Bridge Storage

The oak rocking chair was a gift from an old friend. I’d had it for at least twenty years. I never really had a place for it, so it sat in a corner of my office, more of a decoration than a chair. The hand-crafted room divider, once important for privacy, was now crammed behind some workout equipment.

Recently, I had a meeting in my office and needed an extra chair. When the rocker came to the rescue I realized how inappropriate it was for the purpose. I needed an office chair. Then it came to me in a flash…Bridge has a consignment store!

I could bring my rocking chair and room divider to Bridge and sell them to someone who might really need them, and with the cash find another chair that worked for my purposes.

Thanks Bridge.

Jeff here:  as I was thinking about how to get the word about bridge out to users of San Rafael, Larkspur, Corte Madera and Mill Valley storage places, I realized that all I had to do was to make this here blog post!  Through the magic of RSS and Google’s deep appreciation of new content on blogs, I could get the word out in a hurry.  The funny thing about marketing our family business on the web is that we might have thought we knew how to do it.  But when we get into the details of how to offer our very cool and groovy storage units, we find out what words people are typing into the search engines to find us.  Until now, I had thought that people were just searching for storage in Marin.  I focused all my efforts on marin storage.  You can see that all over this website if you poke around.  But at this point it really makes a lot more sense to finely tune my efforts to specific towns in Marin.  So, herewith:

It really is surprising how San Rafael is really right at the foot of the bridge. The fact is, you can get to Bridge Storage in about the same amount of time as it would take you to get to a storage in Mill Valley or Novato. And with our new offerings of art studios, upscale consignnment furniture and artworks, covered boat parking and rv parking, we have lots of reasons for you to cross the bridge. Oh – did I mention we would also pay your bridge toll?

Please come check us out!

Well okay, not all woes, but check this out…Did you know that Bridge has an incredible consignment section?

Have you been thinking about new chairs, tables, rugs, lamps, art,  or even dinnerware? Bridge has them, and at great prices.

Do you have gently used items you no longer want, need, or like? Sell them at Bridge.

Are you in a quandry about where to find some great gifts for friends or family? Bridge has some unusual and very cool pieces that just might fit the bill.

Think of it as a wonderful opportunity to exchange things of yours for either cash or other things you might not otherwise be able to afford.

Many of the unique pieces at Bridge were once the property of an established local home stager. Others come from people just like you who perhaps received a gift not to their liking, or replaced fine furniture with industrial grade pieces once children entered the family.

Consignment items are on display daily at our safe, pleasant site and always available online. With holidays right around the corner, extra cash and/or reasonably priced gifts might be a solution for you.

Art is everywhere. Well almost everywhere. Point Richmond alone has the Point Richmond Art Collective, the Arts of Point Richmond, Point Richmond Music and Masquers Playhouse…just to name a few.

And now artists, musicians and craftspeople are coming to Bridge Artspace for  safe, convenient studio, rehearsal and storage spaces. As Bridge continues transitioning into a premier studio space, we are hosting the Richmond Arts and Culture Commission (RACC) for the monthly Commission meeting.  // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ var _jsTime = new Date().getTime(); pwa.mapSetup('en_US'); pwa.loggerSetup('\x2Flh\x2Fajaxlog', ''); // ]]> // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ _stop("onload/prt/client\\JS parse/jsparse"); // Doubleclick global js var ord = window.ord || Math.floor(Math.random()*1E16); // ]]>

// < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ pwa.start(); // ]]>

We look forward to developing an ongoing relationship with the RACC, the local arts organizations and, of course, the artists. As more artists begin to use our studio spaces we’ll keep you updated on art receptions and other creative events.

Besides being involved in offering storage options to residents of the East Bay, Berkeley and Marin, Bridge Storage is also the Northern California home of Yard Butler tools, made by my brother Dan.  The same family (the Wright’s!) that built Bridge Storage also makes the finest Christmas Tree Stands available anywhere at any price. In fact, if you visit www.SantasLastStand.com, as a visitor to the Bridge website, we can offer free shipping anywhere in the lower 48.

While our space under the freeway will protect your items from the sun, we have found that with dust it’s another story.  To combat and further protect your stuff, we are now giving away free car covers for customers.

Bridge Self Storage announces the opening of their new consignment store in the Pt. Richmond, CA neighborhood! A Ribbon Cutting, and Awesome Sale will be held on July 12, 2009. Richmond, CA, July 12, 2009: Recognizing a need in the North and East Bay Areas for people to trade in and out of furniture and other large items, Bridge Self Storage located at 23 Maine Ave in Pt. Richmond, CA has opened Bridge Consignment Shoppe. Until now, people moving residence, remodeling, or upgrading furniture in their homes had few options for recovering the value of their items other than holding a garage sale or hoping for the best on Craigslist or EBay. For people in our area, this all changes with the opening of the Bridge Consignment Shoppe. With over 3,000 feet of showroom space (and more on the way!), the Shoppe has room to display your items in their best light, allowing them to receive their best price. Flexible storage and delivery options are other key offerings of the Bridge Consignment Shoppe that cannot be matched. The new store, located inside the front gates of Bridge Self Storage, has a variety of furniture, bric-a-brac and unique collectibles sure to trigger the imagination of many in our special corner of the world.    All are invited to join in celebrating the grand opening on July 12, 2009 from 11am to 4pm. Bridge Consignment Shoppe will be having a huge sale for the event and is looking forward to introducing their new facility to the neighborhood. This is the best place in the area to find rock bottom prices on beautiful and unique designer furniture. Enter the ceremony by parking outside the gates and entering through the office doors.
