Before you can put your house on the market…set up your in-home office…or move your parent into the spare bedroom, you have some decisions to make. Decisions like, “What do I do with Great Aunt Velma’s (ahem) heirloom vase?” “Which of these keepsakes do I really need to keep?” “Should these files head for the nearest recycling bin?” and, “Are seven sets of mismatched silverware ‘eclectic’ or merely ‘eccentric?’ ” Beyond the Box, Relocation and Design Services helps you make these decisions. With the next chapter of your life clearly in mind, we work with you to carefully edit your possessions. Items that you plan to keep will fall into two categories: things to be organized so that you can use them now, and things to be stored for your move or future use. Two of our favorite associates can help you manage those tasks with ease.

Simply Easy
Home offices, kitchen cabinets, children’s bedrooms, fashionistas’ closets…wherever possessions have run amok, Simply Easy Organizing Solutions can reinstate order.  We love the way Simply Easy can whip any home into “realtor-ready” shape. Not moving? Family life runs more smoothly, in-home businesses run more efficiently when clutter’s been banished and belongings are fetchingly stored in their proper place. Working within your financial parameters, partners Sandy Spigler and Lone Knuhtsen assess your needs, develop organizing strategies, get the job done, and even offer a complimentary maintenance plan to keep you – and your treasures – on the straight and narrow. Our clients rave about Simply Easy; you will, too!  Visit their website at www.Organized2day.com.  Tell them Beyond the Box sent you.

Store to Door
Can’t contain yourself? Sure you can! Just call Store to Door.  For one flat fee, this company will deliver to your home or office as many room-sized storage containers as you need to store your belongings before, during or after your move. Their list of available supplies goes way Beyond Boxes, thoughtfully including everything you’ll need to accomplish the “de-clutterization.” From padding to pad locks they make it easy for you to pack, label, and load ‘em yourself.  When you’re ready, Store to Door will come and cart away your containers, holding them at the company’s secure, climate-controlled storage facility or shipping them to your new destination (where Beyond the Box will supervise the unpacking and set up!). Packing and storing your possessions has never been easier or more cost-efficient.  Monthly storage rates run approximately $69 per container.

Need access to files for an important meeting or to retrieve Aunt Velma’s precious vase for an unexpected drop by from the little dear? No problem!  Just give Store to Door a few hours notice. You can drive your car into the warehouse, right up to your ready and waiting container. Once the files or vase are safely in hand, simply wave good-bye and hit the gas. The friendly warehouse attendants will return your container to safe keeping.

We at Beyond the Box have used Store to Door for our personal and professional moves and can’t recommend their friendly, efficient services enthusiastically enough.  Call the Washington DC area manager Tom Johnston directly at 703.926.0285.  He personally will ensure that you are expertly contained!
