That pegboard and table area is exactly what I needed to see!

[@jmyler]

The catch behind the back and then a one handed catch on the next one. Just that scene locked in Monica’s credibility for me.

[@wcshef1971]

She had to be ball player...

[@markLikesSports]

That was impressive!

[@atozmomma]

I don't even have a garage. I just love watching anything Monica does. She is so relatable and knowledgeable.

[@wendysong9048]

Monica Mangin is a genius and everything she does is creative, to the point, and very inspiring. Keep up the great work Monica!

[@kellypruitt2362]

Love any video with Monica. Bring back the weekender please.

[@VitorMadeira]

Excellent video. We need more ideas and tips on how to organize working and storage space. Thank you and greetings from the Algarve.

[@liberaltears1714]

Did you see those catches? That lady is gonna raise winners!

[@EmbraceMaking]

Ha! Yeah I was actually impressed with the reaction on her and that behind the back save. lol

[@tonyreyesdds]

I was really impressed with that part! Made her knowledge of garage storage more credible for some reason hahaha

[@wcshef1971]

She's a baller!

[@717790]

I started removing any clutter from my side walls which allowed me to put more distance between both of my vehicles for getting in and out. Really helps! Especially when you have a small garage.

[@ngoctramhuynh4398]

I wish i could have a big bathroom, same size as the size of my garage.

[@yabookprincess]

ahhh I MISSED MONICA SO MUCH! I keep rewatching the videos with her in it! Big fan

[@rn1005018]

This was just fantastic! Great job! Please bring Monica back for the Weekender!

[@BudgetGirl]

The christmas lights being so unorganized and tangled made my heart hurt. :-) This was amazing! Love monica

[@karenrich9092]

I agree about the Christmas lights. They should be neatly rolled around some heavy cardboard or on a big spool like my outdoor lights.

[@christiancallejas4712]

I love how Monica makes everything better and so easy....

[@lavanyavijayaraghavan3120]

No garage, no car, no bike... watching only for Monica!! 👏👏

[@DebiCoffey]

Best of ALL the garage organizing videos I've seen.

[@chanman201]

Beautiful. This is probably over 10,000 worth of storage equipment and tools.

[@namoodesignstudiollc3994]

The tool workbench area is my favorite. And the gardening section as well is nicely put together.

[@tokouatonga7914]

Forget everything, that catch was amazing 😉

[@mariateresitasimon]

Im sure the wall track system for my garden tools & the wall mounted peg board for my husbands tools will make a great impact in our everyday life.Thank you and more power to your channel.

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

We converted our simple utility shelf by removing the second shelf creating an alcove that we peg boarded. Now we have open storage above, below and hanging storage inside the alcove on all three sides. It works well. You have a lot of wonderful creative ideas. The garage you made over looks amazing. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@SamAndTiffFickel]

That catch behind the back followed by an immediate one handed catch sealed the deal. I'm going to Lowes now

[@shelleynobleart]

Great video. I'll watch Monica tackle any subject.

[@JuanTorres-jo5cx]

Nice Work, Never watched the weekender; but a show I would watch if it was on again. I need to organize my garage, gave me heartburn thinking about it.

[@SahanRavinder]

My respect for Monica went through the roof at 8:04 !!! She’s got skillz boy!!!

[@IraTopp]

Definitely a soccer or basketball player! 8:14

[@arnoldjohnson3317]

Great video on how to organize a storage room. Now you need a garage!

[@charlie6411]

Garage is cleaner than most rooms in my house (which isn't hard). Love how the drill and other tools perfectly clean, mine have paint and other crap on them from using them. Yes I realise this is due to advertising but it does give the feel of "this is how you setup a garage if you never intend on using it"

[@Bryang80]

That's great organisation but where am I going to park my 2 cars now? I like to park my cars in the garage

[@Superman-xr1oh]

@@XploreAz Even with it all organized, no way a big suv or truck is fitting in that garage with all that stuff.

[@XploreAz]

@@Superman-xr1oh true. My truck doesn’t fit in my garage when it’s completely empty.

[@RicardoHernandez-zr1pw]

Park them in the garage and build a separate storage shed 😂

[@LITTLEROCK2517]

Yo

[@Andrico77]

Ok. Leave everything cluttered then. If that will allow to park your 2 cars. Duh

[@ef_danielsan]

at 8:16 that was an impressive recovery and a one handed catch at the same time!

[@zachwesley9506]

My thoughts exactly. That moment I was like damn good reaction speed. Lol. Not an easy catch at all.

[@jsaaiman]

These videos are awesome

[@slimshawsy]

Was just looking for tips to tidy up my garage. So glad I found a video that showed me how to spend 5k to do it. Thanks very much. 👍

[@timemachineeddie1146]

Paper towel roll hangers were cool. Thanks for sharing such a great video.

[@gameonammar8532]

Looking forward for weekender show Monica ......love you

Very nice and neat. You are superwoman, not only in kitchen design but also in hardware organization.

[@jimtownsend7899]

Great to see Monica back! Now we know why we haven't seen her - Kobalt was too cheap to sponsor her. Fortunately, Craftsman is happy to help her make a product-placement video! ;)

[@csillamcelrath3708]

Thank you for giving me great ideas on how to clean clean up my one car garage and make room for everything in such a small.space.🙏🏼 It was a very informative video. 👏

This is so helpful, thanks! I have tried and failed to get my garage organized. That bike rack would relieve so much stress...lol

[@mommyeva2]

Monica I need you in my house! I absolutely loved this video🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 You tackled all of my garage problems ❤️❤️

[@jeannettesparr9179]

Please consider doing this for my husband. He is fighting eye cancer and needs an organized space! Thanks.

[@RC4X4]

I like the bike rack. Looks easy to build. I'm thinking the over head space might work too. I have tons of cabinets right now. Great video. The tip I always read and work on is keep everything off the floor.

[@kimbenson118]

I need the entire area where the tools are stored for my Christmas decorations-- I would have put more shelves where the sports gear are hanging --- and lastly, I wonder how long that neat garage will last-- getting family members to put everything back inthe proper place is the problem. Also, someone once recommended taking a sharpie and draw around each tool hanging so you know where it goes or the family member who grabs a tool knows where to put it back

[@ilovemytoonephews]

I wish Monica had her own show. i love her DIY designs. LOWES give Monica her own KZbin show. it would be great advertisement for your store.

[@kemchobhenchod]

Solid catches with those basketballs. Girl's got hands, and not just the ones from her Halloween box.

[@beckyfischer7025]

What would help me most in my garage is the shelving unit and the storage bins. In my extra large Service Porch/Workshop room would be the Craftsman tool cabinet on wheels. In fact, I could use two. Great video. I loved the organization and the presentation.

[@glassw380]

I liked your video just after introduction as this is what i am looking for since long ... cheers

[@firesign4297]

👏👏👏 And I say....CLEAR BINS FOR EVERYTHING!!!😊

[@tvrfreak]

I say, everything behind doors for a clean, minimal, cutter-free look. My pegboard is on the inside of a cabinet. Out of sight when not in use.

[@esterixis]

I have the ceiling storage rack. Great for storing off season clothing & seasonal items. Now to set up an area for gardening equipment....

[@rogershipman3578]

The bike rack is brilliant!

[@monkiaray9093]

Love the red tool work area..looks great ..MONICA YESSS

I love Monica 💕 All of her videos are so helpful and she has such a friendly, fun demeanor. I hope I’ll see more videos from her soon

Great video. So helpful. Changed my life.

Omg You are unbelievable good. It has given me a good idea to organise my messy garage. Thank you so much.

[@sidjohnson1776]

Absolutely brilliant

[@lorismith9019]

Loved bike rack build. I would love to see Lowe's post more DIY builds. It's pretty easy to go out & buy organization tools & equipment IF you have the $. Specifically I'd love to see garage overhead storage DIY video. Overall great video IF you have an extra $1000+ laying around. Lowe's could still make $ on supplies for us DIY'ers.

[@08fighter08]

I like the bike rack idea. I wonder how I could modify it for one bike for my sister. P.S. I just moved into my new apartment and can’t wait to try some ideas from the weekender and the wall series. 👏🏾😁 One of my goals is to find solutions that don’t require putting holes in the wall, or at the very least less holes in the wall. Reminds me of college dorm solutions. Lol

[@surveyguyor8958]

nice. i would have primed that new bare wood. all that hard work and good quality work deserves the extra step.

[@sabrinaxavier-flores6568]

i really liked the idea how you put everything in order in the garage but except the bikes are in the way and takes over a little bit space. you can put the bikes upside down in the ceiling and have more space but overall you did good !!

[@h7opolo]

6:00 u had me there

[@BrianKotoka]

That was awesome thanks guys!

[@AriannaAyers]

Great idea to use decals to map out item placement. Maybe decals can't be the exact icon of an item, but a general L X W X H taped out, can be helpful. Great idea, Lowes!

[@tvrfreak]

I put my tools on then pegboard, then marked their outlines with my sharpie. Easy to tell if anything is missing or out of place.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ATOTALLY AWSOME TRANSFORMATION!!!! GREAT VIDEO MONICA!!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! I LOVE EVRYTHING!!!

Put a shed in the backyard for all the hoarding the garage is for vehicles. It did turn out nice though, but I live where it gets 118 deg. We need our garage.
