Where to put all my stuff in my garage?

When organizing any space and especially your garage, the main need is to figure out where to put all your stuff?  I find it best to arrange and assign each item an area that it will be stored.  In a garage more then area other area of your home there is more acceptable room to go up the wall instead of hiding your items behind a closet door.  Adding shelving or garage cabinets gives your garage extra storage square footage that you can not get inside in a bedroom or family room. 

Inserting a few hooks and tool racks along with your storage cabinets will clear up your garage floor and give it back to your car.  Tool racks can store your shovels, brooms and racks so you don't trip on them anymore, the hooks can hold bikes, umbrellas, lawn chairs, out of your way till you need to use the items.

For smaller items the best thing to do is put them in a drawer or a wall cabinet. Separating the items by category and use time. The more you are going to use something the better it is to store it at eye level.
