Seriously! I must have gone up and down stairs a hundred times! That was the only way our garage was going to go from this...
To this...
We literally moved our garage to the basement!
So, instead of doing the recap of the awesome/amazing blogging conference I just went to, I've been carrying "our junk" up and down stairs. When we are done with our garage, this "junk" will be so super organized, it is going to amaze you!!
In case you truly cannot see the work we've done, I'm going to share a few more photos. That way you'll see the whole scope of what was involved. :)
I'm dripping with sarcasm here, ha! It's pretty obvious, how bad it was. Ugh!!
Besides, before and afters are so much fun!
Here's a few before's of the back wall...
And Ta Da!!!
Empty!
I labeled where we are thinking of putting some cabinets, which will be hubby's work area. That makeshift workbench is going to be torn apart.
I cleaned this area up too!
That wall going into the house is also cleared. I was thinking of putting cabinets on that wall, but I think I like it cleared for a walking path to the door.
This is so exciting!
Hubs and I were talking about how once the garage is completed it will make the rest of the projects we want to do for the house so much easier!
It's so true, I'm already feeling calmer seeing it all cleared out.
We are ready to start mudding next.
Then the joyful time of sanding, NOT! I can't wait til that part is complete! Painting I don't mind.
So, I'll be sharing the progress as we go.
I've got sooo many projects in the works, it's a little overwhelming.... But, I will be vigilant and I will finish them!
For now, I'm going to give my quads a break. :)
Talk to you soon!!
Blessings,
That was a lot of work,Lori! No wonder you are feeling it. It is going to be great when you are done ... eye on the prize. :D
ReplyDeleteHey, Mary! I'm so glad that part of it is done! You are so right! Just keep my eye on the prize! Wonderful words of wisdom. Thank you!

Lori, I have garage envy! Due to my husband's tendency to buy every tool know to man, I'm afraid to even walk into our garage. He keeps saying he's going to clean it out. Still waiting. I think I'll have to do what you did, get out there and work my tail off. You did a great job! I can't wait to see the finished results.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Sallie, it seems the more space you have the more you try to cram in there... At least for us... Thanks, I can't wait to see the finished results too! So good spending time with you at Haven!

Hey, Lori! It was great meeting you at Haven last week! I can't believe it's been a week already *sob sob*. Anyhow, I had to comment because I am just about to start a garage project, too. Yours looks like a dream come true compared to mine, which is literally running over with old furniture that needs to be painted. LOL. Yours is gorgeous with those windows, too! Good luck getting everything done! I'll be following along :)
ReplyDeleteHi Serena! Time sure does fly by! It was so much fun meeting you and gettin our groove on :) Awww, thanks about our garage, I'm just believing it's going to make all our other projects easier to do! Thanks for stopping by!
