Where’s the Car? In the GARAGE!

I always wanted a house with a 2 car garage…. But the idea of parking one car, let alone 2 has always seemed preposterous! With no basements in Miami, my garage had become the mainstay of my storage system. The whole garage, the entirety of it, was cluttered with containers and boxes, toys and crafts, all spilling over in a complete mess. Over the last year, I have cleaned, contained, organized, sorted, donated and disposed of garage items until finally reaching the point where I thought, with a system of organization, perhaps I could use my garage for its intended purpose.

A lucky silent auction purchase at a fundraising gala introduced me to Garage Transformation & Organization, LLC. www.garagestoragemiami.com

They quickly came and installed a “Monkey Bar” system that spans 4′ and was able to organize all of our bikes as well as store 4-6 large containers on the top.

The next step was to find unused space. The team at GTO suggested overhead storage. This storage solution allows streamlined overhead storage and frees up much needed floor space.

Finally, the teetering , unstable, wood shelving was tackled, replacing it with a combination of free standing commercial grade wire metal shelving (Sandusky), a MonkeyBar unit, and a set of 36″ drop down shelves. The result is clean, streamlined, organized storage, with more than enough room for the cars!
