Hello and Happy July! Hope you’re enjoying the summer. Our summer has been jam-packed and I have SO MUCH to share. In addition to trips and events, I have been doing a lot of organizing around the new house. If you aren’t following me in real time on Instagram or other social platforms, I wanted to start by sharing the progress in the garage. This space had to be one of the first on the list. Not only did I need to locate items to repair things around the house, but I also needed access to my tools and supplies for client projects.

We are renting this home so I knew I would be investing in storage items that can move with us again later and that it wouldn’t be wall-mounted…as much as I prefer wall-mounted storage.

I’m still working on the right side of the garage but the left and the back walls are totally organized. And I am so happy with the outcome!

Starting with the left wall, using 4 white Intermetro shelves from The Container Store, I organized extra bedding, home decor, organizing materials and more using these new zippered bags. These have become my newest obsession! They are super roomy, easy to transport to projects and when I’m done with the contents, which is frequent with our backstock, they fold completely flat…unlike a traditional bin that can’t fold down as small and can only be nested.

I’ve shared numerous stories and reels about the garage as the organization unfolded. In this video I’m sharing how I labeled everything on this wall…

For the back wall, I found these incredible stacking cabinets on wheels…

Whether you are renting or own, these are amazing and create instant storage in your garage. I’ll share more later this week, but I also added a couple in our under stairs closet. So useful in many spaces!

These set up in minutes and the cabinets keep everything dust-free. You can easily see inside through the plastic windows and these come in different sizes, widths, etc. In this video you can see just how easy they are to set up…

On the right side of the garage I have a small gym that’s almost done being set up and I’m working on organizing all of my tools and materials. Will share an update on this side when it’s done!

In other home update news I have organized our bathroom, my office, my closet and updated my daughter’s bedroom vanity table with this adorable 2-tier stand…

I’ll be sharing a lot more! Including another college move-in next month … bittersweet, of course.

Back soon with more organizing!
