Our garage had reached the point where it caused me stress every time I went in there. The disorder, dirt and cobwebs, not to mention not being able to find anything, made me want to scream.
The previous owners of our home used old kitchen cabinets and the puniest shelves for their storage needs. I have been gradually getting rid of both for years. They made the garage look even more rundown and they weren't functional for any of our stuff.
This past weekend I managed to cajole Tom into helping me get started on this project that has been nagging at me for years.

We have cinderblock walls in our garage, so mounting any wall systems or hooks is challenging. The walls were old and stained and covered with cobwebs and dust. Yuk!
We painted half of the garage. And put up two shelving units that we bought at The Container Store. Just painting made the space seem so much fresher and cleaner. And we also bought a few tubs for camping equipment and sports equipment. It's so nice having everything organized and stored and off the floor.
Those clean, freshly painted walls make me so happy. We used paint we had left over from a renovation project, so no cost!
Still to come is the workbench area (I use the term loosely; we are not workbench people). And more painting. And more disposing of stuff.
But looking at the part that is done is very motivating. Onward.
