Manage Clutter With a Spring Cleaning Plan

Whether your space is big or small, clutter is a problem faced by all homeowners. You begin with a nice, new, tidy home, but after a few months clutter starts to creep in slowly. Instead of things falling into place they end up falling on the floor. Well, relax home owners. Spring is the perfect time to banish clutter once and for all! And you'll discover with our plan that fighting clutter isn't as painful as you think.

Pick A Drawer - Any Drawer

Let's ease into this thing. Pick one drawer in your house and take everything out. Take out anything trash worthy, like dried up glue or anything broken. Now decide what sort of drawer this will be and only put back items that meet its description. Everything else put in a big box which will serve as your box of clutter. Repeat with every drawer in your house. Once everything is in its proper place, go through your clutter box and place it in its corresponding drawer. Anything left over that doesn't have a place can either be donated or thrown out.

Organize Your Closet Space

This is where people often get stuck, as closets seem to serve as unorganized dumping grounds of randomness. Just like with the drawers, take everything out and take inventory of what you have. Before putting any items back, ask yourself how you can do it better. Visit your nearest IKEA where you can find all manner of storage racks to hang, box or fold to your heart's content.

Banish Bathroom Clutter

Time to tackle the bathroom. By now, you've already conquered its drawers and closets, so let's optimize. Using hooks and dividers, organize hair dryers, brushes, products and linens. Put cotton balls and q-tips in jars and coordinate makeup.

Electronics

If power cords and stacks of CDs have you in a bundle, then this step will help you clear up electronic clutter. Dividers and hooks will sort through cables while twist ties will keep cords from tangling.

Dispose of Disposables

Stop storing pasta, cereals, and other food items in their disposable packing counterparts. Not only does it make food go stale faster, but it also hinders you from seeing how much more of a particular item you have left. Use glass jars with tight seals to banish clutter and keep food tasting crisp.

To Keep Or Not To Keep - That Is The Question

We all know how hard it is to get rid of clothes. After all, just because you haven't worn something for the past five months doesn't mean you won't want to wear it five months from now. Put clothing items to the test; store them in a box and put it in the back of your closet. If you miss it later - keep it. But if you pull that box out in a few months from now and you could still care less, then donate it to someone who is going to love it.

Maintain Organization With Consistency

Clutter doesn't just appear overnight - it creeps up on you. To keep clutter at bay, the key is in consistency. Consistently hang up your jacket once you take it off. If you're going to wear those jeans again, put them in their proper place. Do the dishes. Put away whatever you just used. Remain consistent!

Happy spring cleaning from all of us at Bulwark Moving!

5 Home Improvement Projects for Spring

Spring is in the air and with it comes the perfect time for a little revamping. Shed some light on your home and defrost it with some fun springtime DIY home improvement projects.

Add Pops of Color

There are countless ways to add pops of color to your home. All it takes is a little paint and some time. Colorblock a plant vase or paint the legs of that old stool. Don't worry too much about sticking to a single color scheme; mixing and matching hues is half the fun.

Plant a Garden

Is any other time of the year more perfect for gardening than the springs? After all, it's April showers that bring May flowers. And not only flowers, but herbs and lettuce and yummy fruits! For all of you with no outdoor living space, gardens aren't only for the outdoors - bring the outside in. A couple of herb plants in the kitchen and flower pots in the window do a lot to bring life into an otherwise dreary room.

Paint and Distress Mason Jars

For a springtime project that's both quick and fun, paint the inside of some mason jars. You can make them any color you want make perfect gifts. Plus, they can be used as cups, vases, containers - just about anything really.

String a Floral Garland

Floral garlands have been strung to decorate homes and parties for centuries. All you need is a stick, sandpaper, string, needle and your flowers of choice. Find a large stick and sandpaper it until it has a fine texture. Tie the string around the stick and thread your flowers along the length of the string. Voila!

Flower Popsicles

After revamping your house for spring you're going to be hungry for a treat. Make a snack that's both light and breezy - perfect for spring. The best thing about popsicles is that they're simple and can be tailored to suit any taste.

Moving Back North

The sun's coming back out, the snow is beginning to melt and it feels a bit warmer and warmer every day. Winter will soon be officially over and spring is only days away! Its been fun getting to wake up in the warm Phoenix desert thanks to your timeshare, but you're feeling a bit homesick. Time to pack up and move back north.

When moving back north, be sure to differentiate your sunny clothes from your winter ones. Despite it being spring, temperatures may still be very cold in your hometown and you'll have no need for that itsy-bitsy bikini. If you can, leave your warm weather clothes in the south. But if you must take them, make sure to pack them in their own box to save a hassle once you're home.

Watch for dangerous road conditions when moving north. Roads may still be icy and pose even more of a threat to loaded down trucks and trailers. If you decide to drive, make sure your tires have proper treading and a snow chain. If you're not comfortable with hauling heavy furniture in hazardous conditions, hiring a moving company may be just what you need to safely reach your destination.

In-State Long Distance Moves

Long Distance Moves

Ah, moving long distance! We do it for lots of reasons... you just got a new job, you or someone in the family is just starting at a new school, or maybe you just have a great sense of adventure! Whatever your reasons may be, long distance moves can be heavy work. We wouldn't want you to go at it alone.

Long Distance Moves In-State

Thankfully, moving to the other side of the state doesn't entail all the information uproot that moving out-of-state does. When you move to another state, you have to change your driver's license, address, and so much more. Plus, laws and regulations vary from state to state, so you might end up feeling out of the loop for a little while!

If you're moving long distance in-state, however, all you have to do is prepare yourself for the long drive. We handle moving all of your furniture, clothes, and other belongings. If you live in Arizona and you need to make a long distance move in-state, call us at Bulwark. We specialize in this kind of thing- so we'll have your house or apartment packed and unpacked across the state without a problem.
