A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about Organizing The Garage for the Fall. It’s the perfect time of year to do it. As I said before, I can’t imagine spending the winter hunting for that screw driver or drill bit in below zero weather in the mess of a place we had, so I decided to organize it…well as much as I could.
I wish I could put up a picture like this:

However, the reality is we have a working garage. We use it almost each and every day. We both do some woodworking, I do lots of painting, and really we always have a bunch of household DIY projects we are working on. The white paint in the garage would last about 2 seconds. Also, we have 5 acres of land, so we have a garden tractor, a large sprayer, and a bunch of other lawn equipment. As I would LOVE to say that the above pics are my garage, it’s not and never will be. Also, we don’t plan on staying in this house very long, so we probably won’t be investing in an epoxy floor (however in the new place we will!)

I found a very cleaver idea to label a container of bird seed (thanks to Pinterest). Also, the tight seal lid is great for keeping mice out of it…which I have already seen one in our garage!
I love my pegboards. They were easy to make and hold so many things!
I bought some heavy duty hooks and this peg board also acts as a coat & hat rack.
I picked up this storage shelf at a garage sale. I am using it as a shoe bench though. It is heavy duty enough to hold the weight of a person sitting on it to take off their shoes.
Moving over to the left, I purchased a metal toolbox I from K-Mart that was clearance down to just $99.
If you have a lot of nails in boxes, just leave them in there. Having the easy to read labels view-able makes it fast to pick out the right screw or nail you need.
Below the nails and screws is the stroller station.As I said before, I tried to put as many things off the ground as possible to make sweeping easier.
