Garage - Franklin

This client's 3-bay garage had plenty of storage space, but there was absolutely no system in place for storing belongings in an organized manner.  Exactly what was actually in the garage was also a mystery.  The scheduled resurfacing of the garage floor provided the client with the perfect opportunity to reorganize his garage. 
 
That's when the Garage-Guru came into the picture. 
Sorting.  Suggesting.  Building.   Moving.  Organizing.  The result?  
A spacious garage area with dedicated 'stations' - toys, trash, cleaning, auto-related, etc.

Bare stairwell.  Narrow shelf along stairwell wall causes objects to fall.

Long-handled tools hang within reach,
but out of the way, along the high wall.

Bicycle helmets hang neatly and unobtrusively
along inner stairwell, with easy access
for small children.
 
Attractive pine extension built into
stairway shelf to prevent falling objects.

A jumbled mess under the stairs.

Boot shelf added under the stairs.
 
Handy 'catch-all' containers
(mounted on the wall close to the stairs to the house)
to hold transition items and odds & ends.

Shelves at back of garage over-utilized and randomly arranged.

Portable shelf contents were sorted and
the contents reassigned. 
Built-in shelves were added above the
concrete section of the wall. 
An additional wooden rack was added
up high to handle future hanging tools.
Plenty of storage space now.

Another mish-mash of stuff.

Dedicated area for car maintenance projects.
Items clearly grouped and labeled
for easy and immediate access.

y2gar5beforegarage161.JPG

High shelves completely inaccessible,
not to mention being a dangerous
hazard for people walking by.

y2gar5beforegarage16.JPG

A haphazard collection of hooks on the wall adds to the state of disarray.

y2gar5aftergarage09.JPG

Accessible.  Neat.  Tidy.  Uncluttered.
Ample opportunity to add additional
tools and equipment, while still
staying organized.
