We have a long table that we also found on Craigslist when we lived up North. It’s been a junk storage table, but now it will be storing camping gear below, and a few items above (until they can be sold in a yard sale). It’s a pretty wide table, so there is still plenty of room for working. It’s going to become the model making table, and the snack table, and the hang out table. Yesterday the King Fish took a break from renovating. He, Tiger Shark and Jabber Jaw all built model cars. When the King Fish was their age he was really into model car/plane building, so this was fun for him! (The boys too!) We have some folding chairs that they pulled up to the table, but I am thinking about getting these table height saddle bar stools. It’s the one splurge I’m considering for the garage. What do you think?

Here are some more photos of the initial garage/game room in progress. We hope to have it completed in the next month, and I’ll be sure to post before and after photos….. :-)

This began as a place to hang all their Nerf guns.

Ta Da! A little more organization… not quite there yet, but much improved.

The first of three Rubbermaid tool racks that we hung to organize everything. Previously everything hung on about 6 nails.

And how the wall looks now. It’s amazing how much stuff you can hang and get off the floor and out of the way. Check out those strollers hanging!
