Staging With Storage

This video demonstrates some creative ways to declutter your home before you put it up for sale, and to keep it clean while the house is on the market.

It shows how to use boxes to:

  • get the kids' stuff up off the floor
  • hide toys
  • use an ottoman to store toys inside
Small boxes can be easily stored in a closet.  Larger boxes can be decorated to match a room's decor, thus hiding toys in plain sight.  Enjoy the brief video below.
