This is not our garage. I forgot to take a picture of it before we started - probably because of the shear embarrassment of it. While it wasn't this "bad" this summer, at times, this is exactly what it looked like. So you get the idea of why I "hated" working on this project every year.
But this year, this move, we've decided to put in some organization into the garage (insert "Hallelujah Chorus" here). And thanks to my brother who recommended a great handy man to help us, we are finally there - almost!
Welcome to our new garage! These photo's are OUR GARAGE.
 |
| Custom built storage shelves for all the "garage-y stuff" |
 |
| Overhead storage shelves above the garage doors to maximize dead space - LOVE! |
 |
| Sports equipment storage area for the clubs, bike gear, balls, bats, etc. Plus overhead shelves for ice chests/chairs and stuff. |
 |
| Tools on the wall - not original but original to us and very functional |
 |
| Best of all, this is all that is left on the floor. Small yard sale pile, bikes that will be on a wall mounted bike rack soon (on order) and my scooter which now has a place to park. |
What a great feeling to have both cars in the garage and plenty of room to walk around and actually find what you are looking for.
I love this handy man - if you are interested and live in the Tri-Cities area, send me a message and I'll pass on his info. He was so pleasant to work with and reasonably priced. Another amazing aspect of this guy was that he set up an idea board on Pinterest for us. Yes, can you believe a handyman uses PINTEREST? LOVE!
And....
The Icing on the Cake!
A special package I found in one of our boxes that is priceless. Here's a sneak peak - if you know my family, you will know immediately "who" this is from.
with love,
Tammy
