Clutter’s Last Stand<\/a>. I read a few pages whenever my motivation starts to lag. His humorous style and funny anecdotes have always served as a shot in the arm for me whenever I have a big organizing project to do).<\/li>\n\nClear Out Clutter:<\/h3>\n
Sell or donate good stuff that you\u2019ll likely never use again. Others will be blessed by your surplus, and you will be blessed by the freed-up space. It\u2019s a win-win for everybody.<\/li>\n
\nStash Seasonal Items:<\/h3>\n
Move seldom-used stuff that merits keeping, like Christmas decorations or between-size clothing, out of the garage if at all possible. If it must stay, try storing it in uniform containers to keep the garage looking tidy. These need not be expensive — copy paper boxes work very well. I cover the front of mine (just the part that shows) with contact paper and hand-letter labels to let me know what\u2019s stored inside.<\/p>\n

\n<\/li>\n
\nGrab a Brush:<\/h3>\n
A fresh coat of paint will go a long way to making your garage look neat and clean, so once you\u2019ve dealt with the boxes, roll the walls with scrub-able latex enamel, but don\u2019t stop there. A good 2-part epoxy formulated especially for garage floors will cut down on dust and stains and will make it much easier to keep your garage looking clean and organized.<\/li>\n
\nPark the Bikes:<\/h3>\n
Bicycles are bulky, but need a place in the garage. If you only have a couple and use them infrequently, hang your bikes on the wall or from the ceiling. If you have a bunch of bikes and a bunch of kids who ride them often, buy a bike rack. My husband had a rack custom-welded to hold all 15 of ours, but you can buy smaller, ready-made racks that will hold six to eight. Ask at your local bike shop about ordering one.<\/p>\n

\n<\/li>\n
\nTidy the Tools:<\/h3>\n
Long garden tools like rakes and shovels can be hung on the wall. Buy a strip of clamps at a hardware store, or make your own holder by driving a row of heavy-duty finishing nails into a long piece of wood (a little spray paint will make it prettier), then threading laces through the handles of you tools to hang them by.<\/p>\n

\n<\/li>\n
\nSeparate Nuts and Bolts:<\/h3>\n
Use a small parts cabinet for nuts, bolts, nails & screws, extra batteries, washers, etc. (These are also handy for other rooms of your house: put one in the bathroom cabinet for organizing pony-tail holders, barrettes, make-up, nail polish, band-Aids, ointments, razor blades, dental floss, etc. I use a couple of them for sewing notions, too\u2014a different drawer for each color of button, as well as needles, bobbins, thread, elastic, etc. They are also good for storing office supplies: paper clips, rubber bands, staples, thumb tacks, stamps, labels, tape, etc.)<\/p>\n

\n<\/li>\n
\nAdd Some Shelving:<\/h3>\n
For small items, like shin-guards or tennis balls or garden spades, try storing on shelves in open-topped containers (like dishpans or clear shoe boxes). One thing that really helps me when organizing the garage is to label everything. That way, my kids (and husband) will know where it goes when they are finished using something. Invest in some adjustable shelving to make it even easier to get stuff out and put it back.<\/p>\n

\n<\/li>\n
\nLet It Drip Dry:<\/h3>\n
Suspend a long wooden dowel by chains from ceiling of garage for drying beach towels in summer, cotton clothing (on hangers) and bed linens all year long. This lets your things drip-dry without getting bleached by the sun, drenched by the rain, or soiled by the birds.<\/li>\n
\nHang Up the Coats:<\/h3>\n
Install a row of hooks near the door\u2014one for each family member\u2014to use for drying swimsuits in the summer or hanging jackets in the winter.<\/li>\n
\nRoll Out a Rug: <\/h3>\n
Use a large doormat outside back door. This will cut down on dirt that gets tracked into the house.<\/p>\n

<\/li>\n
\nLeave a Message:<\/h3>\n
Put a small dry erase board beside door for messages. Also put up a clip to store dry erase marker.<\/li>\n
\nLeave Shoes at the Door:<\/h3>\n
Institute \u201cNo shoes in the house\u201d rule. Make it easier to abide by the law by providing shelves, cubbies, or racks for shoes just outside back door, and train your family to use them. We\u2019ve labeled the shelves with the children\u2019s names, to make it even easier to keep them neat. The younger children rarely have more than 2-3 pair of shoes each \u2013 tennis shoes, sandals, and possibly dress shoes. Older girls might have a bigger collection, but are limited to what will fit on one shelf.<\/li>\n
\nCorral Dirty Clothes:<\/h3>\n
Provide laundry hampers by the back door (one for lights, one for darks, labeled accordingly) so dirty socks and work rags don\u2019t accumulate on the floor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Those are my best tips for organizing your garage. We’ve had tiny, cramped garages with low ceilings and poor lighting. We’ve also had big, bright garages with built-in cabinets and shelving. And we’ve had everything in between. The nice thing is, these tips work equally well at both ends of the spectrum. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
