Today we experienced a job like no other! On a beautiful, sunny day, our clients met us at R.C. Mason Movers to gather on their loading dock and open five vaults that their sister had stored there more than 50 years!!! (We won't tell you how much she paid to store them. Let's just say it was a LOT.😬)

The vaults were chock full of treasures that she had inherited from their grandmother's home and never had a place for. With every one they cracked open, we waited with bated breath to see what was inside. They did not disappoint!

Our good friend Henry Jensen of Henry Jensen Antiques & Collectibles came by and bought lots of the smaller vintage goodies, we took photos of all of the furniture so we could send them to our consignment partners, and the family took home a handful of items that brought back warm memories of their grandmother.

The rest we donated. MISSION of DEEDS, Inc. was happy to take a sturdy dresser and some tables, lamps, and art. Other items went to Goodwill and Savers for someone else to discover and enjoy.

Thanks to the stellar crew at RC Mason for keeping the vaults coming and doing the heavy lifting. We look forward to working with you again!

If you have a storage unit you've been ignoring for too long, let's crack it open and see what's inside!

A good lesson in donating with dignity, from MISSION of DEEDS, Inc.

Our client had the unenviable task of preparing his sister's home for sale after she passed away. Beautiful home, beautiful belongings. So many emotions and decisions to be made. How did we honor and rehome her precious items?

* We connected our client with Tables To Teapots to consign a moving truck's worth of furniture, records, decor, kitchenware, books, tools, and more.
* We donated vanloads of items to Habitat ReStore Lawrence, Goodwill Mass, MISSION of DEEDS, Inc., and other organizations.
* We had Stairhopper Movers deliver furniture to our client's home in New Jersey.
* And finally, Highland Shredding took away laptops to be destroyed, furniture to be donated, and the last bits of trash to be properly disposed of.

Next, Silk Purse Design Group LLC / Home Staging will stage the home and Concierge Home Sales will put it on the market. And we cannot wait to see this jewel shine again.

It takes a village to clear out and sell a home, and we love our village!
