Halloween is hands-down the best holiday of the year. It gives us permission to embrace our inner child and enjoy the perfect balance of tricks, treats, and tomfoolery. It’s an ideal opportunity to be the talk of the neighborhood by delivering some thrills with your spooky decor.

These days, there’s a holiday for everything. You’ve got Hug Your Cat Day on June 4, World Smile Day on October 1, and National Brownie Day on December 8. Heck, there’s even a holiday dedicated to a great American tradition: the garage sale.

Sometimes, making the long trek to the mountains, lake, or desert to enjoy a good outdoor hobby can be enough for anyone to call it quits before even getting started.

If you’re like many homeowners, you rarely hang out in your garage. Instead, you dash in and out only when necessary, giving unwanted critters the side-eye along the way.

Storing climbing gear in the garage can quickly turn into a tangled web that feels impossible to organize. And when your storage situation gets really out of hand, you’re less likely to be getting out on those climbing adventures you had your heart set on in the first place.

We get it: Organizing your house and garage often feels like a game of whack-a-mole. Shove a few things here and a few things there to get that space cleared out...and repeat, repeat, until the end of time.

The garage is your territory. Whether you retreat there to fire up the power tools, jam on the drums, or tinker under the hood of your hot rod, it’s a place you want to be.

Whether you’re into tinkering under the hood of your car, building furniture, DIY projects, or anything else that requires a power tool, the facts are pretty straight-forward: Men who work with their hands need a home garage workbench.

Let’s face it: Sometimes there’s just nowhere to turn when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life. Whether you want a place of refuge from your partner’s reality TV shows, your kids’ squeals, or the dog’s whimpering, a man cave is almost always the most brilliant use of space for any garage.

Your secret’s out: You were basically always born to be a rock star, and now it’s time to make your dream happen. After all, you only live once, and these days, anyone can be anything with the help of YouTube and a great internet connection.

You’re newly living that WFH life, and let’s face it—you really need some peace and quiet. Working from home certainly has its benefits (Hello, 30-second commute! We love you, microwaved leftovers!), but it can also be tricky when you want to actually be productive.

You’re a full-grown adult, and if life has taught you anything so far, it’s to make like a Boy Scout and always be prepared. Sure, that includes having a roommate call mid-date to get you out of a sketchy situation, but it also means having adequate food storage.

When it comes down to it, the modern world is pretty incredible. You can go to bed at home, wake up, speed through the air in a giant metal tube, and land in paradise just a few hours later.

In theory, a mudroom is an amazing invention: A place to kick off your dusty shoes, store your coats and bags, hose down the dog after a rainy-day romp, and quickly stash away your messes when the guests show up.

Reclaim that garage and turn it into Hobby Central: the beloved spot you go to workout, paint, or heck—even brew your own beer. It’s the modern world. With YouTube and a great garage, anything is possible.
