Like EV-lutioin I hang my cable from the ceiling to keep it out of the way and off the floor. Some of those garages shown above are amazingly clean. Here I live on a dirt road in snow country and the mud and melting snow pile up on the garage floor until I can get it hosed out in the spring. Different world here in the rural mountains.
Things were fairly clean when I took this picture last April:

Currently have a temporary setup for the charge cable but it is up and out of the way for now. I didn't catch the front of the green car in this shot. It's a 1951 Studebaker, plan is to electrify it. 
BTW, @bryson.young, sweet car ya got there!

My garage is clean and ready to accept the MS, hopefully by next week.

Since we needed to get an outlet installed for charging, we decided this was as good as time as any to hide the clutter with new cabinets and add a nicer floor. Still could use a new coat of paint...with perhaps some color.

Our "cover" photo shows our pole barn. MS on one side the Volt on the other. Underground conduit for the 50A lines to the wall units.
I used a local company here in the Bay Area for the cabinets and floors. The floor is rock solid and won't chip or peel. The company first sands the cement to open the pores. Then they apply the undercoat and spread out the flakes to give it depth and texture. After a couple of days of drying, they applied a heavy coat of clear polyurethane, which is hard and won't be damaged by wheels turning on it.
I had the same company also install my cabinets. I opted for 1" shelves since I have heavy items in the cabinets and didn't want the shelves to bow over time.
My contractor friend took care of the heavy lifting (the attic, electrical, insulation, drywall, etc. )

My garage is a mess so here is where I had my PPF done

My Wall Charger isn't too bad though, so here's a pic of it:

And the not nearly as pretty as everyone else's garage pics:

I like your cable management system - I ordered the short cord since I didn't want a bunch of loops but that looks nice.

Here is a picture of the home charging setup along with some pictures of our garage condo which is a little nicer.

I thought about the short cord, but I got the long so I can still charge if I am parked in the driveway or on the other side of the garage for some reason. It has come in handy twice, once my garage was full of a bunch of junk, and a second I had rented a camper trailer and didn't want to pull all the way in to the garage. I am planning on getting a second Wall Connector with the short cord for Model 3 when it arrives to replace the LEAF and I will get rid of my J1772 station.
What did you use as a cable organizer? Looks great!My garage is a mess so here is where I had my PPF done
