I'm sorry to say that mine does...
Today, I've found some great ideas on pinterest to helps us out!
One of my main garage problems is lacking the correct equipment to store awkward items. And I refuse to spend a bunch of money to buy fancy box store organizers. I have several hoses that I need to store during the winter months. And big extension cords, too. Here's a great idea:
How easy and inexpensive! Ikea has several options for coat hooks for under $5. Pottery Barn has some for around $24. Your local hardware store has numerous styles price $5-$20.
You could buy vinyl covered swing set chain for around $24 or you can buy it by the foot at a store like Lowe's or Home Depot for around $1 per foot.
Such a simple project, but it can have a big impact on your garage organization!
My garage doesn't have a workbench and my husband has started enjoying small handyman projects around the house. I'd love for him to have his own work station. And for it to be portable would be a plus! We could pull it to the center of the garage when needed, move it into the drive way, etc...
As I mentioned earlier, Mr. Hasler has been bit by the handyman bug. And I love it! He decided to make a pegboard for our kitchen so that my cooking utensils can be close at hand and easy to grab while I'm cooking. He scoured the internet for ideas and plans and we headed to Home Depot with a gift card.
I LOVE IT!
We had our dimensions planned out and since we don't have a proper saw and saw horses to cut the pegboard ourselves, Home Depot did it for us!
Now we have 2 extra pieces that we can use in my craft room and in the laundry room!
There are tons of hook options. I had no idea!!
We spent about $40 for the entire project. And it was well worth it!
Here are some other ideas for pegboards:
I really like the containers for items like zip ties!
And how gorgeous is this one??
Love it :)
Did anyone else have parents or grandparents who hung a tennis ball from their garage ceiling so they'd know how far to pull their car into the garage? My grandfather did. And now I think I need one, too!
I hope some of these tips will help you out. I plan to put several into practice at my own house!
If you're thinking of listing your home this year, keep in mind that prospective buyers will tour your garage in addition to the interior of your home. How impressed would they be if your garage area was organized and well-planned?
