Organizing your Garage 08/08/2011
The GarageAre you avoiding your garage? It’s probably about a thousand degrees and it might even smell funny. I suggest that you spend the next few weeks thinking about your garage. As cooler weather sets in, it will be a perfect time to tackle this project! Ask these questions: What specifically is in there? Have these items been in there for years and might be perfect for a garage sale or for donation? What is in your garage that has been outgrown or forgotten that could be recycled or donated? (How old is that ski rope? Do you even own a boat?) Your garage is a space to protect you and your car and SOME of your belongings from extreme temperatures. You can really appreciate that right now, if you have a dark colored car! When it’s raining, your garage can provide a place to keep you dry while you haul in kids and groceries. During the short time of year when we get cold weather, we are grateful for the buffer from the wind. A clean, tidy garage is an extremely functional use of space. It can house a work bench for all those weekend projects, sports equipment for the kids, yard and pool equipment, decorations for the holidays and most importantly, your vehicles. Besides our homes, our vehicles are often some of the most expensive purchases we make! Let’s start treating these babies with some respect! A garage is often used as a storage space, but rarely used appropriately. Your garage is a perfect place to store items that are used seasonally. The idea is to store them UP and out of the way of everyday living and proper use of this space. D’Clutter Diva offers many organizational services, just one of which is reclaiming your garage space! We can remove the items in your garage, help you sort through them using the 3-R’s (Reduce - Re-use - Recycle), assist you in purchasing the best garage storage system for your needs, (or make use of what you already own) and functionally organize all of your kept items in a neat and easy to find manner by using bins, shelves, and mulit-functioning storage units, as needed. If you fear your garage, call us! We can reclaim your space and you can live like a Diva!
