If you’re planning a move, there’s a good chance that you may want to pick up some new and cute things for your home. Etsy, the artist’s marketplace, is a great website to use to find some really clever and creative items that you may not find anywhere else.
The issue with Etsy is that it can be somewhat difficult to navigate, since there are so many different types of items and different types of people selling those items on the website. Here’s a guide on how to navigate the site, so that you can find that perfect item to add to your new home.
Using Filters and Reading Tags
Artists making handmade goods, and shoppers looking for those goods, have become somewhat frustrated with people selling items on Etsy that aren’t actually handmade. Since anyone can sell things on the site, some people have begun differentiating quality handmade goods with those that are factory made by using tags such as “Handmade in the USA,” or “Authentically Handmade.” You can also set site filters to include items that are handmade only, so that you aren’t looking at items sold in stores or purchased for the purpose of resale on the site.
That said, there are some machine made, or largely manufactured items, on the site that may actually be what you’re looking for. If you can’t find those items where you live, you may be able to find them for a much cheaper price on Etsy. So, don’t count out items that aren’t handmade unless you are looking for that specific handmade touch.
Buying From the World
One of the great things about Etsy is that it’s a true global marketplace. You can find items from other parts of the world like India and Thailand on the site, and those items are often really unique. If you want an item that has a particular feel to it, consider shopping outside of the US. What about safety and shipping woes?
The best way to make sure that you aren’t going to get ripped off is to take a good look at the reviews that other buyers have posted. Each shop lists reviews of items, and a seller that isn’t trustworthy will be called out. Plus, the site shuts down shops that have received too many bad reviews, so there’s some safety in this as well. Just read through those reviews, and note what other people are saying about a particular item. Otherwise, it’s a great deal of fun to purchase something that’s handmade in another country, so give it a try! And if you buy something, make sure to leave an honest review to help out the honest folks on the site!
Looking Carefully at Descriptions
It can be tempting to base purchases solely on photographs. You do have to realize that most people selling items on Etsy have mastered the art of the photograph, and Etsy even provides people with a guide on how to take the best photos (here’s a mental note to make if you ever want to sell anything on the site). This is why you have to read through a description of each item that you are considering buying. Carefully look at details like dimension information, material specifications, and other notes that might be present. This combined with a careful look at the review’s posted should provide you with a clear idea of what you are purchasing.
For the most part, the developers behind the Etsy site have tried to make the site as easy to navigate as possible, though this isn’t always the case. You can now use various filters in order to search for items, and this helps to narrow down the selection. Etsy is also a great place to go if you want an item for your home, but you don’t want to pay retail prices.
Sometimes, handmade goods can be expensive, but other times you can get a much better price and a better quality product by buying something that’s made locally or in another country. If you are moving long distance, buying newer items instead of trying to transport all of your old stuff makes a lot of sense too!

Moving anywhere means decorating and organizing a new home. Sometimes, fitting everything you own into that new space can be tough, and other times you may not have the time to figure it all out. When frustration over how to organize a new space hits, it might be a good idea to call in a professional interior designer.
If you Google ‘interior designer’ plus the name of your town, you’ll come up with a semi-massive list (in most cases) of designers. Is there a good way to choose a designer from that major list? Can you just pick one at random? More importantly, what should you look for in a good designer? Here are some tips to help you out from your movers in Fort Collins.
Figure Out the Scope of the Project: Major renovations require a designer that can easily work with contractors, understands project management, and has experience working with contractors during major renovations. This is not a project for someone that has never worked on a massive project before, but it’s perfect for someone that has extensive project management experience. You may even want to call an architect for this kind of job!
Payment Type: There are three different ways to pay interior designers. Some of these professionals work on a flat fee, others work on an hourly fee, and others work for free. A word of caution about a designer that works for free: these people are usually hired by specific companies to push certain products, so keep this in mind. If you love the products that one designer sells, go for free. If not, a flat rate might be a better way to pay depending on how much that rate is, and what’s included in the rate. Hourly rates are usually the most expensive way to pay for a designer, but you can set a budget at the start.
Do Your Own Research: Sometimes, designers can get good deals on things like carpet and materials, but other times designers add a markup to those items. It’s up to you to do your own research by looking at retail prices, and figuring out whether or not you’re getting a good deal. Sometimes, it might be better to buy those things on your own.
Meet With Each Designer: You don’t have to decide on one designer right away. Invite all potential candidates to come into your home and look around. Pay attention to suggestions, whether or not the designer is listening to you, and get a good feel for whether they understand what you want — or are more interested in their own designs and ideas. You’ll quickly see that some are self-absorbed, while others are in tune with what you really want.
What You Will Get
So, what can you expect to get from a high-priced designer? It will all begin with an initial consultation, which shouldn’t take more than an hour or two. After that, your designer may charge to shop for supplies, and to put things together in a room. Keep in mind that any time a designer consults with you, those hours or minutes will be billed too. Make sure that you communicate to the person you hire the level of involvement you wish to have in a project. Do you want to be a part of every decision, or do you want her to handle it completely? Do you need to touch things before you order them? Or, are you okay with picking things up online? Make sure to have these conversations before you hire any designer, so that you’re both on the same page. Often, this relationship is a close one, so pick someone that you trust, and choose someone that understands your design and style preferences.
Moving to Denver
If you are moving to the Denver area, you’ll find a lot of different designers in this city. But even if you aren’t moving to Denver, Exodus can help you move anywhere you want to go — even internationally. As movers in Fort Collins, CO, we know a thing or two about moving all kinds of items from one location to another. We can also hook you up with storage rental spaces in both Fort Collins and Denver, so that you can store anything you can’t bring with you.
Call us for a free moving quote that we will stick by. In the meantime, make sure to choose the designer that works best for you, and you’ll have a lovely space in no time!
Planning a move to the city that you’ve always wanted to live in is a great idea, and a great way to really take life by the reigns. But chances are that your dream city probably comes with small apartments. Small apartments can be great, though the one area of every small apartment that almost always needs work is the bathroom. If you’re considering moving into an apartment with a very small bathroom that needs work, you may have to get creative when it comes to redecorating.
Thankfully, we have some great bathroom decorating tips for you that won’t break the bank, won’t anger your landlord, and don’t require any major renovations. Sound good? Take a look at these great tips.
Go extra long. Is the bathroom ceiling super tall? Nothing looks more out of place (or dates a bathroom more) than a shower curtain that’s too short. You can buy extra long shower curtains, and hang these at a higher spot than a normal curtain. If you choose a clean color like white, you will immediately open up the space and trick the eye into thinking that your bathroom is much bigger than it actually is.
If you can’t find a longer curtain, you can also simply hang that shorter curtain lower by using chains and hooks — simply hang that curtain from a chain, and you’ve got a longer curtain instantly. Plus, chains can look clean and modern if you select the right ones (just attach the chains to shower curtain hooks).
Add more storage space. Small bathrooms tend to come with small medicine cabinets, and you may find that you don’t have enough space in that cramped cabinet for all of your things. You can hang shelves on the wall to hold some of your stuff, or you can purchase two large and thin cabinets, hang them next to each other, and create a much larger medicine cabinet space.
Change the lighting. Looking at dated lighting can also date your space. Surprisingly, changing bathroom lighting isn’t hard to do at all. Simply remove the older light, and replace it with something more modern for a better overall look.
Change the fixtures. Remove those old plastic bathroom sink fixtures, and replace it with something retro that you love. You can do the same thing when it comes to the fixtures inside of your bath or shower. Shower heads are simple enough to replace, and a professional plumber will only have to spend a few minutes replacing bath fixtures. Or, you can do this on your own if you know how to shut off the water supply properly.
Add some texture to the walls. Who says that you can’t put wallpaper in your bathroom? Go for something dramatic, and leave the rest of the spaces stainless and sparse for a great overall look that’s interesting and clean. Make sure you get proper wallpaper though, all that humidity could do a number to the wallpaper glue or the wallpaper itself.
Redo the caulking. Has the caulking in your bathroom seem better days? You can get down and dirty with a simple scraper and some new caulking. This project only takes a few hours, but you will see a world of difference.
Keeping It All Clean
The most important thing to remember when it comes to a small space is to keep it clean and uncluttered. Smaller bathrooms don’t have room for baskets and larger floor shelves, so try to keep things off of the floor and out of sight. A larger medicine cabinet will work wonders, and finding somewhere to put your towels will also help a great deal. If everything has a space and place, you can keep things clean and clutter-free.
Your Upcoming Move
Moving to a new place means a new change at decor, and that can be a lot of fun. If you haven’t booked a moving company yet, consider Exodus Moving and Storage.

Urban farming is on the rise, and that means that your city neighbor may be raising chickens or planting a rooftop garden. Some bigger city farm organizations may also be planting rows of crops for people to enjoy, or to help out inner city kids (as many cities currently do). While urban farming is great and really important, there are some aspects of the urban farm that a lot of people starting these outfits never consider prior to setting up shop.
One of the problems urban farmers that have large spaces face is how to handle farm equipment when it comes to making a move. Even the biggest rooftop farms have some kind of equipment, and moving anything of this sort requires a special hand and some definite expertise.
First: Work Out the Permits
You can’t simply throw a massive piece of farm machinery on a flatbed truck and head down the highway. In most cities, moving large pieces of equipment that can spill over into another lane requires a special permit. Find out if you need this permit before you move, or you could be looking at a hefty fine — and no farm equipment at your new place before you get that permit.
On the other hand, if you just want to drive a tractor down a road that’s not a highway, you can usually do so without a permit (but it’s still worth checking!). What if you want to tow a piece of equipment? Can you do this without a permit? The answer is that it depends on where you are towing. If you are towing on a major highway, then you need a permit. If you are towing on a side road, you probably don’t need a permit. Then again, you do need a permit for most things in any city, so keep this in mind. You may also want to buy some “Wide Load” signs just in case!
Next: Think about the Fragility
Some farm equipment is really fragile. If you have special water systems for your rooftop farm, or a very expensive piece of equipment that you have to be very careful to transport, you do not want to move these items haphazardly. It is highly recommended that you call movers in Boulder, CO if you plan to move farm equipment in this area. Professional movers will be able to tell you whether or not they can move fragile and expensive equipment, or whether you need a special kind of mover to help make this trip.
The benefit to hiring professionals is that a company that’s both insured and bonded is liable for any kind of move that they make. So, if your equipment winds up damaged in a move, you can simply go back to the company and claim any damages that way. Companies that specialize in these types of moves have insurance for these reasons.
Finally: What About Your Plants?
Plants of any kind are extremely fragile. If you’ve been working with and growing plants for some time now, you know just how picky they can be. Some plants might not appreciate a long move without proper care, and proper care means hiring movers with the right equipment to transport your plants without any harm being done to them. Once again, this kind of move requires a special team of movers that have experience handling fragile plants.
How You Can Prepare Your Longmont Movers
Even the most specialized of movers need instructions when it comes to something as important as transporting fragile plants or how to move certain equipment. It’s advisable that you have someone from your staff explain to your moving team how to accurately and precisely move equipment or plants from one location to the next. With proper care instructions, your plants and equipment can be moved without harm, and you can set up shop somewhere new with all of your important items in place.
It takes a lot to move a farm, which is why many farmers never move! But today’s urban farms move regularly due to space and other issues. Knowing how to move your equipment by getting the right permits and operating with a moving team that you can trust will make all the difference. As an experienced moving company in Fort Collins, Exodus Moving and Storage is ready for you if you need help moving your farm. To find out more about our services, call us today to schedule an appointment, or to ask us any questions that you may have.

Moving to Fort Collins, CO? Why not incorporate some of this year’s biggest decor trends in with your move? There’s nothing quite as refreshing as starting off a new year with a new look, and that can apply to your new home too. The more that you love your home, the more time you’ll want to spend there, so why not make it perfect? Take a look at these top 2015 decor trends!
Eclectic Era Mixing: Instead of trying hard to incorporate items from one particular area into any living space, think about mixing it up. Add some chairs from the 1950s combined with a modern wooden farm table, or just add those pieces that you find in both modern stores and in vintage shops. The overall look will be one that combines eras and works perfectly together in eclectic harmony.
Black Trim: Instead of white, think about painting your trim black. Glossy black is making a comeback in a big way, and trim painted in black can really make a room stand out.
The Minimalist Look: Got a lot of stuff that you’re tired of looking at? This is what the minimalist look is for, and it works very well if you go with industrial inspired pieces. Start sorting through your things, and get rid of stuff that you don’t need anymore. You’ll find that you’re left with a much simpler decor that works with anything you want to incorporate. Less is more here.
Mixing Materials: The look of leather next to metal or heavy items next to those that are on the thin side is really interesting and works well in any space. You don’t have to go with all the same weight and thickness, so don’t be shy to mix it up.
Texture Play: Smooth things look really great next to fuzzy things — just throw a fuzzy blanket on a smooth leather couch, and see just how much fun it is to play with texture! This look is popular right now for good reason.
Organized Clutter: You can have a lot of things, just try and put those things into some kind of organized mess, so that it looks like you are intentionally messy — tricky to do, but nice to look at if you can pull it off.
Don’t be Afraid to Play
Your home should be a place that you love, and a place that you are comfortable in. No matter what size your new place is, you can play with any kind of decor. After all, the only person that has to love your look is you. You don’t even have to have a new decor in mind before you call movers in Longmont, CO. You can move in, play around with decor ideas, and figure it all out as you go along. Eventually, you will find a lifestyle that you love!
Moving to Your New Home
The only thing you have to do before you move is figure out what moving company you want to use. That’s easy too. Exodus Moving and Storage can take care of all your moving needs from packing to unpacking, and we can even move you across the country. In addition, we do have storage spaces for rent in both Fort Collins and Denver in case you do decide to go minimalist (but aren’t sure you want to commit!). Just ask us about our storage rental rates and policies.
Whether you need piano moving in Denver to mix old with new as part of your decor, or whether you just want to move your items from one place to the next, Exodus is ready and waiting for your call.
Indoor shutters can be added to any home for a unique look that’s clean and defined. Shutters can also be added to doors and windows in an apartment — this look is especially great if the windows inside of your apartment have seen better days! You may not have control over the way that the windows look, but you can add some indoor shutters to let in light and keep those ugly windows on the outside. Shutters also add privacy, which is a great thing if you happen to live in a city where space is an issue.
How to Decorate with Indoor Shutters
If you start to look at various home supply stores, you will see a plethora of shutter types. From faux wood to actual wood (and various types of wood), prices really fluctuate based on the type of material that you choose. If you plan to move and leave your shutters behind, faux can look just as good as the real thing (just know that faux probably won’t add value to a home that you own, but real wood shutters will likely add some value).
If you are a purist, go with wooden shutters for an authentic look. Speaking of authentic, where do indoor shutters originate from anyway? There are actually two types of shutters including “Plantation Shutters” and “New England Shutters” (some companies may offer additional types as well). What’s the difference?
Choosing the Right Kind
Typically, New England type shutters keep light out of a room, and are installed in order to make a room darker. If your goal is to let in as much light as possible, choosing Plantation shutters is a better idea. As the name suggests, Plantation shutters were once popular in plantation homes because they keep extreme heat out while letting in plenty of sunlight. You can also find some refurbished antique shutters if that’s the look you are going for.
Not Just Black and White
Most shutters that you can buy in a store right now come in either white, black, or a natural wooden color. But, that doesn’t mean that your shutters have to stay any of these colors! You can easily paint white shutters any kind of accent color to really make a window stand out (looks great if you are painting a full-length door shutter too). If the rest of the room is white, and you put a pair of teal shutters in the middle of the room, you’ll create an amazing look that stands out.
You can also purchase custom shutters from various stores that can be found on the Internet, and these are ideal if you have windows that are difficult to fit. Shutters can be placed outside of a window or inside of a window, and you can choose to cover either side of shutters with curtains or not — this look is really versatile, and it’s the fastest way to make damaged windows look worlds better. If you are moving to Boulder and you want to set up a room that looks amazing, consider indoor shutters for a great look!

Are you ready to move to a different town or state? Call Exodus Moving and Storage today for more information about our pricing, rates, and our storage space rentals. When it come to moving you from where you are now to anywhere else, Exodus can help you get where you’re going. While you work on moving, feel free to look around this blog for all kinds of tips on decorating, moving, living in Colorado, and local happenings. Our goal with this blog is to cover every aspect of moving from decorating your new home to figuring out your new surroundings – and don’t be afraid to ask us about something you’d like to know more about!
It’s almost a new year. It’s a time we sit back and reflect on the happenings of the past year, looking forward for what the next year has in store. Some make resolutions, while others search for other ways to freshen up their surroundings for the new year. Are you one of those?
Having just moved, you are probably looking around thinking, “I really need to freshen up the look of this room!” Let the new year be the time for that change! Time to part with the items the Colorado moving company brought from your old house to the new one and change things up a bit. Whether you opt for all new furniture and decorations or just a few touches here and there, here are some ideas on how to bring a new look to your new home just in time for the new year.
The whole shebang. When some people get bit by the re-decorating bug, they often get what we like to call “everything-must-go mentality.” These people couldn’t possibly imagine changing just a few details. They see an entirely new room, from the ground up. While this is a great approach, it is costly.
Accents. If starting small is your course of action, accent pieces are a great place to start. These can be any small touches throughout the room, pillows on the couches, even a new side table next to the recliner. That side table could be just the piece that you’ve been missing ever since the national moving company put that recliner in place! Choose fun and funky accent pillows to lend a pop of color to an otherwise drab and neutral color scheme, and consider switching them out throughout the year with seasonal pillows. You’d be amazed at what a simple throw blanket can do to make a room seem cozier, and a bookshelf by the chaise might be just what the reader of the household has always wanted.
One simple way to change the look of the room is to change the curtains. Love your curtains but want to freshen them up a bit? Consider adding a sheer coordinating swag or valance, or some decorative tie-backs. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, don’t forget about the thrift shops! You’d be surprised at the items you can find. While some will be exactly as you want them, don’t forget to have a creative eye going in – that boring coffee table can be turned into something awesome! Just Google some DIY projects for inspiration before you head out shopping.
Look to the walls. Sometimes, all a room needs is some wall art to pull it all together. You don’t need to go all out on a big painting to hang over the mantle either. If your budget doesn’t allow for the real thing, hit up an artwork shop that features a wide selection of prints. Choose a nice big one and have it framed, and you’ll see it’s just as pleasing as a fancy painting. If you’re feeling bold, get creative and make your own wall art! Not creative? Go through your pictures and see if there is anything worthy of printing out on canvas. Many online photo shops offer affordable canvas print options, and you can have a larger than life way of showcasing that amazing shot you took on your trip to Niagara Falls last year.
Start small. If redoing the living room intimidates you or you just don’t have the money to tackle such a tremendous decorating feat, just scale it down a bit. Start in the bathroom or even one of your kids’ bedrooms.
Organize it. You likely decluttered before the furniture movers packed a single item onto the truck. You might have even done it once more after unpacking. Now, with what remains, you you could start making sense of the madness by better organizing it all. If the idea seems a bit scary, start by browsing the many organization options in your local store or online. Look up the topic on Pinterest, and watch the amazing ideas scroll before your eyes. I’ll bet you’ve seen something that motivates you, something you just can’t wait to try. Start with one room until you’ve moved your way throughout the house. The best part: there’s now more room for fun decorative pieces, seasonal or otherwise!
Your dear friends have just moved with the help of Boulder movers, and are working on getting settled in to their new home. Next up: the housewarming party. Sure, you could get them a Tupperware set or some kind of cute “Welcome Home” sign to hang on their door, but chances are they already have enough of that. If you have to employ a residential moving company to get your stuff to your new house, you probably have all of the typical household items given at housewarming parties.
If you’re looking to get your friends something incredibly thoughtful and unique, something no one else will get them, here’s a fun list.
Make a terrarium. Terrariums are all the rage – glass containers housing a mini indoor garden – and they’re simple to make. Google it to get ideas, and then make them a unique, one-of-a-kind gift you’ve taken the time to design just for them. The best part: every time they go to water it, it will remind them of you!
Jar up a meal. Forget the sugary treats-in-a-jar, where all the ingredients are in there layered attractively so that they can enjoy your family’s sugar cookie recipe, for example. What they really want is a home cooked meal without the fuss (or the measuring cups, because they’ve been packed by the Fort Collins moving company!). A popular choice here is pasta and soup, where everything you need is all in the jar with instructions on how to heat it up. All they need to do is dump it in the pot and cook it. Just as convenient as take-out without the expense. If you can’t find something you like, you can always provide something they can freeze, like lasagna or another casserole-type dish. Trust me when we say your gift will be their favorite gift!
Cake. But not the type you eat. Think diaper cake, but no diapers. You can do a household essentials cake, with a basket of cleaning supplies at the bottom, toilet paper in the middle, and paper towels topping it off, wrap it all up in cellophane, and tie a bow on it. More like gift baskets than cake.
Grocery gift card. Just like the jarred meal, it’s exactly what they want. You know their pantry needs stocking, and this is the perfect way to help them.
Throw blanket. This is always a winner – everyone could use more blankets! Consider their décor and tastes when choosing the right throw to suit them so it doesn’t end up forever banished to a closet.
Personalized anything. Whether a simple sign for inside their house, a welcome sign outside with their name on it, or a personalized doormat, you can’t go wrong. The best part is you can personalize just about anything these days, even cutting boards and wine casks! This opens up the door to choosing something that is uniquely them.
QR Code for their Wi-Fi password. You know everyone is going to ask them for it, so make things super simple for them and provide a framed QR code guests can scan to log in to their wifi network. Genius! Just head to QRStuff.com, select “plain text,” and enter the password. After choosing a color to print it in, the website will automatically generate a QR code. Voila! Test it with your devices to make sure it works, and then print it out and frame it. Simple, and very unique (your friends will love it!).
A strange kitchen item no one would buy for themselves. Did you know they make a kitchen tool that you stick in the center of a cake, and it marks the lines to cut perfect slices? Your friends probably don’t have one, nor would they buy one – but you could! Housewarming parties are the perfect place to give these I-didn’t-realize-I-needed-it gifts. Other great items include a spaghetti measure, a plate designed for serving pancakes, novelty cutting boards, and magnetic bottle openers.
USB charging outlet. Why take up valuable outlet real estate? Purchase them a couple of wall outlets that feature a built in USB charging port right next to the outlets.
Personalized commemorative ornament. Commemorate this moment in time with an “Our New House” ornament. You can find many online that are as simple as that saying with the year, or add their last name. Find one that suits them so that they can be reminded of this moment every time they decorate the Christmas tree.
Forget the kitchen towel set. Get them something unique they’ll cherish for years to come, long after the Boulder movers have gone. Contact us today if you need Boulder movers!
This Fresh Place Friday brings us to Sterling, a town on the South Platte River in northeastern Colorado. Sterling is loved by outdoor enthusiasts for its recreational activities on the river, including fishing, rafting, and tubing. Unlike the mountainous geography most people think of when Colorado comes to mind, Sterling is located in the plains and has a geography that is similar to neighboring Kansas and Nebraska. This makes it a popular spot for locals and visitors because of its excellent camping, hiking and other outdoor activities.
Outdoor explorers and nature lovers will also enjoy Sterling’s scenic hiking trails. The Pawnee Pioneer Trails offer historic byways that reveal its past as a settlement for trappers who lived alongside the region’s Pawnee inhabitants. The South Platte River Trail is known for its breathtaking scenery and is a favorite for cyclists and explorers by foot.
A Colorado treasure, Sterling is a great location for families who prefer a heartland lifestyle to a western mountain way of life. With good schools and a thriving economic structure supported by the local government, it is an ideal location for young families and entrepreneurs to put down roots.
Ready to pack your fishing pole and start a life in Sterling? Contact Exodus Moving & Storage, the preferred Sterling Colorado movers. Our Sterling Colorado moving company will work with you from start to finish, taking care of all the details to make your move easy and stress-free!
This Fresh Place Friday brings us to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Steamboat Springs had its beginnings as a summertime resort in the 1900’s. The town originally got its name from 1860’s French fur trappers who thought the hot springs near the Yampa River sounded like a steamboat. Speaking of natural hot springs, did you know there are over 150 different hot springs in the Steamboat Springs area? Over time Steamboat Springs became more known for its winter activities and is home to the oldest ski resort in continual use in Colorado (Howelsen Hill) which opened in 1915. In fact, the town has been home to more U.S. winter Olympic athletes since 1932 than any other U.S. town.
If you are looking to do more than ski or snowboard, the Steamboat Springs area has much to offer. From championship golfing to horseback riding in the summer and Strawberry Hot Springs relaxing to ice climbing in the winter – there is so much to do in Steamboat Springs. You can even take helicopter sightseeing rides and hot air balloon trips in the summer months.
If you are looking to move to or from the Steamboat Springs area, let the Colorado moving company at Exodus Moving & Storage help. From storage solutions, boxes/supplies and moving services, Exodus Moving & Storage has you covered.
