| There once was a house on a quiet street. It was a charming house with pretty garage doors. |
 |
| Nobody could imagine what lurked just beyond those doors! Q in scary theme music!;) |
 |
| EKKKKKK!!!! Believe it or not this was our garage. It had gotten so bad you could barely walk thru it and The Hubster was embarrassed every time we opened the doors. The Nana & The Papa came in town so we decided to take the challenge head on and get it all cleaned out. |
 |
| Reactions from the neighbors were quite humorous. One lady walked by just shaking her head and others stopped by thinking we were having a garage sale. It only took an hour to clear it all out which was not bad. In the end we had multiple moving boxes filled with trash as well as 6 trash cans loaded up and umpteen boxes for recycle. You literally would have thought we were Sanford & Son. |
 |
| This is what got kicked to the curb out of my project pile. The Nana laughed and said " Hey now that's a house we would pull over at and pick thru". So true but I HAD to let some of it go. I posted it on FB and a local lady who follows me came by and picked it up. She was thrilled and it made me happy to think that it made her happy. |
 |
| We got up and were out in the garage at 7 am before the100 degree heat set in. It would have been nice to have been able to wait till cooler weather but I had NO WHERE to work so it had to be done. |
 |
| It took us 6 hours from start to finish but well worth it in the end! I am in LOVE with our garage now. |
 |
| Here is where we would just pile all of my treasures waiting to be made over. There was no moving around here. |
 |
| This is what it looks like today. Plenty of room to paint and play! |
 |
| There are still a few things we need to do like hang some peg board so I can get all of my seasonal wreaths off the shelving. |
 |
| The important stuff is all complete though and now we can actually get our bikes in and out of the garage. It broke my heart every time the boys would ask to ride and I would have to tell them no. |
 |
| Now everything has a place! I am one happy mama, so please if you are a neighbor and catch glimpses of me dancing away out in the garage just ignore me and drive on by. I just can't resist doing a happy dance when I go out there!;) |
 |
| Before I go I need yall's opinion. I literally have had this radio cabinet for over two years. It has patiently waited for a make over and I have tossed about making it into a wine cabinet though we do not drink wine or making it pretty and using it in my sewing room for my fabric. The question remains on what to do with that space at the bottom. Any ideas? Thanx for stopping by and have a great day! I am off to do a little dancing!;) Linking up to the following link parties: Wow Us Wednesdays |
