Home Is Where My Story Begins

Organizing My Painting Supplies

Oh, will you just look at this mess!!!

 

I couldn’t even get to my painting supplies. Once I moved the kids’ bikes and scooters out of the way I had to rummage through layers of paint cans, stored as low as possible on the very bottom shelf of my husband’s workbench.

Once we had the new shed built, I had my eye on this area.

 

After moving everything “yard and garden” out to the new garden shed, there was actually enough space for a shelf. We have a three car garage so we SHOULD be able to park 2 cars and still have room for storage. The problem is the bikes and scooters. (Last summer I got rid of my 5 – yes five- strollers!) We have 5 kids’ bikes, 3 adult bikes, and 6 scooters. I always have a house full of kids so we have plenty to go around. With the garden tools out and the bikes moved into the extra space, I dug out an old cedar shelf I had. It fit perfectly into the a little nook against the wall. Ta da!!!

 

I can finally find any paint color I’m looking for!

    Oh my goodness if you think your garage is bad you certainly will never want to enter mine! Ha! Still waiting for my paint spot. The garage is the last place to get some loving after moving in a year ago. Hopefully this fall.

    I didn't know anyone could make storing paint look cute, but you did. I need to work on my garage once it's a little cooler out. Thanks for joining We're Organized Wednesday.
