"This is a perfectly good box of tissues." This is me!! 😂 My fiancee is always trying to clean and organize and I never want to throw anything away.

That garage transformation was AMAZING!!! Never knew a garage could look so nice!! Nice job!!🥰

The things I love about this series are that they use real items we've seen at Lowe's on a regular basis, they're usually budget friendly, and we learn how to integrate them into our space. Great job!

LOVE IT, Monica! I never would have thought to do a plaid pattern on the floor. That really elevates the style!

Where did the snowblower and generator go? The two large toy cars? The camping chairs? Did that all get “Relocated” to some other location to be hoarded?

I wasn't too sure about the black paint, but I love how the space came together.

This series should never end. Monica does Lowe’s proud!

Monica when are you going to have your own full blown show? These videos are too short! Haha I want more ideas from you. ❤😊🎉 this was freaking fabulous

Really nice project overall. I also recommend the Gladiator and Rubbermaid wall track stuff - highly versatile and sturdy. If I would do one thing differently (this is coming from a lineage of craftsman and painters lol) I would treat the garage like any other room in the house and smooth out and patch drywall joints, nail/screw pops, dents, etc. and put 2 good coats of highly durable Flat/Matte paint such as Benjamin Moore Scuff-X (or Valspar equivalent if there is such). Be cognizant of the climate you live in as well; if there are long seasons of humidity you want a paint that can inhibit the growth of mold and mildew.

What a beautiful and great transformation! 😍 I would’ve liked to know more or less the total amount spent in the entire project. 🙌

This is amazing! My garage has rolling chrome carts with tons of stuff on them. Each cart has a "topic"...DIY, Tools, Car Things, Dad's work items, but it still can be seen and can appear a bit messy still. I am loving the closed storage idea, matching bins, and covering the floor with tiles (plaid is a favorite). I may have to re-organize again to introduce some of these elements for visual eye candy. I never would have thought to put wallpaper on a garage wall, but now love this idea to set off a "drop zone" for shoes and jackets. Keep them coming Monica!!!

Only Monica could make you jealous of someone’s garage!

[damnpam]

That garage looks huge now. I'm so glad Monica was able to put a little style and storage in there. Great job!

[irmayorke]

I have never seen such a beautiful garage. Such function in every corner. Wonderful!!

I saw the folding lawn chairs at the beginning and watched to the end to see if there was a new way to store them. They never were seen again so I assume they went in the tall white cabinet. I have 6 and just have them on a large shelf that would normally house large containers. I have seen others use barrels or similar containers but I don't want to take up floor space. I am thinking about getting a length of 8" PVC pipe and cutting four inch sections. Screwing 3 to the wall, then machine screwing two to those and one to those, then horizontally almost the length of the chairs repeating that. Then I could put in the base section of the chair in one end and the top in the other across, so I could easily access 5 at any time and the middle/center back spot would be for a duplicate of other chairs so it wouldn't be a bother if I only needed a couple and wouldn't have to take out several to access that one. Just wish I had time to get to that area of the garage to do it. It would be a super long comment to go into how clogged the rest of the garage is with other family members stuff.

Those floor tiles are AMAZING!! Great job as always Monica!!❤❤

[cyndij]

So many great ideas. Love the flooring and the cabinets that hang from a track.

[paulandwendy]

The plaid pattern on the floor is genius!!

[yvonneschermerhorn]

Such a tidy and organized garage, but also pretty & welcoming. I am so jealous! 😂

[أم.هريره]

Wow! It's incredible transformation. I love it 😍
