How do you decorate your garage? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

CBThib307 · 03-31-2017, 08:28 PM

So I just bought my first house which means I finally have a garage to keep my car nice and cozy and room for tools. So far I've decorated it with some Coca-Cola stuff I had lying around and an 86 picture I found on Etsy. I am trying to come up with what I'm going to put on the other walls. How do you decorate your garage or how would you decorate it if you had one?

Nice garage!! I bet you will spend more time there. Any plans for the floor? Also you have space for a air compressor and maybe a lift

For the floor I want to do Swisstrax tiles. Probably a combination of the ones that look like wood and the standard ones under the car. That's low on the list of priorities though.
As for the lift, it's a one car garage so the garage door opener is only three feet above the car, so I wouldn't be able to really use the height of a two post. I should have a quickjack by the end of the April.
I'm not sure if I will do an air compressor. I've been getting by with a ryobi battery powered tire inflator and impact wrench so I will probably hold off until I actually need it. Still need a fence and to finish decorating.

Congratulations on becoming a homeowner ......

Great looking garage ......

Back-in-the-day, I used to paint my garage floors with epoxy paint then build a shop bench and build lots of shelving.

Today's garage ........ I don't wanna talk about it ......

If floor is new paint it with two part epoxy soon. if old have it done, will keep oil from getting into the floor.
you have enough head room for a short two post lift, (max-jack). Much better than scissor or four post for working on the car.

Mine is stuffed to the gills! cars, tires, tools, kayaks, bikes...

Garage was stuffed with things from the shed at the time, due to a hurricane on the way. You can kind of see the walls.

Is this ikea?

Yes!!!!
I nearly started this thread a few days ago but have nothing to offer lol
Humfrz knows why, but my garage sucks and i cant even walk around the one car thats in it... because its a 1 car garage.

All that will soon change, however. Im in the market for a new home, and one of my requirements is a 3 car garage and shop environment stuff like workbench and nice rolltop.
I already have a compressor and stereo, just ned space to put it all to good use.

Keep the examples coming!
