Decluttering for that Garage Sale

Posted by Lincoln Pointe Apartments on 11:03 AM



Do you know about a local garage sale in the area? It is time to declutter your apartment, and then you can take things to the sale. Apartment Therapy has some great advice on how to start decluttering your home.  They understand the challenge, and they want to make it as painless as possible. So, go ahead and get started, you will feel great after!


Where do you begin when it comes to cleaning out your home in preparation for finding stuff to sell at a garage sale? Well it turns out it's pretty similar to regularly decluttering your home; only after you've combed through drawers and closets, you'll be evaluating if there's anything you can make a little dough on.
This weekend, declutter, evaluate and set aside:

1. Declutter You're going to start looking for things to sell in a garage sale in the same way you would if you were aiming to declutter your house. This is about getting rid of the stuff you no longer need and seeing if you can make a bit of dough from it. Check out these posts on tips for decluttering, including methods for letting go of items that you might not need but are still attached to:
How To Declutter Your Home
Rethinking Your Space: How To Declutter and Edit a Room
5 Ways to Declutter: Conquer Clutter Before It Conquers You
Breaking Up With Your Belongings: Decluttering Tips for the Sentimentalist
5 Questions: Deciding to Keep or Purge
Decluttering Idea to Consider: Letting Go of Leftover Furniture

2. Evaluate

Next you want to evaluate from your pile of recently decluttered items what the best sellers are going to be. Items like furniture, garden tools, power tools, household items (like dishes), sporting equipment, bicycles, and children's clothes, books and toys tend to do really well at garage sales.
Are these the only things you should try selling if you decide to hold a garage sale? Of course not! Doesn't hurt to try something else, right? But it will help in thinking about marketing and laying your garage sale out to know what your best sellers might be. While you're going through your stuff, also consider setting aside any items you might want to just give away for free — this is a common tactic to pulling in folks to your garage sale.
3. Set aside

Find a place in your home you can set aside your items for the sale. Those in tiny homes just might not be able to find a big enough place, but it you've got the room, distancing yourself from the items will help make it easier to see them go on sale day. And if you want to get ahead, organize your items by category so pricing is easier.

A few more things to think about:

Valuable, unwanted items should be sold somewhere else
As someone pointed out in the comments of the last garage sale post, you aren't going to get a ton of what you paid for a piece at a garage sale, where folks are often looking for a deal. Valuable items you find around the house you no longer have a need for might be served better with online sales.

Check for recalls
Especially with children's toys, you might want to research the product online to see if it's been a part of any consumer safety recalls, so you don't end up selling unsafe products to anyone.

5 Tips to Keep Your Apartment Organized

Posted by Lincoln Pointe Apartments on 9:53 AM

Do you always have a messy apartment?  It is ok we have all been there.  Here are some great ways to keep your apartment clean throughout the week.  Keep reading and learn more here.



1. Make your bed as soon as you get up. As soon as I get out of bed, I make the bed. I feel like my room is extremely messy if the bed is. After all, the bed is usually the focal point of the bedroom; people tend to notice if that’s neat versus your vanity being kept up.




2. Unload your clean dishes from the dishwasher in the morning and make it a rule that if somebody uses a dish they are to load it into the dishwasher. If you don’t let dishes pile up, you won’t have a mess after dinner. And when the dishwasher is full, you can run it.

3. Clean up all spills immediately. That means on counter tops, on the stove, and on the floor when you are cooking. This will eliminate the hard scrubbing from food deposits sticking to the surfaces.

4. Make it a habit to take your shoes off at the front door when you come home. I have a shoe rack by the door for myself and guests to put their shoes. Doing this will keep dirt from being tracked in onto your floors or carpet, which will help them look beautiful longer! Remember, you want that security deposit back! J

5. Another thing people will notice when they come to your house is clutter. Make sure you have a spot for everything. When mail comes into the apartment, go through it immediately and throw away unnecessary items. Then, place your bills or other ‘keep’ items in their spot to go through when needed.
