Garage update {Part 2}

Last week I shared the first part of my garage update. I have a few more pieces to share today, and even a few more for later this week! This project really took me forever...

 

I had a lot of extra space inside the new tool bench, and I needed some organized storage. I decided to buy shoe storage bins with snap on lids from Target. They keep the dust out and are easy to see through.

I made some chalkboard labels for the front of them. Yes, in the shape of my logo. Does this make me really perfect or a few steps past obsessed? (That's a rhetorical question.)

I built a fancy new workbench from this Ana White plan. It only cost about $25 bucks to build and it was done (and fancy painted!) in a few hours.

I added an extra screw for my sawdust brush and some extra 2x4 boards on the bottom for a wider shelf. The top is just a chunk of 3/4" plywood. 

And who wants a boring workbench? Not this lady! I used painter's tape to tape off a fun chevron pattern and painted it a few different colors of teal.

I put casting wheels on the bottom of the workbench so I can easily move it around my garage. I got the idea from my table saw that's on wheels. I loved how easy it was to rearrange my area based on the project I'm working on. It really helps when you have limited space!

I even whipped up a matching (chevron) work apron from this Ana plan too! I found the fabric at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. It makes it so much easier to find my pencil, measuring tape and whatever else I need and spend half my time looking for.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll share the last piece of my garage update soon, I have a fancy miter saw cart to match my fancy workbench! If you missed the first piece of my update you can find it here.
