After garage nook reorganized

AFTER: Installed ELFA shelving to not only accommodate dog food at standing level, treats, sunscreen, and spray, but also leashes, umbrellas, and recycle bin next to the kitchen entryway. Extra shelving albeit elevated for dog shampoo, umbrellas, and more.

Shoe closet set up in small home entryway closet
