With Christmas so close, the wrapping paper starts coming out. Who does the work making these boxes with ribbons and bows look so beautiful? We asked our management team who gets wrapping detail at their home.  Read more

Making Halloween Crafts on a Budget

/in /by

I have a daughter in her early teaching years and I seem to find myself always looking for things she can make with her students on a budget. Here’s my adventure.

My plan this Halloween season was to find different ways to make ghosts. Pinterest is still new and scary for me, but after a little research, there are a few ghosts I think would go over well. They all look so easy when you see the finished project online but I already had my doubts as I began.

Sprucing Up Your Man Cave

/in /by

According to Wikipedia, A Man cave is “a male retreat or sanctuary in a home, such as a specially equipped garage, spare bedroom, media room, den, or basement”.

A man cave doesn’t have to bring thoughts of dark, smelly, t.v. watching, feet up types of space. Many men put such effort into their space, filling it with ideas that would make others drool. Read more

Holiday Storage Hacks

/in /by

It’s that time of year again when we are faced with the task of taking down the Christmas decorations. If you dealt with a tangle of lights and tinsel garland when you put up the Christmas tree read on and save yourself from this holiday headache next year.

Retail stores offer all kinds of Christmas storage devices that work wonderfully, but these also come with a hefty price. At the Storage Group we have dedicated some of our blogs to repurposing other items to get the same effect without the expense. Here are some of my decoration storage hacks.Wide Drawer Sterlite storage

An ornament storage chest is great for keeping your holiday gear organized. These specialized chests start at $105. For $18 you get the same level of organization from a wide drawer plastic organizer like those made by Sterlite. I have used this plastic drawer system for Christmas decorations for years. It’s light weight and its three drawers allow me to organize what goes on the tree first to last by drawer.

Halloween is coming! Here are six fun foods/decorations that you can create at home for your spooky night!

Use one vanilla pudding packet (for 9oz. cups) with green food coloring to tint, draw Frankenstein faces on your plastic cups and finish them off by crushing up Oreo cookies on top. The picture below used 4 packages of vanilla pudding; it makes about six 14 oz. cups.

WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM
CUSTOMERS WHO ARE HAPPY
WITH THEIR SELF-STORAGE
EXPERIENCE

The manager at Drayton Valley Storage, Ashley, is fantastic to deal with, is very friendly and goes the extra mile to be sure everything is just right for us. Mini pods are ideal for our special event storage. Pod was delivered to our event location right when we needed it and picked up upon our request. Can’t believe I used to store all this stuff in my office!!

This facility was a pleasure to do business with. The unit was clean, dry and easy accessible. The office staff were pleasant and informative. I would definitely recommend them and use again if necessary.

A huge shout out to Candice down at DV Storage! This girl is awesome! I wasn’t sure the size of unit needed & in telling her what I was storing she was able to set me up with the perfect size. She was very knowledgeable & patient in answering every one of my questions & even took the time to explain the app that I needed for the gate. If you are needing a storage unit she is the person to see. Thank you for doing such a fantastic job Candice.

As a tenant of Drayton Valley Storage, this is a wonderful facility with great staff. They offer a wide variety of units to suit anyone’s needs.

Well priced. Snow removal within 2 ft. of units. Friendly staff.

We have had the opportunity (and need) to use the portable storage services of Drayton Valley Storage twice in the past 3 years. The service has been prompt, efficient and courteous. We are grateful for their presence in our community.

My trailers been parked at DV Storage for about a year now. Super convenient parking, drive in ~ drive out. Candice is always super chill and friendly. Quick to answer questions. They keep the ground as clean and dry as possible. Very impressed with Drayton Valley Storage.
