After finishing the bulk of this project, the tool and material area, I powered through to finish the next part of the garage.
You will notice I have not painted this side of the garage yet. It has a few shelves nailed into the wall that I'd like to remove, but they are going to be quite the trick to get down. Anyhow, we have our moving boxes resting against the wall and 2 tall shelving units in this area.
The shelving units are from Lowes, hold hundreds of pounds, very affordable, and my most favorite thing after the peg board. When I assembled them I made sure to space out the shelves so that any of our tubs could fit on each shelf. They take a messy space and make it feel very clean!
One unit holds our luggage, camping and sports gear. It also has our coolers on it.
The white baskets are from the Sterilite "Ultra" line of baskets. I really really like them!!
The second shelf holds outdoor toys.
1 - lawn chairs
2 - beach towels, beach bags, picnic basket
3 - outdoor toys (sandbox and water table pails) along with a basket of sunscreen and bug spray
4 - more outdoor toys
5 - a picnic blanket and a wagon.
Things are not stuffed to the brim, which is good. For instance, in the winter we will need to move his water table and outdoor pillows into the garage.
I have a friend who uses a shelf unit in her garage to rotate toys in and out of her house for her kiddos. I think that is a great idea too. There are so many great ways to organize a home and make it more functional and peaceful for your family. In the few weeks since our garage has been completed I have noticed a difference in how easy it is to get to what we need. I really like being able to start little projects without having to wait for D to get the tool for me. And, having towels and sunscreen all in one place by the car, it makes packing to go to splash pads that much easier.
This post concludes the tour of our garage!
I am still working on the laundry and office space. I hope to get them done in the next few weeks.
Have a great weekend!
