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!

All of this was affordable, and easy to arrange.  And the best news? My car has a new parking spot!

Miami Monday

I have today off (by off, I mean no OUT of home work). I have a home project to do, Garage reorganization. In this case I am going to call it garage transformation! I have a relationship with my garage, and like any relationship, it takes work… And sometimes fails. Today, I am tackling the leaning tower of wood shelves that recently have begun teetering forward with every moved container. Since I am a safety freak, I’m going to change them to a safer, more secure and dare I say…attractive garage system with the help of Garage Transformation & Organization (www.garagestoragemiami.com). 

After a morning of emptying the precarious shelving, and saying goodbye to many unnecessary and non functioning items (Goodbye Mr. Pumpkinhead…again…the last bulk trash day he was rescued by my children), I’m ready for a little coffee break!

My favorite gluten free breakfast when I’m in a hurry or just want a quick, delicious prepared meal is the Udi’s Gluten Free muffin. My fav item is lemon streusel, but after eating all 4 in one sitting, I no longer permit them in the house! So, blueberry it is! Love these muffins with a cappuccino!

Oh yes! Miami can make even a Monday look good!
