Lately Andy and I have been fantasizing about our own “Dream Rooms” for the house….and as I start to move into the “shopping/decorating phase” of the master bedroom overhaul I am finding more time to “project”.
If I could add anything to the house it would be a locked and loaded full on command station with endless storage, an outstanding work table/bench for projects and ridiculously organized tools. For, Andy it would be his own personal 24 hour fitness…gym, elliptical, workout bench, a flat screen, a kegerator…I know I know, they don’t have Kegs in Gym’s but who am I to kill a mans dreams!?
We certainly have the space to make these two dreams a reality….half of our 2 car garage is car-less and even given that…the garage is quite spacious so I’m eager to jump into this project.
I plan on doing the Garage Upgrade in 5 phases:
#1) Make a Mud Room
#2) Consolidate Storage
#3) Consolidate Utility Space
#4) Crazy Cool Work Station
#5) Insanely Sweet Workout Space
Here are the current Pictures of the garage today…brace yourself it’s a Hot Mess. Lots of Spiders.
1) Here is where I plan to Make a Mudroom
So Dirty in here! And yes the beer bottle opener on the wall will be staying.
Inspiration:
2) This wall here is going to become the main storage area.
3) Here are the current and inefficient utility areas…Gardening and Garbage/Recycling Areas respectively.
To be read in a stoner voice…Check out that Sweet Ride.
Inspiration:
4) This “frat-rigged” storage center is way too big, oddly shaped and a waste of good work space. This is where the new Crazy Cool Work Station will be!
Inspiration:
5) Now look at the “before” picture above, then imagine where I was standing while taking that picture…that will be Andy’s Insanely Sweet Workout Space.
And I’d love to share inspiration for this one…but I don’t really have any yet! This portion is going to be the most challenging part of the project…I have no point of reference, I haven’t stepped foot in a gym in years!
So we established rules…Andy has agreed to regularly clean spiders and I have agreed to regularly sweep my sawdust…and if we maintain the project phases will commence!
I’ve already been ticking away at Phase 1 and I hope to get close to a “reveal” by end of next week…but who knows it’s actually supposed to be nice in Seattle this weekend, the pool is calling my name!Thanks for reading Peeps. Love Ya.
