The Mister and I moved into our house on Valentine's Day 2009. When we moved, many things were just put into the garage, and then we would go out and get boxes/unpack etc. WE NEVER FINISHED! Then we got married, and our generous family gifted us many new things. Our old things went into the garage. When my mom passed away, I inherited quite a bit of stuff from my child hood. Guess where it is? The garage. I have taken things to Goodwill before, but I have never just taken care of the disaster that is the garage. I am hoping that this little link up will give me the motivation that I need to get my butt into gear, and get the garage emptied and organized.
I can't believe I am about to show you these pictures. But I like to keep things real around here. Here is what my garage looks like today.
That is embarrassing. It looks like I belong on Hoarders or something. (there is no poop in bags. I promise you that) I hate opening my garage door when my neighbors are outside and now I am showing all of you the disaster that is my garage. We could play a fun little game of I Spy.
So there you have it. That's what I am starting with, but I am hoping that in 6 weeks I will be able to hold a Zumba class in there. Or at least park my car in the garage.
How have you been doing on your goals for the new year?

That's a great goal! Is it weird that when I look at those pictures, I get excited and just want to come organize for you? I love to organize, and in fact my garage could use a good cleaning out! Can't wait to see how you do!
AW that's not THAT bad! I mean it's a lot of stuff, but it looks like real stuff - not like JUNK, like they have on Hoarders. If anybody gives you the side eye just tell 'em you're prepping for a garage sale. ;)
It's only "bad" if you think of it in terms that you can't park in there. As for a storage space...not bad at all! :) I'm about I'm doing ok with my resolutions so far...for the most part. Good luck with your clean up!
Oh that's not bad at all!!! You can do it. :)
Our garage is also a disaster because my husband is always working on some project or another. The *only* reason I can even park in there is because it's a 3 car garage. That's right. We can proudly fit ONE car into our 3 car garage.
Good luck!
Awesome goal. Totally doable. Your garage looks NOTHING like hoarders, btw. You don't have piles of garbage, half eaten pizzas, 20 cats, etc. Much better, but I understand how you feel. Our garage has about half that much stuff and I wish I would take the time to de-clutter it. Someday.
I'm not doing as well on my eating and exercising as I'd like, so I am kicking that up next week and really focusing on that.
My husband's office is a problem child area. Good luck with your garage!
