Posting order in, dates set by someone else — how do you store around that? A posting order lands and the timeline shifts immediately. The quarter needs to be cleared, furniture needs somewhere to go, and the dates were set by the chain of command, not by you. If the serving member is already on […]
Moving abroad but not ready to sell everything you own? There is a particular kind of move abroad where you do not burn the boats. The contract is for two years, or the adventure has no fixed end date, and the last thing you want is to sell the sofa, the books and the things […]
Keep it, store it, or pass it on — how do you even decide? Leaving a home you have lived in for decades is not like moving house. It is more like editing a life, and nobody does that quickly or cleanly. The rooms are full of things that are also memories, and a completion […]
Gone paperless — but what about the box you’re not allowed to shred? Going paperless mostly works.

How do you protect original veneer from a passing plasterer’s elbow? A renovation is mostly small events. A plasterer’s elbow catching the corner of a wardrobe. An open window during a rain shower. A paint roller left too close to a chair. None of those things would matter much to flat-pack furniture. To a Georgian […]
When did the spare room stop being a spare room? There comes a point where the spare room stops being a spare room. The boxes get taller. The packing tape rolls multiply. Returns stack up in the hall. You stop inviting people round because explaining the situation feels easier than clearing the path to the […]
How big a unit do you actually need for a houseful of furniture? The trades are booked for Monday. The kitchen is coming out. Every room in the house has furniture stacked against the wall and no obvious place to go. You know you need to clear the space before anyone can start work properly, […]
