    1. I really liked the idea of open wall shelves, with labels in the cases. My dad wants to reorganize his garage because he is buying mom a new car. I will rent some tools so we can get some shelves mounted on the walls.

    2. Wow, I would have never thought about using pallets to organize storage spaces. I am in need of storing some things while I do an internship in a different state. I should find a unit that can help me organize my things.

    3. I really liked how organized things look on open wall shelves, with labels in tyhe bins. My dad has a mess in his garage, and I want to help him clean it. It would great to have some cabinets installed as well so he can put all his summer things away.

    4. Lots of great ideas! I absolutely love pegboard in the garage, it is so versatile and easy to change up if you don’t like the way you have it set up. We use our garage for most of our storage since our home is lacking, my favourite is our wraparound storage at the top of our garage out of the way. We might have to add some of those over the garage ones too, love that idea. Thanks for sharing these amazing tips!

    5. Thanks for the idea about installing baskets since my garage walls have slats. I think I’ll hire an installation company to build me a garage cabinet so I can utilize the space inside it. This way, I can get a workbench to work with.

    6. Thanks for helping me understand that we might be wasting space when we don’t use the ceilings. With that in mind, I will make sure that we will have storage space up there. It would be really useful since there are times when we can’t park the car in the garage due to the clutter and how small the garage is.

    7. We used to have tools just lying around ever since forever. This summer I saw a pegboard on sale so I finally bought one, put all my tools on it and our garage looks 2x bigger now 🙂 I will definitely try these tips as well, who knows, maybe I will even fit my car in there 🙂

    8. Recently, my brother moved into a new home. It has a wonderful garage, but he wants to make sure that it stays tidy to he can work on his car for fun. I have never thought to use jars to store your screws and nails. I’ll be sure to share this tip with my brother today.
