I love what I do, and organizing anything, from a single drawer to a pantry to an entire house, is very satisfying. But my favorite room in the house is the garage. It can be so transformative, and the impact on a family is huge. So often, the garage \u2013 with its big open space \u2013 becomes a dumping zone for stuff that doesn\u2019t fit in the house, or is in transition (either going in or out), or it might belong in the garage, but with no organization system, it takes up space on the floor or a random shelf. Multiply each item by 10 or 50, and you have a space that isn\u2019t functional. And once you start piling up the stuff, it\u2019s hard to get on top of it. For busy parents, closing the door and letting it sit is the most effective solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there comes the point when the lack of organization or systems becomes a problem. That\u2019s where I come in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This summer, I worked with a family to turn their cluttered garage into a more functional and usable space. They didn\u2019t need the garage for parking their car but instead wanted to turn it into a home gym and a place for their two young children to do crafts after school. And because the garage was also their main storage space, we had to take advantage of all the shelves and overhead storage rack to free up floor space. Finally, I wanted to introduce systems so they could maintain the space. Here\u2019s a quick breakdown of how it worked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
