Welcome to our garage!!! Eeerrrr wait the garage?!? Yep, our garage… our next One Room Challenge. This is our second challenge we’ll be participating in. If you didn’t already catch it last fall, we did the one room challenge for the very first time and we showcased our master bedroom. Really enjoyed the process because it keeps my feet to the fire, so to say, to focus on one room and get it done in a timely manner.
What is the One Room Challenge?
One Room challenge™ is a bi-annual event and currently in its eighteenth season. Many different design influencers participate in order to makeover one room over the course of 6 weeks (they’ve extended to 8 weeks this time) and share their process. You can check out the event and other participants here.
Why the Garage?!?
I really wanted to focus on our garage. I know it’s a little out there it’s not the first thing you go to when you think of like let me make over a room because for one especially even with the master bedroom hardly anyone ever sees those rooms when they come over.
Same with the garage no one goes in your garage for the most part and they are never showcased in real estate properties when you’re buying and selling a house.
It’s just kind of like an overlooked room of your home because they mostly look like this- a hodgepodge mess galore.
For us and our current situation we have a lot of projects to do, and I want to do a lot of DIY and in order to do that I need a great space where I can really work.
Who are the Curious Lees?
For those of you who don’t know us Curious Lees- my husband and myself, we created this space online to showcase a few different things of our life. We host cooking experiences where we showcase a place that we’ve traveled to before and we recreate a meal that inspires us from that place and showcasing the whole trip. It’s a great way to capture our past memories but then also travel while we’re stuck at home. We also showcase all of the renovating we’ve been doing to our half-acre home in San Diego, California. It’s a 70’s build it’s got a lot of work needed. It was partially renovated from the previous owner, but the outside has not been touched. Lucky us! Haha
Wants & Needs
The main focus for the garage is to get all of our boxes of storage and fun outdoor items off of the floor and up into actual storage spaces. We really want to be able to utilize this garage as much as possible. We store a lot of items in here clearly, but we also want to be able to do things like projects and gardening, working out- putting our equipment down here will be lovely and maybe one day park our cars in here! I mean it’s kind of a crazy thing to say right!?! Who parks their car in the garage? We definitely don’t have space…for now.
Stay tuned for the next few videos, blog posts, and Instagram posts and stories. We’re going to transform this space. I’ll show you the whole design, what I have planned.
So, stick with me, take a minute, and subscribe over on our YouTube channel, because over the next 6-8 weeks I’m going to be posting a video of the progress of this whole space and its complete transformation. Thank you so much for watching and we’ll see you next time.
Cheers!
Chloe & Michael
