I've been showing you the Garage overhaul, bit-by-bit, and today it's finally all complete! Well, maybe not complete-complete, but now it's my new happy place.
Once we upgraded our builder-basic garage door for only $15, things looked good on the outside, but behind those closed doors was a hot-mess.
We organized the Spraypaint, Tools, and new Shelves...all of which was a huge improvement, but I just couldn't stop there. I decided I wanted to have a little fun, and create a cheery spot to greet us everyday.
The white pegboard was just begging for some color, and more storage containers.
For small items like craft brushes and pencils, I wrapped a recycled soup can with coordinating washi tape, drilled a hole in the back, and hung it on a hook.
I switched up the labels on the shelves, and used more coordinating washi.
I also have labeled paint swatches for every room and project in the house, so they new hang from a cup hook screwed into the shelves, for quick reference.
How about this little corner of organized bliss?!?!
Oh that door, how I love thee!! I figured there's no harm in going color-crazy in the garage, right? Oh who am I kidding, the other side of this door is already pretty crazy (it's the Mudroom).
I created a small landing zone for things we need quick access to...like sunscreen, bug spray and a flashlight. There are also some fun hooks for things I don't necessarily want in the house yet...like sweaty hats and wet towels. My daughter loves this bag I made, and keeps it stocked with art supplies for long afternoons at the ballpark.
The old doormat was pretty sad, so I spraypainted stripes on it for new life. I may go back and add a monogram like this mat we made.
Thanks to this Monkey Bar system, even the scooters have a new home, away from my ankles! Along with 4 bats, a hitting stick, 8 full-size balls, a bike pump, and an extra hook for bags! (Don't forget, I'm giving one away here!)
It was a sweaty month getting all this done, but so very worth it!!!
