Moving Cheap

While thinking about moving cheap I came across an article about a company that sells boxes that can be used as moving boxes and then as a book case. If you have moved a lot then you can probably see the advantages to multipurpose things. Using your boxes this way after a move is so much better than breaking them down and storing them, or trashing your moving boxes and then spending money to buy more the next time you move. The bookcase looks pretty neat to. Go to “Shelf System Built from Boxes Makes Moving Easy” to see for yourself.

You might be thinking that I have lost my mind with these boxes since they are so expensive and you would probably need to order them from Europe. I would completely agree with you, these boxes are not for those of us that need inexpensive solutions to our problems.

I am only showing you that article so that you can start to get ideas. What else could be used in a similar way? I know many of us have used crates as book cases and moving boxes back in collage, and they do work well if you are a kid. If you are not going for the dorm look then finding neat wooden boxes from the craft store or maybe the flee market could work really well.

Of course we need to remember that these types of shelves could fall easily in an earthquake or if a child tries to climb them, so we must always keep safety in mind.
