GROWTH STORY
From garage chaos to three expansions in three years — how Anointed Creations became a real business at WareSpace
Anointed Creations at a glance:
Operating from garage and outdoor storage with no electricity; couldn't meet clients professionally; equipment exposed to weather; felt like a hobby, not a business
Climate-controlled warehouse with electricity, conference rooms for client consultations, all-inclusive pricing, and flexible unit upgrades as business grows
Three unit upgrades in three years; hired warehouse manager and employees on payroll; professional client consultations; networking within the WareSpace community
Aundreya Jones runs Anointed Creations — wedding planning, event planning, photography, balloon decor, everything that makes milestones memorable. Six years in business, but for most of that time, she was operating out of spaces that made her feel like a hobby, not a company. First a garage so cluttered no car could fit. Then an outdoor storage unit where she moved equipment through rain, heat, snow — no electricity, no climate control, no way to meet clients professionally.
Three years at WareSpace changed everything. Andrea started in a small unit, then upgraded twice as the business grew. Now she has a warehouse manager, employees on payroll with direct deposit, and a professional space where clients come for consultations. The conference room with a TV for presentations. The break room for team lunches. The loading docks and carts for moving event equipment. She went from hustling out of a storage unit to running a fully functioning business — and she’s still growing.
Before WareSpace Working Through the Weather
Working Through the Weather
Anointed Creations started in Aundreya’s garage. It was a mess — no car could fit, equipment everywhere, zero separation between home and business. When she outgrew that, she moved to a storage unit.
The storage facility had climate-controlled units, but the only ones available were outdoors. So Aundreya found herself moving event equipment — balloon supplies, photography gear, decorations — through whatever weather Texas threw at her. Rain. Heat. Snow. Every season meant suffering through the elements just to access her own inventory.
Worse, there was no electricity. No lights. No way to charge equipment or do any real work on-site. Every time the business grew, she had to sign a whole new lease, go through the whole moving process again. The storage unit was just a place to keep stuff — not a place to run a business.
Meeting clients? That happened somewhere else, if it happened at all. Aundreya couldn’t bring someone to an outdoor storage unit for a wedding consultation. The business felt like a hobby — something she did on the side, not a legitimate company.
She knew something had to change. The equipment needed protection. The business needed room to grow. And Aundreya needed a space that would let her operate like the real company she was building.
“We were getting rained on. We had an outdoor unit. We were actually moving all of our equipment in and out of the rain. No matter what the season was, we had to suffer the heat, the rain, the cold, the snow. I knew at that point I had to get Anointed Creations in a space where we could protect our equipment.”

Making the Switch Everything She Dreamed Of
Everything She Dreamed Of
Aundreya and her mom came to WareSpace after a lunch date, following up on an inquiry Aundreya had made so long ago she’d forgotten about it. She walked around expecting disappointment — these things never quite live up to the hope. But WareSpace was everything she’d been looking for.
Shelving already installed. Electricity. Climate control. A real indoor space. The prices were so affordable Aundreya almost couldn’t believe it was real. She and her mom prayed right there and knew: this is the space.
The electricity alone changed everything. For the first time, Aundreya could bring all her equipment, all her electronics, and actually operate on-site. But what made the biggest difference was the break room and conference room. Suddenly she could have clients come in for consultations. There was a TV for live presentations. She could operate as a business, not a hobby.
The all-inclusive pricing simplified everything. Internet, electricity, coffee, all the amenities — rolled into one price. No more juggling multiple bills. No surprises. And when she was ready to grow, she wouldn’t have to start over with a new lease. WareSpace offered in-house pricing for existing tenants, making expansion seamless.
The amenities went beyond basic needs. Loading docks and carts made moving event equipment effortless — critical for a business constantly hauling supplies to venues. Bathrooms. Break room with free coffee. Everything right there at her fingertips.
Where They Are Now A Living, Breathing Business
A Living, Breathing Business
Three years in, Aundreya is on her third unit at WareSpace. She started small, not expecting how much the business would expand. But the growth kept coming, and WareSpace made upgrading easy. The manager even told her there’s room for an even larger space when she’s ready.
The business transformation goes beyond square footage. Aundreya now has a warehouse manager. She has employees on payroll — real payroll, with clocking in, hour tracking, and direct deposit. Her team can work independently because they have access to the space. They know where everything is. Operations run smoothly even when Aundreya isn’t there.
The space doubles as an office. Aundreya does data entry while her team works. She takes client consultations in the conference room. She doesn’t have to work from home anymore — she has a real place of business.
The community surprised her. Other business owners have become neighbors she networks with in the break room. WareSpace hosts breakfasts and events that bring everyone together. Aundreya has gained clients from other tenants. She’s found vendors she needs to keep her business operating. Recently, the manager connected her with the corporate office to provide balloon decor for a grand opening — the kind of opportunity that only happens when you’re part of a community.
“Most of all, the break room has allowed me the opportunity to be able to have my clients come in for consultations and operate as a business and not a hobby.”

What They Love Room to Grow Without Starting Over
Room to Grow Without Starting Over
For Aundreya, WareSpace solved the fundamental problem that had held her back: she finally had a place that could grow with her instead of against her.
The flexible leasing meant no more signing new contracts every time the business expanded. She moved from a small unit to a mid-sized unit to her current space, all with in-house pricing that rewarded loyalty rather than penalizing growth. The opportunity to keep expanding — the manager has already shown her larger units for when she’s ready — means she’ll never outgrow WareSpace.
The professional amenities transformed how clients see her business. Conference room consultations with TV presentations. A real address, a real space, a real company. The leap from storage unit to WareSpace was the leap from hobby to business.
The all-inclusive pricing eliminated financial complexity. One bill covers everything — electricity, internet, amenities. No more juggling. No more surprises. That simplicity matters when you’re trying to grow.
The community created unexpected opportunities. Networking with other tenants. Referrals from the manager. Vendor relationships that keep operations running. Being part of something bigger than just a rental agreement.
As Aundreya puts it: WareSpace helped her grow as a business and become who she wanted to be — and she’s looking forward to who she’ll become next.
