If there’s something you’ll get to know about me, it’s that I hate being wasteful. Yes, some people might call me a bit of a hoarder, but I strongly feel that we shouldn’t throw things out unless we know that thing can’t serve a useful function anymore.

That being said, there are some things that are easy to store, while there are some things that will start take up a whole lot of space. Take, for example, old furniture. You might not want to throw away that piece of old furniture because it would be wasteful or it has sentimental value, but you also don’t know what to do with it. Until now…
