Ultimate Garage Makeover

Mission: Organization : Episode MSO-802 -- More Projects »
Avid outdoorsman Matt Smith loves his new Denver home, but he has never gotten around to making good use of his three-car garage. Originally intended to be the ultimate guy's hangout, this 30 x 40-foot space is instead overrun with sports equipment, mountains of camping gear and general clutter.

Professional organizer Kirsten Stein steps in to lend her organizational know-how and make this space fun as well as functional. Find out how she did it below.
