Garage remodel pictures

Hi everyone!  I have been working all day every day for over a week, remodeling the inside of my garage.  

Remember this picture?

This was right before we had the new concrete poured.  Well, just about NOTHING from our old garage came back into it.  See the walls?  Not much but bare studs and some crappy ole unfinished sheet rock.  Typical garage...

Bill and I redid everything ourselves.  I mean everything.  I designed the layout, we hung white paneling on the walls (with help from our Handyman), put together ALL the cabinetry, shelving systems and I painted a re-purposed kitchen cabinet/shelves white.  And I decorated it.  Yes, I decorated the garage -hey, it doubles as my laundry room!

This is the front wall/laundry room/entry to the house.  This is my pride and joy.  

I spent 3 days on this section alone. 

I did EVERYTHING on this wall!  I must say, after finishing this garage, I am QUITE handy with a drill!!  The cabinetry is the Estate by RSI and the shelving system is FastTrack Shelving from Rubbermaid.  Getting the doors to hang correctly was very tricky -it took about 40 minutes for EACH one.

Here is a close-up.  I am glad I found to hang a couple of my ceramic suns I got from my travels to Mexico (each sun is from a different trip).  See those toys on the left?  Those are 3 of my favorites from when I was a girl.  My Barbie dolls used to ride them!  Hey, I grew up on a farm -LOL!

Here is a picture of the other side of the door.  I hung the cabinet and installed the peg board myself!

This is Bill's side, the garage cabinetry was a BEAR to assemble for him, but it's really sturdy.  It's from Gladiator Garage works and we got it at Lowes.  Again, we cut out and mounted the pegboard.  We haven't filled the shelves yet, getting to that tomorrow -LOL!

This is the right side of the garage (where I park my car).  It holds our freezer, some more re-purposed shelves, my scrapbooking tote and a closet bar to hang extra clothes.  That brown cabinet on the far right was the only thing from the original garage we kept, it holds our luggage.

Here is a close up of the spot we have for the boys bikes and our shoe bench (from IKEA) by the entry door.  Now everyone has a place to sit down and take off the shoes OUTSIDE the house!  I also found the great double bike rack at Lowes.

OK, enough of the pictures!  Thanks for bearing with me this summer through all my remodeling.  I can tell you all one thing.  WE WON'T be doing anything like this ever again!  It's been over 3 months of complete chaos. 

Thank goodness it's all done and now we have a beautiful kitchen, the best driveway in the neighborhood and a fully functional and gorgeous garage!  Yeah baby!!
