Garage Organization & GIVEAWAY!!

Now, who doesn’t love a little garage organization??  I have been working on getting my shop revamped for the last few months.  I am slowly tackling every nook and cranny to make the most out of the space and use every inch 🙂  One of my latest projects to tackle was upgrading from the pegboard system I have been using as tool storage, to the Rubbermaid FastTrack system!  Can we talk about how much I LOVE this system??  Check out how I set it up!

Rubbermaid Garage Organization

This is my wall of tools that don’t get used as often… Minus the radio!  I love how I can hang my radio and it’s perfectly in reach all the time!

Garage Storage Idea

And the hanging baskets are perfect for holding my bagged tools and shop towels.  I also keep my Clorox wipes in there for when I spill stain and paint… Which happens fairly often 😉

Garage Wall Storage

This system has been a lifesaver.  No more stinkin’ silver pegboard hooks falling on the ground!  Game changer.  It was crazy easy to install too.

Everything runs on a rail system.  Each rail is a silver metal piece that is covered by a black plastic piece that slides over it.  The first step is attaching the silver rail to the wall.  I found and marked the studs in my wall, and then used my impact driver to drill 2.5″ screws into the studs.  A drill works perfectly for this part too!  I used my level on this part as well to make sure each rail was straight.

After attaching the silver piece, you just slide on the black plastic piece right over it.

Installing Rubbermaid FastTrack

Then, each attachment just clicks onto the rail.  SIMPLE.  AWESOME.

And, the attachments easily slide on the rails making it super easy to customize.  I love it.  Check out the rest of the space!

Garage Tool Organization

Love how these little hooks hold my jigsaws and sander…

 And remember my lumber storage rack I built?  I was using the pegboard system on the back to hold my drills and other tools I use on nearly every project.  Not anymore!

Even simple things like organization of……well, EVERYTHING! I would use the fast track system in my garage and basement to organize all of my tools and paint supplies. I have been trying to figure out a system to use and this looks perfect!

    This website and all your ideas and knowledge has been a lifesaver in my new home. I have built 3 of your projects to date and you have even inspired me to build a gate for my deck without using your plans! I can’t believe how addicting it is and considering how much furniture I still need I am sure there will be many more projects in the future!

    Thank you again. You ladies ROCK!

  2. I would totally organize my husband’s hockey gear… That is the stuff *most* in need of organizing and air-ing out!

  3. Exactly what you show here as our gardening tools are all clumped together in a standing “pile” against a wall

  4. I would use the Fast Track system to organize my new garage the right way! We are building a house and I would love to put the entire system throughout my garage. My lawn and sporting equipment and tools would not know what to do with themselves! Thanks for the giveaway!

  5. I would like to use the Rubbermaid FastTrack system to our new soon to be house. My boyfriend claims that the garage needs to be organized and setup prior to starting the inside the house projects. Although I agree the garage needs to be organized with all of the tools I want something quick and something that will help him stay organized.

  8. first off let me say that because of your wonderful website and my amazing husband who will just about do anything for my girls and I, are house has gone from so dull, to this beautiful pottery barn inspired chic home! if I won this Rubbermaid fast track system I would save it for Christmas to give to my hubby so his work space that he spends so much time at now could be more organized. I have little by little started to help here and there with our projects and I have to honestly tell you its because your website and you girls are so inspiring! My 8 yr old daughter told me yesterday.” mom your getting pretty good at this stuff like dad” that makes me proud and with this fast track system we can all help out on these projects because our work area will be nice and tidy!

  9. I would use the FastTrack system to organize my yard tools. Right now they are hard to get to and using this system would make them so much more accessible!

  10. I would definitely use the FastTrack to organize outdoor tools and gadgets in my Wood-Tex shed! 😉

  11. Thanks ladies..oh, where to start – indeed! 🙂 My hubby spent the summer building a shed, turned mini-barn..that is waiting for an organizational system- this would be GRAND!! {squeal}

  12. My garage is like a Tetris puzzle…I would absolutely be over the moon to get started with a system like this…It would be incredible to have a home for our tools and building materials!

  13. It would be decision but the most likely thing I’d use the FastTrack system for is organizing kids things (stroller, scooter, skateboard). If not that, then garden tools.
