Custom design by Style Your Garage

Garage doors are typically pretty boring — functional, but not much to look at — until now. Style Your Garage has come up with a product that will make you the envy of all your friends while either A) simultaneously providing a lovely scene for your neighbor across the street or B) totally pissing off said neighbor. (Oooh, I can’t wait until somebody tries to slide one of these by their HOA!)   [click to continue…]

3m headlight lens restoration afterWe’re going to stretch the “Home” in “HomeFixated” to encompass not only the garage, but also the car that might reside in it. In fact, we will be providing a review of the 3M Headlight Lens Restoration Kit and a little how to in the hopes we can help you improve the look of any aging vehicles you might be stuck with own. I’m not ashamed to admit it, the Great Recession has been hard on my family’s vehicle fleet. Pre-recession I was liv’n the dream, zipping around in a two seater convertible that did zero to sixty in under 6 seconds. We had a family wagon (that has since been totaled). And then a late 90′s compact SUV, which I used as . . . wait for it. . . as a utility vehicle. Financial prudence and $500 German baby car seats led to me selling my (vehicle) baby.

Genie PowerMax 1500 Garage Door OpenerWhen I first was invited to attend Genie’s Blogger Summit in the heart of Amish country in Ohio, I was a little confused. It’s a garage door opener.

Gladiator Five Drawer Modular GearDrawerLet’s face it, the garage can be a magnet for things other than your prized tools and hardware. In our household, it is also the deposit area for anything my wife deems to fall in the man’s domain. This means I regularly find little “presents” like the spoon I’m supposed to repair – that somehow found it’s way into the garbage disposal, or the random tools that somehow get left scattered around the house either during or after projects and then are picked up by the tool fairy. If your garage is a black hole that seems to attract just about everything, you’ll need some decent storage. That’s where the Premier Five Drawer GearDrawer from Gladiator Garageworks comes in.
