Homeowners Beth and Armando Garcia have a big garage. The problem is, it is a big mess! They won't even let their 5-year-old daughter go in there because it's so horribly disorganized. Every time they go to get her bike out it's a big job because they have to move everything around just to reach it. The space is so piled with stuff it takes Armando longer to get to his lawnmower out than it does to mow the lawn. Beth is terribly embarrassed by what used to be her beauty station. She hasn't been able to cut hair in here for years because it is such a mess, and she can't find any of her equipment.
Before: A Junk Drawer of a Room
The homeowners have been using their garage to store a mish-mash of stuff––lawn and garden items, kids toys, tools, beauty products and anything else they can't find a place for. Their dream is to make the garage neat and to have a place to put everything. They want the kids to be able to come in here and not get hurt. Beth wants to be able to bring family and friends in to get their hair done and not be embarrassed about the mess. Professional organizer Liz Witts just happens to have a flair for fixing overcrowded garages packed with stuff, and she sets her sites on doing the same for this space.For specific product information, click on the After(s) photos of the room.
