Garages have always had many uses – like storing your car, storing your junk, a second living room, a man cave, a place for your band to practice or a workshop – but until recently, garage decorating and lighting was basically the same. Most garages had metal shelves, wooden ceilings and that one light bulb dangling in the middle of the room.
But as this article from AOL Real Estate explains, garage makeovers have come a long way in the last few years.
People are beginning to look at their garages with a newfound appreciation. What was often seen as a glorified closet has become the latest remodeling project for a lot of homeowners who need a little extra space. With garage renovations costing less than constructing an addition onto homes, people have finally began realized the potential of their garages.
So what have people come up with?
- The New York Times tells the story of a performance artist named Michelle de la Vega who transformed her 250-square foot garage in back of her Seattle home into a cozy dream space, complete with a sleeping loft and wood-burning stove, all for $32,000.
- Sunset magazine details a classy garage conversion by an architect in San Francisco. A two-car garage was repurposed into a guest room, office and bathroom under a new gabled roof – and surprisingly, there was room left to squeeze in one car.
The possibilities are endless.
