How We {Finally} Got Our Garage Clutter Under Control

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Rubbermaid, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #FastTrack http://my-disclosur.es/RgFrEH”
Garage Organization with Rubbermaid Fast Track | Getting Our Garage Clutter Under ControlAt least once a year we’d clean out our garage. Not clean it, clean it. We did that more often. But clean it out. As in take out everything we owned, lay it out in the yard and put it all back in again. All in the hopes that, this time, we’d get it right.

Our yard and gardening tools all piled in one little corner and every time we needed one we knocked all the rest of them down trying to get to it. Sound familiar?

Garage Organization with Rubbermaid Fast Track | Getting Our Garage Clutter Under ControlSo when I found out about these handy dandy FastTrack garage organization systems by Rubbermaid at Target, I knew exactly what must be done about that unruly corner!

Garage Organization with Rubbermaid Fast Track | Getting Our Garage Clutter Under ControlInstallation was quick and easy. First, I found my studs (3 of the screws should be in studs for maximum weight capacity – one on each end and one in the middle), then I made sure it was level and marked my holes. I drilled holes for the studs and one in between each stud (wall anchors are included for these in the kit).

Garage Organization with Rubbermaid Fast Track | Getting Our Garage Clutter Under ControlWe used both multipurpose hooks (one per kit). I put two shovels and a metal rake on one.

I would have done it much sooner. I think I’ll add a few extra kits above my wood storage/work bench next.

If you’ve got some garage clutter to tame you’ll find these Rubbermaid FastTrack kits on sale at Target this week only (5/18 -5/24). Regularly 33.99 on sale for 28.89. You’ve put it off too long already. You’ll glad be glad you finally got it done. I know I was!

    Looks awesome. I have to do something about my garage mess also. Why do you have that gorgeous armoire in your garage? I love it?

      That armoire. Well it is gorgeous but it is also a mess. I work a lot in my garage so for now it holds my pretty work things. I keep entertaining the thought of fixing her up some day and I am taking good care of her, despite the fact that she’s in the garage. But for now she’s too unstable to move or do much with until she gets a complete overhaul and THAT will be a massive amount of work. For now, I like the fact that she prettys up my garage! 😉
