What have you done with your garage?
Last year my new house and garage was finished.
The only thing done so far is latex paint on the block walls, epoxy paint on the floor, and some shelving.
It's still bare bones looking.
If you've personalized your garage, (and most of you have), I'd like to see some photos, and perhaps steal a few ideas.
Thanks...

My garage changes have been strictly functional. A steel high quality workbench, extra storage for tools, paint the walls, additional 4 tube flourescent lights, and a 9000# twin post assymetric lift.

Hey Hameister, I love your car and love seeing pics of it. Turbo6TA- that porcelain tile looks hot. Its between racedeck or porcelain when I get around to doing my garage. If you don't mind me asking how much did your floor cost you all said and done?

Most of what I have is for function not decoration. I have a couple of kitchen cabinets that I keep my towels for the cars in and some other stuff for the house.
I have a few different things hanging over my work bench that belonged to my father, grandfather and great great grandfather to remind me of them while I'm working.
A couple Corvette things. Black flag is from fleabay and the other the former owner of my vette sent me. Under the old yellow sheet is my solid top.
