can offer many financial and emotional benefits for empty-nesters; here are our top 10:
Spring is in the air. It’s the season for April showers, May flowers, and for many homes across the nation, Spring Cleaning. This was what led Sandra Faulkner of Portland, Oregon to seek self-storage, and what eventually led to her SpareFoot review of her new storage home at the local Money Saver Storage. → Keep Reading
So your neighborhood association left you a passive-aggressive note demanding immediate removal of all your holiday decorations (how do they know you still have a tree in the living room?), so it’s time to make your quarterly venture into the attic. Grabbing a ladder from your newly decluttered garage, you begin to think about the noises that periodically seep through the ceiling. Is your attic haunted? Have the neighborhood cats moved in? Whoever is up there, they sure seem to be enjoying themselves. And if ghosts and cats can throw a slamming attic party amidst the chaotic debris of unused sports equipment, moth-eaten clothes, and broken suitcases, think of the fun you could have in a freshly clean and remodeled attic space!*
As American finance teeters and our government works to stabilize the economy, we must tighten our belts and hope for better days. A society that has been defined for decades by the accumulation of “stuff” is now being forced to downsize, minimize and prioritize. We’re in a race to clean out the garage and empty the basement. It’s easy to indiscriminately purge our lives of non-essentials, but what do we lose in the process? Are we unwittingly casting aside the meaningful along with the meaningless?
Stumbling over abandoned sports equipment and mysterious boxes whose labels have faded with time, you freeze in the middle of your garage. You’ve forgotten what you were looking for, because your thoughts are 100% occupied with a sudden flash of inspiration— you need a Foosball table! And it will go… right where that huge stack of documents currently sits! Your imagination has plenty of room for tournaments, half-time breaks, and guy-time hangouts made possible by your new Foosball purchase, so why shouldn’t your garage? Using a self-storage unit to offset clutter will help pave the way for countless nights of Foosball frivolity.
In efforts to remedy a cluttered home, you may have come across the option of renting a self-storage unit. Searching online through sites like SpareFoot, you found a facility that works perfectly for you, and you’re ready to move in. But before you start wiping out the attic, consider the seasonal uses a storage unit can serve. Creating a seasonal rotation for your storage unit will reduce the clutter, exercise your organizational muscles, and give you a greater awareness of just what exactly has been sitting in your attic all these years. This is the perfect “Fall cleaning” project to help you get organized for the new season.
