GARAGE ORGANIZATION
Garage Organization and Storage is a common conundrum. We all have so many outdoor possessions these days that we end up using the garage as a catch all and the auto never sees the inside of it. Wouldn't it be great to be able to maneuver through the garage without tripping on stuff and actually park car or two.
If you want to dream a little, check out a garage 'man cave' designed by Ramsin Khachi at the National Home Show in 2011, built by Summerwood Products and featuring Ryobi products.
Two other unique elements include the small indoor putting green and garage doors that are actually windows, too. The flooring choice here is perfect for a space where you will be using tools, making a mess and bringing in winter muck.
Now most of us will not be creating a man cave in the garage so if you are interested in proper storage and organization check a couple of suppliers below. There are many more available on the market at a variety of price points so there is no excuse for a messy and unusable garage. With Spring just around the corner, this is the best time to think about cleaning out this valuable real estate in your home. You may even get the car(s) in.

How about a suspended game table?
How about covering doors with chalkboard paint to serve as a note board and reminders? Inside houses compost and recycling
No man cave should be without a mini fridge and snacks. Space for storing tires and bikes completes this space by Ransin Khachi

National Home Show, Part 1
As mentioned in an earlier post, I was on hand in the Homes Publishing Booth, representing Reno &Decor Magazine, by offering consultations to "Design Dilemmas" this past Tuesday. Met a lot of nice people and was able to help with their design issues. It is always exciting to get involved in design and decor projects and have the opportunity to see the projects people are planning. I never tire of it. There was even an outdoor dilemma and I love creating good design in outdoor spaces. I think the outside space is just another room in your home and it should flow as such.
Plan on attending the show to kick start your decorating and design projects and start thinking of any renovations you would like to undertake this year. We all like to freshen up our homes in spring and then think about entertaining during the summer months so head down to the show. You will be inspired by all there is to see and come away with some great ideas & advice as well as be knowledgeable about all of the newest products for both inside and outside your home. Many great experts will be on hand on both the IDEA Stage and the Main Stage. Don't forget to visit Canada Blooms for even more inspiration for your outdoor space.

This service is being offered throughout the home show and depending on when you plan to be there, you may even have the chance to meet the celebrity designers, like Glen Peloso, Evelyn Eshun, etc
While strolling through the show, I made my way to the Dream Home and the 4 spaces designed by local designers using furniture and accessories supplied by Urban Barn.
Below are the four designer spaces. Which do you like best?
