The Garage

A few weeks ago they changed our drawers at work. I packed up all of my papers, highlighters, and lotions;filed everything; and threw away the junk. I think it inspired me, because this past weekend we decided to tackle the garage.
Scattered life jackets with CO2 inserts

It had been a mishmashed pile of decorations, papers, and sailing gear. Between wind storms that knocked bins over, laundry baskets full of random tid-bits that I threw together when I moved, and sailing gear that had been thrown apart as we frantically grabbed cleaning supplies, the garage was a bit of a disaster. The breaking point was when we went into the garage to gather together the sailing stuff and take it to the lake. As I was walked out of the garage, I found a little visitor who had decided to come live in our space.

Our visitor - came to find out she had about 5 other friends too!
 
After we had our garage sprayed for spiders I decided it was the perfect time to get organized. I swept out all of the leaves (which I have been meaning to do since last fall), dust, and spiders. Branden brought in some shelves and I packed up our cabinet and moved everything into its spot. All that's left is to consolidate all of my craft supplies, go through one box of papers, and print out some matching labels so that everything has a more cohesive feel.


 
Can you spot: 1. Furniture to be moved into the house 2. Christmas decorations (including a tree and wreath) 3. Organized lifejackets and no other sailing gear (we eventually did get the box out to the boat) 4. The perfect space for a car!
