By the time we’re done, this garage will go from “Where’s the rake?” to “Wow, I forgot we had this much space.” It’ll be a usable, functional, dare-we-say enjoyable space again. Because behind every cluttered garage is a person who just needed a Saturday and a strategy—and maybe someone else to untangle the weed trimmer from the snowblower.

I’m not here to ruin the monkey bar magic or declare war on scooters—I’m just here to make sure you don’t have to climb over a camping stove to reach your bike helmet. With some smart zoning, creative vertical storage, and a little purging of what’s no longer useful, we can turn this obstacle course into an organized basecamp for all kinds of adventures.
