Breaking Free of the Normal Garage

Messes! Chaos! Have you ever wondered why dirty rooms aren’t fun to be in or why we don’t feel like hanging out in them? This overwhelming feeling seems to be our mental response to the clutter around us. Personally, I can’t stand it when things aren’t organized. That is why, when my family moved to Moscow again this fall, I decided that I was going to help turn our chaotic garage into a reading area. Not only would we get it organized, but I would be able to practice my newly aquired interior design skills.




What do you think this garage could become? ...To start off turning my garage into a reading room, I helped to unpack the towers of boxes that filled our garage. Once the boxes were unpacked, I started to organize books, toys, crafts, tools, and food storage. There is still more organizing to be done, but once this is done I will begin to decorate. Hopefully, I will be able to paint the garage door with chalkboard paint! I think this would be a fun place for my siblings to draw and be creative. Other than that, I won’t be able to change this room much because it is a rental, but I will be able to do a bit of dreaming as I re-create the garage on a concept board.
I can’t wait to come up with more ideas on how to make my garage a better place to be.
