Because I primarily work out of my garage (workshop), it’s often one of the first spaces I organize. Having a tidy garage makes my life (and work!) so much easier and more efficient. Today I’m sharing some of the best DIY garage organization project ideas.
When floor space is minimal, it’s a great idea to use the wall for storage. Using a pegboard not only organizes my tools, but puts them on display for easy access. Check out the link below for more DIY garage organization ideas.

I read about you in the June/July TexAppeal magazine and thought “how awesome is this to have someone with so much talent right in my own backyard!” I’ve been slowly (but surely) improving on my home in Nolanville and love your ideas. Now that I’ve seen what you did with the floating deck and pergola, I am more determined than ever to make an enclosed patio. You’ve just helped me see a much easier way to accomplish my goal (and probably less expensive, too!) Thanks for sharing your awesome ideas. I’ll see you at our favorite “toy” store (The Home Depot! ;-))
Jen says
Thanks so much for the kind words, Joni! Best of luck on your enclosed patio!

Do you love upcycling old junk into something new and beautiful? What is the favourite project that you have done?
Irene Trentham says
Those were a bunch of beautiful and efficient concepts you had listed for us, Jen.
Love the storage cabinet the most as you can just stuff the clutters in there. Looks easy and with the right paint, it’s definitely gonna add beauty to my garage space.
Bookmarked for future reference. Thank you for this list.
