We don’t have a mudroom inside, so our garage entry was always a chaotic wall of hooks and shoe piles. I dreamed of a professional renovation, but instead, I challenged myself to a $0 makeover using only what I already had. From scrubbing the walls to stealing a bookcase from my son's room and saving a bench from Facebook Marketplace, the results prove you don't need a budget to create a functional, beautiful home.

We also wanted to make sure that we would still be able to park both our cars in the garage - with a two car garage, this was no easy feat. Read on to see our finished space!
