Once you've put away all the cold-weather gear, bring out the spring and summer items, like the patio furniture, gardening tools, and lawnmower.

Pegboards can be used to amplify the amount of storage space that exists. And they're not just for use in the garage. If you've got a craft room, pegboards are fantastic. They can also work in the kitchen.
