Take a look, I welcome any thoughts you might have. Also, I wanted to tell you that you'll notice a golf cart tucked away next to the fridge. I bought it at Big Lots for the hubs last year. I painted a couple of pieces of scrap wood and added casters. It rolls easily out of the way to access the things behind it. <br /><br />http://martaonamission.blogspot.com/2013/10/storage-storage-everywhere.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142202752288119098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-50399663599999321972013-11-19T10:58:17.642-05:002013-11-19T10:58:17.642-05:00You need one of these all-in-one screwdrivers!

We use it for storage which my husband does a pretty good job of organizing. Now our basement could use a cleanout. I'm slowly working my way through it. It feels good to get rid of stuff, but with children it feels like for every one thing you throw away two more come in. Oh well. Just have to keep trying.Jennifer https://www.blogger.com/profile/00835749577272240496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-3267503338371969652013-11-19T08:59:21.488-05:002013-11-19T08:59:21.488-05:00Oh man, this is too funny.

My garage is a hideous disaster at all times, too, so I totally feel your pain. Unfortunately, we rent, so I can't hang much on the walls or build down from the ceiling (not to mention all the walls are cinder block...). But seriously, well done!

Oh what I would give for a cleaned up garage (it's such a thorn in my side, and I hate going out there right now because it makes my blood pressure rise!) I really live those über-tall shelves! Did you make them, or did you hire someone? So smart! The garage is on my to do list, but not until the fireplace is done!

Our garage has no extra room for anything besides the cars so I'm extremely jealous of all your space. My husband built the same storage shelf that hangs from the ceiling and that has helped. I check it regularly to make sure it's not loose and won't drop on the car. ;) I still can't get my monster of an SUV in because the space is just too small, but at least we have one in the garage!Jennifer@ClassicStyleHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266593067076004418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-21753584021043461472013-11-18T15:34:16.693-05:002013-11-18T15:34:16.693-05:00No way the cars can park in the garage!
