Ready to Finally Organize the Garage?
Hi ~ Mary here! If you’re using the Passionate Penny Pincher Home Planner, you probably noticed this week’s project is garage organization.
And if you’re anything like me… that can feel a little O-V-E-R-W-H-E-L-M-I-N-G. 🙈
But here’s the good news – if I can do this…you can do this!
How Did Our Garage Get This Way?
Somewhere along the way, our garage turned into the place for… well… everything.
- Extra parts from furniture projects? Throw it in the garage.
- Kids’ scooters from years ago? Garage.
- Coolers, yard decor, holiday bins, random tools? You guessed it… the garage.
After 14 years of “we’ll deal with it later,” it finally caught up with us. 😅
Our Plan to Declutter (Finally!)
This is the year we decided: WE. ARE. DOING. THIS. 💪
Here’s the simple game plan we used:
✔️ Toss what we don’t need (goodbye, 14-year-old paint 👋)
✔️ Donate or sell unused items
✔️ Create better systems for what we keep
✔️ Make the space more functional (especially for my hubby, who uses it most!)
Our Favorite Garage Storage Solution
Want an easy way to instantly create more space?
We recently spotted an overhead storage system at a friend’s house and immediately thought… why didn’t we do this sooner?!
So we grabbed this big Adjustable Height Overhead Garage Storage System from Lowe’s (and yes – it’s on sale right now! 🙌). You can even get a smaller version starting at ONLY $88!
👉 Our goal: move bulky, rarely-used items off the floor and up overhead
👉 Think: storage bins, seasonal decor, coolers, and more
Just note – these are sturdy and a bit heavy, so plan on having at least two people for installation.
Feeling Overwhelmed? Start Here.
If a full garage overhaul sounds like too much right now – that’s okay.
Start small. Do what you can. Take baby steps.
Even 15–20 minutes can make a huge difference:
✔️ Toss a bag of trash
✔️ Sweep the floor
✔️ Organize one small section
Progress is progress – and it adds up quickly!
(There’s just something so satisfying about checking that box in the Home Planner, right?!)
If you’re trying to create more space, these Overhead Garage Storage Systems are such a game-changer – and Lowe’s has several sizes to fit your space. (They start at just $88, which is affordable & doable!)
Are you tackling your garage, too? We’re cheering you on every step of the way! 💛
