Default Help Me Design the Interior of My Garage - Lots of Pics Attached

since we seem to be on a garage thread kick this weekend, i am going to ask for some opinions -- what should i do with my garage? right now a bunch of older posters and some home depot storage cabinets, a few books and nick nacks, but i would like to do something much more coordinated and much more porsche... it is a 3 car garage if i really squeeze them together, but usually my beater sits outside and the 2 porsches stay in the garage with lots of room to spare... so i have some flexibility to do some cools things --

initial thoughts: more porsche memorabilia, maybe two parking mats to put the cars on, some type of old timey gas pump, bar stools, a low rise lift, etc.... ?

What's the details on your floor?
Looks like epoxy but professionally applied.
Wish I had it, very nice!

One more Porsche in there and I think it'll all be done. Seriously, I'm jealous. Nice!

Wow...that's a good size garage with potential. If those seats are just sitting around how about mounting them and use as chairs or a couch...put in a $1000-1200 32-35" LCD TV, satellite hook-up, refrigerator, bar/keg...

This site has answers to questions I haven't even asked! Might not be the best prices but they certainly have a lot of great ideas.

I'll be using some of my deployment money to pretty up mine too!

You could definately squeeze in another Pcar . Love the mini 993 (but ofcourse I am biased) and the posters ! +1 on the refrigirator as well and maybe a lift as well??

haha... chickens... Hogan (lab) weighs 90lbs and Mr. Sullivan (Basset Hound) weighs 50lbs... believe me, they are no chickens...

I like the lighting, refrigerator and lift ideas.... keep them all coming.

Dick, the floor was put down by Premier Garage... it is not epoxy, but a polymer... http://www.premiergarage.bz/httpdocs/html/flooring.html

You've got a great canvas and some great ideas. My 2 cents would be to upgrade your cabinets to the stainless variety. (check out the frontgate cataloge) the will snap with those beautiful pcars in there.

JT,

You have a great start by having the floor professionally finished. If I were you I would decide where and how you want the cabinets and have Premier Garage finish the job. You have the ideal space/setup for your garage for many to envy.
