The garage is a best storage area in your home for items that are rarely used, i.e. season decorations, children’s baby momentum's or the tuba you played way back in high school. Although the garage is a large area it and quickly become a M-E-S-S! One box becomes two, then 10 and soon enough you cannot fit your car, let alone your bike inside! What to do, what to do…
Step 1. Organize your boxes! Go through your decorations, your knick knacks and decide what is worth keeping. Ask yourself, does this item have any meaning to you? If not, do you see yourself using it in the near future? If the answer is no to both, then it is time to toss! Check to see if the item is broken and if it if irreparable then you just cleared up another spot in your box!
Step 2. Color coordinating and Labels! I like to place my items in color coordinated boxes. Green for Christmas, red of spring and gray for misc. Also LABELS ARE KEY! Every box should be labeled. I like to chalkboard the front of my boxes so I can change the label as needed. It also help if you have the room to give a general count for the items inside.

Step 3. Place the boxes in order of their use. If the tuba is have-to-have keepsake, and of course the baby momentum's then place it in the far back of the attic. Followed by seasonal decorations, camping equipment, beach toys or additional crafting supplies.
