As part of The Home Depot ProSpective Tool Campaign, we got a chance to try out the new Milwaukee M18 Quik-Lok Outdoor Tool System. Milwaukee is fairly new to the outdoor tool market, but as newbies in the field, they've come out strong with this latest offering!

The system utilizes a power head that can be used with four different outdoor tools and extension pole. The power head is sold with the string trimmer, which according to our small sampling of readers on Facebook, is the most popular garden tool! The edger, pole saw, and hedger trimmer as well as the extension pole are all sold separately. We tried them out on an episode of Workshop Wednesday which you can see here.

We got a chance to try out the tools, but were perplexed as to how we were going to store them. Steph came up with a really simple way to store another brand of outdoor tools and adapted the idea for the Milwaukee system. That girl is really smart!

This is one of those projects that was going to be a single thing, but then evolved to even more! After installing the new Wall Control purple pegboard in Steph's garage and loving the new look, we were looking for more ways to use it. 

Steph's office/studio was a hodgepodge of makeshift storage for all her photography and video equipment. Making videos takes a surprising amount of tripods, lights, cameras, and other kinds of equipment. We thought a wall of metal pegboard with a variety of hooks and shelving would the perfect solution for organizing and storing all of her equipment, as well as a printer and printer paper. 

Well, as we were planning the install, we thought, "hey while we're reorganizing the space, let's make plans for adding a guest component to the room" and that's what we did!

...and the new color is...purple! 

In our visit to Wall Control last fall, we were told that work was underway to bring two new colors to the Wall Control line up. Earlier this month, we got word that the new new colors were in production and a sample would be coming our way!

Since purple pegs are not available yet, they sent along some color peg possibilities. It was a no brainer for us to choose the blue!

Follow along as we share our install of one of the two new colors. (P.S., pink is also available now!)

The inspiration for this project was a decorative fence we saw at Walt Disney World's Epcot as well as the upholstery print in a booth at a Culver's restaurant! Inspiration is everywhere!

Steph has been wanting to replace her garbage can privacy screen and this idea seemed like a perfect fit!

Not all dogs need to have an elevated food/water bowl, but it is recommended for greyhounds. As soon as Steph knew she was going to adopt Mac, we started looking at options for purchasing elevated feeders, as well as options of DIYing one.

As it turned out, we decided to DIY one using an old table Steph has had since college. Ironically, she had given it to me to see if I could use it just a few days prior. After we knew Mac was coming home, I happened to spot the table. It was the right height and thought it would be a perfect DIY project!
