Before I go on, let me pause to catch you up. If your new here, you can read all about the One Room Challenge here, and you can catch up on the first four weeks of the garage makeover in these posts:
We made trips to our storage unit and my mother-in-laws basement and started bring back all the stuff that we hauled out just a few weeks ago. And just like that the garage looks like a disaster again as I slowly start transferring things into the new storage. I will be so worth it a week from now, but right now, the mess is stressing me out because I have so many other projects on the to do list that I’m hoping to get to.
In good news, though, the drawers are working perfectly for all the things I envisioned would fit in them… like all of our car wash supplies.
In our continued effort to clear the floor of the garage once and for all, one of the major items on the to do list this week was hanging lots of things on the walls. Except that didn’t exactly go as planned. It turns out that just about every set of wall hooks and brackets we bought was the wrong size or didn’t work for one reason or another.
The pulley-system for our bikes will end up working out {I think} but need to hang the opposite direction of what we imagined, so we have to head back to the store for more hardware.
One piece of good news though, is that the new white walls and reflective floor make the light in the garage so much better than it used to be! It even turned out to be a great place to film a little organizing video tutorial.
Remember last week when I showed you a teaser photo of some cute storage containers that I was using to get our workbench organized in partnership with Creative Options {affiliate link}?
Well, now I can show you exactly what I was up to…
I wish I had more progress to show you this week… but it was just one of those weeks where life got in the way. First, we took lots time out to enjoy a weekend of Halloween activities and parties with the kids, which was so much more important and more fun than working on the garage…
Since I didn’t have as much progress to show you this week as I had hoped, I wanted to give you a glimpse at a few fun projects I’m hoping I’ll have time to squeeze in. I don’t want to share too many details {gotta keep that 10th inning suspense going}, but here are some sneak peeks of what I’ll be up to this week…
