Phase 1a

Phase 1a completed. Garage cabinets installed.

We bit the bullet and finally bought the garage cabinets that we've been eying this last year from We're Organized here in Folsom (they have locations throughout the West Coast).

We chose gray for the cabinets, and they are black trimmed. They look awesome! We got a sweet deal because they were having a sale and we saved a whole bundle. If you're looking at these cabinets for your own use, I would DEFINITELY wait for a sale.

Everyone from the sales rep, garage designer, and installers were all really nice. If the time comes and we need more storage, I would absolutely get more from them. (Plus then everything would match.) 100% satisfied!

1) These two cabinets are for Chris' car stuff and our non-garden related tools, and other stuff.







2) This workbench is my garden area. I haven't had a chance to really "unpack" and put stuff in it, but I have the day off tomorrow, and boy will it be on!






3) Jake the wonderdog checking out the cabinets to make sure they're safe. The running joke in our house because our dog is so serious is, "Do you guys have a permit for this?"






4) Aren't they beautiful?!







And the dog thing with Jake all stems from this joke:

How many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb?
German Shepherd: "I'll change it as soon as I lead these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation." (Click the link for more dog stereotypes...)


The cabinet install is phase 1a of the landscape redesign because I putter around in the garage so much that I needed a permanent garden station. Not just buckets to keep stuff in. That isn't really working anymore.

So another thing I get to do on my DAY OFF tomorrow!
