Garage Makeover Progress: Storage Solutions

This past weekend we made good headway with some of the storage solutions we're putting in our garage. Starting with buying three shelving units (pictured without the shelves installed yet). Each of the five shelves is rated to hold 800lbs, so even though we'll likely never need to hold that much, at least we know we've got really sturdy shelves to work with!

Since it seems like I'm ending up painting just about everything that goes into our garage makeover, I spray painted two of the three shelves, so they wouldn't blend into the grey wall color so much. The third, unpainted, shelving unit is just going in the workroom, which isn't painted (or even drywalled, for that matter), so I wasn't worried about it blending in.

Let me tell you, these used a lot more spray paint than I thought they would! Four cans of semi gloss just on the slim metal frames.

Notice one of our new wire basket light fixtures making an appearance. Love!
