Happy Garage

When I was growing up, my parents always had a neat and clean two-car garage, where they parked BOTH vehicles.  They never made a big deal out of this, but being the organization-lover that I am, I noticed.  I also noticed when we would pass by houses with two-car garages packed full of stuff;  so full that only one car could park, or even no room for cars.  I always wondered why "those people" had so much stuff and couldn't clean it out to park their cars.

Well.....I married one of "those people"!  Here he is hard at work on one of his many projects, (probably something for ME). 
 

 
 
 
 
Where else is he supposed to work, he has no shop.
 
He does try to keep me happy by neatly stacking things to the side between projects, so that I can always park in the garage.  And he even built a wall full of shelves to please my need to organize.  Here is a picture of my "Pinspiration":
 

But he said that he was not "pinterested" in that, so here is what I got. 
 
 
To help me have a happy place in the garage, my sweet husband built a special nook for me.  I just painted it and finished organizing some of the kids shoes and soccer things.  I like to think of it as a sort of mud-room space in the garage.  I now feel so happy when I park in the garage and see this!

 
 
Every garage needs a happy place!
