Designing Storage for Your New Garage
Garages are not just for cars anymore. Today, these spaces have many functions and are now places where your family will live, work, and play.
 Before you move go through your garage and edit what you don't use, love, or treasure. Pack up what you are keeping by categories. This will make your unpacking so much easier. Keep a list of the different areas/activities you need in the new space making it easier to "zone" the garage.
 Garages can be as stylish and extravagant as you like. Choose finishes and materials as you do inside the house. When Get It Together LA! designs storage spaces we ask clients what they want to do in the space and plan for possible future needs.
 If the budget does not allow custom designs shelves can be purchased from home stores to keep your things off the floor. Label containers to make so finding what you need, when you need it.

Get Ready for Your Move
 Before the furniture and boxes arrive measure the rooms in the new home and prepare floor plans. Thoroughly clean the home before moving in. There will be no better time to shampoo carpets and wax floors than while your house is empty. This is also the time to line cabinets and shelves. Now that the windows are washed, floors are clean, and the kitchen scrubbed you are ready for the fun.
Designate a place to put the boxes and packing paper before unpacking begins. Cover carpeted floors with protection film before the truck is unloaded. This will protect the areas just cleaned. Take time to carry boxes to the designated rooms before unpacking begins.
Unpack as many items as space allows before putting things away. The goal is to get the boxes out of the way. As boxes are emptied, break them down and get them to designated area, most likely the garage or patio. Also, open ALL wrapping paper. The smallest items might be inside what you think is just "filler".
Unpack your "hot boxes" first. Then you are sure to have bedding, towels, and toiletry essentials for your first night. As with any organizing project, delegate tasks to family members and play music to break the monotony of unpacking. Before you know it, you have a beautiful new home.
