Do you really have to throw all unwanted items away? All the furniture in the guest room you carefully picked out piece by piece, the artwork hanging in the formal dining room you’ll no longer have, and the piles of boxes stored in your garage that you’ll have no room to store in your smaller condo offer the dilemma of throwing them out or storing them somewhere inside or outside your new place. Outside storage could make the move easier and less painful when deciding what to keep and what to throw out. When, Where, Why, and How Long? These are important points to consider when deciding what to do with some of those unwanted items. For instance, if you’re moving across the country in two weeks, you might want to lighten the load of whatever you’re bringing with you and get rid of things you know you won’t need. However, if you’re moving to a condo only a few miles away and you have several months before you go, there’s a lot of time to move and store items that won’t fit in your condo. How long you will live in your next home is also a factor worth considering. If you give up all your furniture and décor to move to your condo but you’ll only be there a couple of years while you’re building a larger house, you’ll end up sitting on the floor in your big house when it’s finished and staring at blank walls. Inquire with Family and Friends While you may not need that dining room table with the removable that seats up to twenty, you may have friends or family that are looking to take it off your hands. Ask around to see if there’s anyone who needs or wants the items you’re looking to get rid of, and if they can’t take them for awhile, use a Tucson storage unit to keep those items safe and out of the way until they’re ready for transport.
