EASY DIY GARAGE CABINETS & Tote Storage Workbench

Hey friends, let's give this garage a major upgrade! My sister and brother-in-law's garage came with these basic shelves that--let's be honest...weren't ideal.

After helping my parent's organize their garage last year (remember this video?    • BEFORE & AFTER: DIY Garage Makeover with S...  ), I wanted to help my sister organize hers. In this video, we will get rid of the shelves and replace them with customized storage cabinets and a mobile workbench. I hope you enjoy following along as I show you how I built and installed each piece!
