The always overlooked Garage, a Bold Makeover :-P


I realize most folks don't think about how their garage looks but after a spring de-cluttering of the house, we decided to de-clutter the garage. Keeping in mind we had to also utilize part of the garage as a workout room. I recently got a new sports car (a 2011 Inferno Orange Camaro) and it inspired us!
We painted the walls gray, installed black base boards and Craftsman flooring. The flooring was super easy to install plus you create your design on line with your measurements and it takes about 5 weeks to ship. We also had to repurpose the current cabinets and make a better work space since we have 2 cars so we moved them and created a nice mini workshop with shelving and we even installed track lighting! This took my husband about a week to complete.
We love this new 'room' Smiling now all it needs is a refrigerator, couch and flat screen tv! LOL
AFTER:

 

we repositioned the two cabinets to make room for the table saw and that area of the garage was a better fit for a workspace.
