Having a clean and organized house is one thing. Having a clean and organized garage is another. And I know how you much you all just want to be able to give some order inside the garage. The garage is almost always the place we dump stuff  when we just aren’t sure what to do with it…and it can get pretty crowded fast. A garage needs some order or before you know, you’re going to have to park the car outside!

We don’t currently have a garage but at the farm we had a barn and a bunch of side buildings — which was a nightmare when it comes to organizing. Even though the previous owner left quite a few shelves for us, many of them were loaded down with old junk to begin with, so it actually took us several years to really getting things organized at the farm — and then we move to Berlin. 😉
