Stairway to Heaven
Moving Story
Moving things into the apartment in the mall was not a casual affair. This video above shows one of the last phases every piece of furniture, decorative item and construction material would need to go through to get home. This metal ladder is extremely steep, rendering it ridiculous as a point of access to the 750 square foot space it leads to. The storage space that it comes from has never been used since the mall opened in 1999.
The journey to get to the storage space is another story in itself and by far the most tense. But, this video provides a small glimpse into the unorthodox travels all the apartment furniture needed to go through.
The advantage of things being so difficult, is that there was no half-hearted decorating using inferior furniture and very little clutter in the apartment. Every piece of furniture was purchased either at the mall or at a local furniture store and was the result of a firm decision about what we wanted to have around us - defining us.
