Multi-Functional Garage Space

Hey Gorgeous People! I'm excited to share the garage is up and running! While we're waiting on some delayed shipments, we still accomplished our goal in turning the garage into a usable pace that serves our dynamic, multi-faceted lifestyle.

P.S. Don't miss out on 10% off of shelving systems! Read below for details.

Let me walk you through the space and journey!

BEFORE

We needed the garage to include the following:

Storage for Holiday Decor
Crafting Station
Gym and Storage for Outdoor Gear
Storage for Event Essentials
Workstation and Storage for Home Improvement Items

Figuring out our needs and how we intended on using the garage was an essential step. It informed our plan regarding the design, layout, organization, and storage.

Paint Color

We changed the paint color to "City Loft" by Sherwin Williams (7631) matched in Behr paint. This helped brighten up the space and made it feel more open.

Paint Sprayer

We also painted the floors to cover the yucky oil stains and spills. The DRYLOK concrete floor paint is durable and works perfect in garages, basements, and patio areas. We should have done two coats instead of one.

Wire Shelving Systems and Accessories

Our partners at The Shelving Store helped us select shelving systems that supported our goal in using the garage as a multi-functional space. The features we love the most about the shelving systems and accessories:

Load Strength / Heavy duty
Adaptability
Versatility
Functionality
Durability

The shelves were easy to assemble and can be adjusted as our needs change down the line. From the flexibility in height to adding or removing shelves to integrating more accessories. We're not locked in. So in a year or two we won't have to purchase all new storage solutions. These will grow with us.

The Shelving Store is offering 10% off of your storage needs. Check out my personalized storefront to find the products we have in our space and for more incredible inspiration.

Additional Shelf & Workbench

We had previously purchased a shelving unit and workbench from at Home Depot and Amazon. These options are great if you're in need of temporary storage while you figure out the game plan for your space.

This is exactly why we purchased the items! We were in desperate need of storage to hold us over and didn't want to spend a lot of money until we had time to do proper research.
