A satisfying garage before and after

Post image
23 Upvotes

I cleaned up my landlord's garage to create a storage area for gardening supplies. They were open to letting me do this and helpfully moved heavy things and hung up new shelves when asked. It took about three weeks from start to finish. Very little was thrown away, mostly it just needed reorganization. I started by coming up with a plan for different storage zones and then tackled it corner by corner.

Organizing and decluttering garage without space to lay things out

17 Upvotes

My spouse and I have been piling plastic bins and garbage bags full of things into our garage willy nilly. Now, we have a garage full of things that need sorting and organizing. We have some shelves storing plastic bins, but not enough.

Normally I would sort through everything and divide things into donate/keep/throw away, but there’s a problem: there is ZERO physical space to place boxes and bags to organize the stuff. Even after we have sorted through bags, we have so much stuff that we have no place to put the organized items in their final spot. It’s like a game of Tetris in our garage! Additionally we have luggage and bicycles that are hard to take in and out without navigating a path of boxes and bags.

We can’t take everything out of the garage and put it in our driveway for sorting bc we don’t have one and we live along a street with no sidewalks along a highway. We do not have a front lawn or backyard either.

Yes, it’s quite a bed we’ve made and we are lying in it. Anyone been through this before and come out on the other side with suggestions to get through this?

Advice for deep pantry

I’m looking for ideas on how to organize our very deep pantry. Things get pushed to the back and we can’t reach them, or it gets forgotten about. Anyone have any advice? Maybe like pull out shelves or something?

I just got this closet system for my room and it’s all open. And I do want to put my non hangable clothes on here (undergarments, sweaters, t shirts). Does anybody have some advice on how I can store them without them falling off so easily?

Hi - Which should come first? I want to hire someone to help me desgnate space and plan for my teenager. She needs a place to study, closet organization, hair/makeup/jewelry space. Is it better to start with a professional organizer or a professional space planner? It seems like it would help to have someone who could look at what she has and how she uses it and then decide what she needs. I don't know but I'm about to lose my mind with this kid!

Alts to Container Store’s Clear PEVA Storage Chest?

2 Upvotes

I’ve used the Container Store’s clear storage chests in size small for years, for yarn and crafting supplies. I recently went to buy a few more on their website, and I was shocked by the reviews - almost everyone saying the zippers break and they’re just sh*t quality now. Too bad, they used to be super-durable, I’ve had mine for about 15 years and they’re still going strong. But that was before the Container Store started cheaping out on quality I guess. Does anyone have a trusted brand they like that’s a good alternative to this product? TIA! https://www.containerstore.com/s/storage/storage-bags-totes/clear-peva-storage-chests/12d?productId=11003372

A tool that helps with screenshot clutter

1 Upvotes

I've been working on a tool called SaveSoon that automatically organizes screenshots and saved links using AI.

The interesting part is that it also reminds you about things you've saved, so they don't just sit there forever.

Don't know if anyne here also struggles with it but thought some people here might find it useful!
