I think the title says it all. I’m a junker ie: a collector of junk! I am fortunate enough to have a 2 1/2 car garage next door that is at my disposal. It is where I “hold” my projects in waiting and finished projects until they are ready to be sold. When you collect…
I’m so excited to share my latest DIY with you! It’s a rolling tool cart with pegboard storage! I keep my tools in my 1 car garage. That leaves very little room to maneuver around the garage. I build my projects in the driveway, and it entails hauling my tools out of the garage, generally…
This post brought to you by Gladiator GarageWorks. The content and opinions expressed below are that of My Repurposed Life. I’m not just Spring Cleaning around the shop, I’m “Spring Keeping”. Those items to “keep” include, of course all of my tools! They tend to get unorganized and shifted around. I recently built a new…
If you’re looking for a gift for your DIY’er, check out my recommendations. (this post contains Amazon affiliate & sponsor links) This table saw was one of my first large tools. I couldn’t do what I do without it. However, if your DIY’er is just starting out, and you can…
It’s been a week, and I’ve shown you how I am getting organized in the garage by building a lumber storage work bench, and another lumber storage bench. I am not 100% done with this huge task. There are a few things that I don’t want to put back in the garage because it looks…
Three long days of cleaning and organizing the garage. I’m so over it. Seriously, I feel like I just want to burn all the wood that I haven’t found a home for. I snapped a picture of the 20 year old cabinet.
I showed you the lumber storage bench I built yesterday from the Family Handyman site. Today, I’m going to show you how I modified it to make bench #2. I needed another bench to store my scrap lumber. I have another 2 ft wide piece of scrap plywood from that 70’s waterbed that I wanted…

I’ve been wanting to compile a post about tools, and I recently got this email: Hello Gail, My name is Amanda Taylor and I live in Lubbock, Texas. I have been a big fan of your blog ever since I stumbled upon it via pinterest. I love all of the projects that you do (even…
If you follow me on Facebook, you already know I was recently interviewed by a very nice lady, Cherie @Working Writers. If you’ve ever wondered how/why I started blogging, hop on over to the article Interview: Gail @My Repurposed Life. On with today’s post: It seems like I’ve been making a lot of trips to…
I took TONS of pictures while I worked on the basement, however even I can’t make heads or tails of them. So I made 3 collage pictures of the main areas. This is the corner where I kept all of my school stuff after I lost my job. This is where I will keep my…
I don’t have all the tools a girl could want, but I am fortunate enough to have a generous family that understands that I would rather have something from Home Depot than a new scarf from Target. This tool box was a gift from my nephew Bubba. I work out of a tool box rather…
Prepare yourself, this is ugly! If you are squeamish you may just want to look at the pictures, and skip the video. my garage “before” This is about 2 hours into “gutting” the garage. Same corner after a couple more hours. (that blue piece of foam is to keep Louie in the back yard) …
EDITED to add: This is an older post, some of my favorite products have changed. My toolbox has been in my house since I started working on the living room. It usually lives in the garage. I think it is getting pretty comfortable living in the house. I have organized it more in the last…
