Zip lock bags are routinely washed and used again for food (or other) storage. Plastic bags are used as trash can liners, food carriers on trips, package stuffing for shipping and re-wrapping precious Christmas keepsakes for storage. We tear down big boxes and lay them on the garage floor in case of oil leaks. Miscellaneous.

We have accumulated a lot of stuff – lose screws, highly prized collectibles, everyday essentials, clothes that ‘might fit again someday’, tools, children’s artwork, food stuffs and more. Store computer paper next to the printer, store clothing in the room in which you dress. I carried this idea to our garage.

Create your own changing station by placing the cloth-covered changing pad on top of a dresser. When your child outgrows diapers you can continue using the dresser for her clothing. Buy a dated, smooth-gliding rocker at a garage sale for next to nothing and customize it with several yards of fabric and a staple gun.
