Our garage started as an unfinished pole barn.
Two years layer it is "finished". Insulated, 100 Amp electrical service, HVAC, water, and tons of (important only to me) memories!

The legs of that table is ingenious! I’ve been thinking a LOT about s2000s recently. Can you give a quick summary of that car compared with the other cars in your garage?

Neat. First garage I've ever seen with a stove and dishwasher!

The S2000 is my nephews fun ride. I have driven it a few times.
Pro's. Handles great. If you like high RPM fun, this is it.
Negatives. It's a very tight fit. I'm 6'2" and 250 and it's a fight to get in.

Regarding the kitchen - we remodeled the home kitchen, so I repurposed the appliances and moved them to the garage which was under construction. What looks like a dishwasher is actually an under counter fridge.
Great for garage parties!

Very nice indeed! But yes, the personal touches and the associated memories are at the top!

Read this entire thread for inspiration. I have a 18' deep x 16' wide, 1 car plus workbench garage and thinking about expanding it to 18 x 24 or so to house two cars plus an active workbench area. Will post pics if/when I get started.

Have you looked at the Garage Journal website [garagejournal.com] and searched the forums for additional inspiration? I found it valuable as I planned my workshop.

You have been really busy! It looks great. How do you like the interior colors? I am thinking about a similar scheme but using a lighter shade of gray and a similar red stripe to separate the gray from my 2ft wide slat panel and similar light color drywall. I just started today taping and mudding the joints.

A picture of my workshop “accomplishment” today.

looking great, I will look at garage journal. Thanks for the tip
