You just quit your corporate job to finally pursue art. People have been batting an eyelash at you, thinking that you’re up to no good. They even think you’ve gone delusional when you said you’ve decided to leave Wall Street and do art full-time. They can’t fathom why you’re saying goodbye to a six-figure salary and deciding to do art, an industry that you don’t know how to navigate. They think you should have thought it through, not knowing that you’ve been contemplating it since you were a college freshman. You’ve been stuck in a career that you do not just like, but you also despise. You do not want to live trying to become richer every moment of your waking life. Even if the world runs around money, you don’t want your world to revolve around making money. When you learned about the dirty business that your company is involved in, it was the final straw. You couldn’t take it anymore and so you leave. Not exactly penniless because you’ve been saving up money since you started working five years ago. The silver lining in all of these is you can, at the very least, afford to enroll yourself in art school and learn the ins and outs of the industry. You can also afford materials to create art—ceramics, sculptures, painting, and more. And so, the changes begin. Around two weeks ago, you moved back to your parent’s house in New Jersey. You decided to start a shop in the garage but it hasn’t been cleaned for years now. You begin to declutter, asking your parents what you can sell, donate, and throw away. The items that were left are for you to organize so that you can maximize the storage capacity of your garage. One way to do that is to use smart storage solutions such as overhead storage racks and wall shelves. Here is a list of products you can choose from FlexiMounts:
GR SERIES CLASSIC OVERHEAD GARAGE STORAGE RACK
