A great feature in many Lennar homes is the garage. While this space is designed with automobiles in mind, it has come to be used for many other things. Unfortunately, this mindset that the garage is so multi-purpose can sometimes lead to an accumulation of “stuff”.
Our Lennar team decided to search out some ideas for how to keep this space neat and organized. We found some very helpful articles and decided to share these two with you. Camille VanAarle shares 4 easy-to-follow steps in How to Organize Your Garage and HGTV.com breaks it down in this comprehensive article entitled Garage Organization Made Simple.

One area of the home that is often overlooked is the mudroom – the area that greets your family and friends as they enter your home. Holding everything from jackets, shoes, boots, and hats to sports equipment, the mudroom has become the ultimate storage area. Considering that it’s one of the smallest rooms in many homes, it can be difficult to control everything that gets packed into this catch-all space. However, it can be done – and done with style.
Our Lennar team set out to find some tips on gaining control of this special room and we came up with a couple of great articles. For some basic suggestions about organization, furniture and storage solutions, check out Mudroom Organization Ideas by Prerna Malik. And for some good ideas and a great photo sampling of mudrooms, Better Homes and Gardens’ Make the Most of Your Mudroom is a must-see.
