After all of the summer outdoor play and constant on the go family fun our garage looks pretty messy. Sports balls, jump ropes, sprinklers, coolers, and bicycles seem to be gathering in a pile on the concrete floor mixed with gardening supplies and tools. Can you relate? Fall (and Winter) are just around the corner, so our family needed to set aside time to get our garage cleaned up! We did it and here’s How You Can Get Your Garage Organized in 1 Weekend too!

One of the biggest problems I think people have is not taking advantage of the space in their garage. No matter how big or small your garage is, available wall space is often overlooked.

When we were at The Home Depot this past weekend and we came across the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Garage Organization System. This simple, customized system is a great way to clean up your garage and finally free up space so you can get prepared and organized for the upcoming months.

No more tripping over tools, toys and chairs and here in Western New York, that means being able to pull my car into the garage so I don’t have to get up early to scrape off ice and snow! Sounds good, right?!

To get started on your clean up, you’ll need to purchase Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Garage Hang Rails. These heavy steel construction rails are the base of this system and works with standard 16″ or 24″ stud spacing. It’s available in a 48 inch ($9.97) or 84 inch ($15.77) size. Installation can be done in a matter of minutes and each of your rails holds up to 1,750 lbs.!

After installing the rail or rails with the matching FastTrack® Garage Hardware Pack, and the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Wall Panel with the Wall Hardware Pack, my favorite part about this system is choosing the accessories you’ll need.

Everyone’s organization needs are different, so it’s nice to have a wide variety of accessories available that easily attach to your rail so you can create your very own, customized garage storage system. It can also change as your storage needs change!

I was really excited about this Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Vertical Bike Hook. Not only do my kiddos think that this is the coolest new way to store their bikes, but we won’t be accidentally knocking them over when they are parked. They are up and off the floor and I just love it!

We also added the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Wall Peg (4pk), the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Tool Cradle, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Tool Tray, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Tool Rack, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Tool Loop (2pk), the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Utility Hook, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Utility Bin, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® 2-Handle Hooks, and the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Cooler Hook to complete our system.

With a minimal budget, our family was able to get our garage organized in only 1 weekend with the help of this system and we couldn’t be happier!

If you want to get “Back on Track” and use your garage for what it was originally intended for, check out the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Garage Organization System on your next trip to The Home Depot!

Back in July I shared my Living Room Library Bookcase with you. It was a new piece of furniture that I received from Sauder and it really helped me bring a little style and organization to my busy living room.

When I buy a piece of furniture, I always make sure that I will be able to use it in multiple ways. It has to be versatile and work with our growing children and space.

Today I am sharing some fun ways that I have used my Sauder Bookcase in my home! I don’t know about you, but I am always moving things around and redecorating things. If you’ve got a great piece of furniture at home, then I bet you can come up with some really creative ways to use it too!

With the Holidays and colder weather right around the corner, I know we will be spending a lot of time gathering in the kitchen, warming our hands around a hot cup of coffee or tea. Sometimes my kitchen counters get crowded, so I decided that I could use my bookcase as a little coffee bar.

Since my bookcase has adjustable shelving, fitting my Keurig and a plate of fresh muffins fit onto one of the shelves with no problem! The drawer held tea and hot chocolate nicely as well. Since I now had an extra cupboard available, I decided to store my Kitchen Aid Mixer and my blender below to free up my counters even more.

Because Fall is my favorite time of year, I couldn’t help but display a pumpkin and some colorful leaves on this shelf! This cute little coffee nook adds a cozy and welcoming feel to our kitchen and allows our family and guests to have easy access to their favorite warm drinks any time of day.

Another great way I can use this shelf, is in my daughter’s bedroom. My 2 girls love American Girl and we have quite the collection! There are days that the girls get their dolls out and play all day. The only problem is that it can be a little messy.

This bookcase was the perfect solution to our doll mess! We displayed their favorite dolls (that they change from time to time) on the shelves which was nice because they were put away neat and tidy. It also looked nice when you walked into the room and they were easily accessible.  The lowest shelf was used to display the play set they were most recently playing with. I know it’s only October, but my girls are really into their Holiday Gingerbread Set! They can play with it right on the shelf and it almost creates a room for the dolls like a dollhouse.

We used the drawer for some of their shoes, mini dolls and other accessories.  The bottom cupboard was used for extra clothing, games and of course the doll’s horse!

I truly love this bookshelf because no matter what space I put it in, it provides a beautiful look and most importantly some organization.
