Which Christmas decoration storage is best?

When you dig into your garage, attic or closet to pull out your festive Christmas decorations, sometimes the most challenging part is finding where you put things. If you’re limited on space or don’t have an efficient way to store your decor, the process can be more frustrating than jolly, Heal Me Healthy.

What to know before you buy Christmas decoration storage

Material

Storage systems are available in plastic, canvas and cardboard. Likely, the item you choose will mix materials to provide both flexibility and durability. When you think about the tree trimmings you are planning to store, you’ll want something that will protect your precious heirloom ornaments and keep your glass items secure.

Structure

A sturdy storage carrier will have a framework that supports all of your accessories and keeps them upright. Putting things away in their own designated spaces reduces the likelihood of anything getting crushed or ruined. A container that has designated slots for individual items will keep them from rubbing together, helping glitter and adornments stay intact.

Versatility

When it comes to Christmas decorations, it’s not just ornaments that need to be stored. Lights, wall hangings and yard art will also need to be put away. The amount and type of items you have will determine which storage system works best to fit your needs.

There are designs with dividers and makeshift drawers that are optimal for ornaments. Some containers have additional compartments to accommodate other types of trimmings. You’ll want something that can hold all of your special items, season after season.

What to look for in Christmas decoration storage

Protective

If you are storing your decorations outside in a garage or shed, you’ll want to keep them in something that is weather-resistant through rain, snow, dust storms or summer heat. If you are storing them in your house, you’ll want to make sure the fabric is resistant to spills and animals. If there’s an unfortunate encounter with rodents indoors or outdoors, you’ll want to feel confident that they can’t get into the container and ruin your precious possessions.

Capacity

How much you have will determine the size of the storage system you need. Even though it may seem labor-intensive, count the number of ornaments you have. It’s easy to underestimate, and the last thing you want to do is select a storage box that can’t accommodate all of your things.

You’ll also want to take an inventory of your items’ sizes. If you have more small things, you might be able to double them up when putting them away. You also want to give yourself a bit of extra space, in case you get more items by the end of the season.

Easy to move

A container that will properly store your holiday decor will likely have handles. Because these items will be stored for a year, it’s not unusual for them to make their way to the back of a closet or the top of a shelf. You’ll want something that is easy to grab and convenient to carry. Be sure not to overfill it or place items in it that are too heavy, which will make it difficult to lift.

How much you can expect to spend on a Christmas decoration storage

The price can vary depending on the capacity allowance and size, but on average, expect to spend $16-$48.

Christmas decoration storage FAQ

What shape is best for Christmas decoration storage?

A. For the most part, Christmas decoration storage containers are square, rectangular or cubed. Any shape has the potential to work, but selecting a storage container in one of these shapes will fit better into most spaces and stack well.

Why do you need dedicated Christmas decoration storage instead of a standard storage box?

A. While any box could work, something designed for holding decorations will be superior. Christmas decoration storage boxes are designed with durability in mind so your keepsakes stay safe. Most have sections to keep items separate so that they are insulated from one another, instead of just simply being thrown loosely into a box.

Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan reveals he’s engaged after splitting from ex-wife last year

‘I’m thankful for a win… finally!’ Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan reveals he’s engaged after splitting from ex-wife last year

By Mark Mcgreal For Dailymail.Com

Zachery Ty Bryan’s first marriage didn’t work out, but he hasn’t given up on love yet.

The Home Improvement actor, 40, announced his engagement to his fiancée in an tongue-in-cheek Instagram post from last week, UsWeekly reported.

‘You win some and you lose some,’ he captioned the photo. I’m thankful for a win…finally!’

Moving on: Zachery Ty Bryan, 40, announced his engagement to his fiancée in an Instagram post from last week (pictured 2016)

Bryan’s engagement comes just over a year after he and his wife Carly Matros decided to end their 14-year-long marriage in September of last year.

They had three kids together, Taylor and Gemma, both 7, and 5-year-old Jordana.

After their separation, the Home Improvement star ran into a bit of legal trouble stemming from his next relationship.

One photo he posted showed the pair posing for the magazine 16 during the show’s run in the 1990s.

Real estate market will continue to move in ‘fast direction’ amid pent-up demand: Century 21 CEO

Century 21 President and CEO Michael Miedler argues the real estate market is still hot right now likely because ‘a lot of buyers are trying to rush in and beat any more increases in the mortgage rate.’

Century 21 President and CEO Michael Miedler argued on Monday that the real estate market is not “ready to taper right now” and will continue to move in a “fast direction” amid pent-up demand.

Miedler told “Mornings with Maria” that the market is still currently hot because “a lot of buyers are trying to rush in and beat any more increases in the mortgage rate.”

He made the comments on “Mornings with Maria” shortly before it was revealed that existing-home sales rose 0.8{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in October from the month before to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.34 million, marking two straight months of growth, according to the National Association of realtors.

The association also noted that the median existing-home sales price increased 13.1{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} compared to the same time last year to $353,900 and that inventory of unsold homes decreased 12{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} to 1.25 million, which is equivalent to nearly 2 and a half months of the monthly sales pace.

NAR’s chief economist Lawrence Yun said in a news release that Monday’s data proves that “home sales remain resilient, despite low inventory and increasing affordability challenges.”

Miedler agreed with that sentiment on Monday telling host Maria Bartiromo that he continues “to see the market moving in a very kind of fast direction as folks have a lot of pent-up demand in trying to buy homes here in this country.”

Macro Trends Advisors founding partner Mitch Roschelle says he expected existing home sales would ‘slow down’ amid ‘uneasiness in the market,’ however ‘the fact that interest rates could be going up is getting people to race to the goal line.’

Lawrence also noted in Monday’s news release that “inflationary pressures, such as fast-rising rents and increasing consumer prices, may have some prospective buyers seeking the protection of a fixed, consistent mortgage payment.”

Earlier this month it was revealed, U.S. consumer prices accelerated at the fastest annual pace in more than 30 years as supply chain bottlenecks and materials shortages persisted.

The consumer price index climbed 6.2{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year over year in October, the Labor Department said. The increase marked the largest annual gain since November 1990. Prices rose 0.9{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} month over month.

The cost of shelter ticked up 0.5{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} last month and was 3.5{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} above year-ago levels.

Miedler also pointed out on Monday that “on the building front, we are way behind.”

“From the downturn that happened in 2008 to where we are at now, we are at historic lows on where folks are building,” he told Bartiromo.

“Here is the truth of the matter; Between 2012 and 2021 there were close to 12 million new household formations and we only put 7 million homes built in this country so we have to double the pace in the next five years to catch up with the demand that’s out there,” he argued.

However, that may prove to be difficult if supply chain disruptions linger. Earlier this month, the National Association of Home Builders CEO Jerry Howard noted that those bottlenecks are creating unprecedented issues, telling “Varney & Co.” they are causing “unusual circumstances” as it pertains to new homes.

National Association of Home Builders CEO Jerry Howard describes how supply chain issues are affecting consumers who are building new homes.

Howard acknowledged that the issues are not impacting sentiment, but did stress that the “supply chain is still a headwind.”

He also told host Stuart Varney that “demand is so strong and the supply is so low” for new homes and argued if the supply chain can get “fixed” some “real good years” for the market are ahead.

Howard offered insight into the industry on the same day it was revealed homebuilder confidence rose in November as low inventories and strong buyer demand helped boost confidence despite the ongoing supply chain disruptions.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index this month rose three points to 83. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv were expecting homebuilder sentiment to hold at 80.

The index can range between 0 and 100 with any print over 50 indicating positive sentiment. Any reading above 80 signals strong demand.

Miedler told Bartiromo that currently “all the regions across the marketplace” are seeing an increase in new construction, but noted that there is “a hot market in the south” where there is “a little bit more building” taking place in cities including Raleigh and Wilmington, North Carolina as well as Jacksonville, Florida and parts of Texas.

Luxury real estate experts offer market insight

If there’s one thing the past year has taught us, Dallas-Fort Worth has far too many checks in the “pro” column for rising home prices to deter new residents.

“Real estate prices in Dallas are still surprisingly affordable, the job market is booming, cost of living is low and there’s amazing culture here,” said Allie Beth Allman & Associates real estate agent Emily Rogers. “All that combined with the fact that Texas has no state income tax makes it easy to understand why so many people and businesses are moving to Dallas.”

The agents with Allie Beth Allman & Associates say their connections and deep market knowledge have led to success in helping buyers and sellers in today’s unprecedented market. The agents have sold more homes priced at $2 million and above year to date than any other firm, according to Multiple Listing Service statistics.

In neighborhoods where the inventory of homes for sale is lagging behind demand, agents are getting creative when helping their clients find a home. For Jackie Converse, that means working closely with colleagues in her office, as well as those in other brokerages.

“Although inventory remains tight, it’s a great time to buy before sales tick up again,” she said.

In Highland Park, University Park and the adjacent pocket neighborhoods, record-low inventory continues to support a seller’s market, said agent Alexis Collard.

“Here in my neighborhood, we are still seeing record sales with multiple offers,” she said.

“One of my recent listings had multiple offers within the first 72 hours of being on the market.”

She reiterated that working with a well-connected agent who knows what’s coming to market and what’s being offered off market often is critical to finding a home.

In East Dallas, out-of-state buyers’ desire for new construction is fueling home sales, said agent Cliff Kessler.

“We feel this market will sustain its growth for a while, as there are still buyers ready to jump on the next active property,” he said. “Lots of renovations are taking place and land value has risen as well. What a great market to be a part of.”

Meanwhile, homes in Westlake and the neighboring communities in northeast Tarrant County are often under contract in a matter of hours or, at most, days.

“Westlake is still in an inventory shortage,” said neighborhood expert Susan Mathews, who is based in the luxury brokerage’s Southlake office. “Buyers relocating to the area are in search of amazing schools and golf course communities.”
