Optimize Your Garage Storage With These 9 Simple Upgrades
Your garage is more than just a home for your car. Odds are it's also a hub for lawn and garden equipment, DIY tools, seasonal decorations, athletic gear, camping equipment, and all those miscellaneous items that don't quite fit anywhere else. Long story short: Storage in the garage can get tricky.
To avoid your garage turning into a cluttered catch-all (with no room for your car), make use of some of those tools to take your storage situation to the next level with a few simple upgrades — all of which you can grab from Walmart.
