Default Need garage photos please for ideas

boring gray floor and boring white wall has to go....


How about some photos of your garages to give me some ideas?


I've searched and do you have any idea how hard it is to search on 'garage' on this sight?

So please help me out!

If you have a photo of a nice garage setup, PLEASE POST IT! (specifily interesting in color schemes of floor and walls)

thanks in advance




(BTW: I'm going to post what I found so far)

This is not my garage... I REPEAT... This is not my garage..
I lifted this pic from another site.

I would love to install something like this in my garage.
I think it's only about $2K for the lift..

a few ideas I found:


gulf colors

garages

By the way I like the one on your third picture, but it's more job to keep it clean than to DIY your car!!!

Well, mine isn't real fancy, but it was approval by the purchasing department (read: not too overly crazy). Although not pictured, it has a heater and wall art up now.

I did this last fall: (painting, flooring, lighting, heating (not shown), pictures (not shown).... flag). Flag was purchased on eBay.

Does anyone know where I can get a big Porsche emblem like in the photo above.. (above the 356) I have been looking for months..

I really need one...

I am in the same spot, but my garage in more tan.





I am thinking some color on the floor and the one wall next to the Acrua needs some nice art work.

I am sure that this has been discussed before, but what is the optimal garage ceiling height if one wants a service and a parking lift? I am thinking about 11 or 12 feet I can't go much higher than that. We have very limited space for the footprint, so the only way to go is up!

Here is a site to help feed your ideas. It is now called The Garage Journal and was formerly Garage Junkie. Click on the Board tab at the top. It is the Rennlist of garage fanatics. Lots of ideas here. There is even a garage gallery area. Good luck on the project. I'm getting ready to start mine as well.
