Default My garage theme

Many people decorate their garage with classic car pictures and posters. I decided to do the same, only use posters of our own family cars.

The Villages Florida

On the side wall, my Uncle Len in the straw hat with his new 1956 Mercury and my dad standing by his 1926 Chandler named "The Midnight Stroller."

I was astonished at how clean Talk Host's garage was when he had his house for sale in Chatham. This one is even more magnificent.

How do you keep it so nice??

I too think of myself is a clean freak.

The pictures are lovely, but the garage.....wow, it's so neat, clean and painted such a pretty color! The beautiful blue really makes the pictures "pop." Nice job!

Having lots of garage space is one thing. But having a super clean garage is something entirely different.

I stand in awe - very impressive, TH!

I agree with all of the cleanliness statements (I don't think I get that clean after taking a 15 minute shower) but I am most impressed by the photos. They seem to balance family and memories from the past with lifestyle of today. Very, very cool.

I take great pride in keeping my garage clean and welcoming. It's not that difficult. I like the way it looks and am never ashamed for people to walk through or visit. Just add it to the list of things to do.

If you think the garage is clean, you should see my workshop. I don't dare post any pictures of that. Actually, it's really nice with its own theme.

Will you come decorate my garage. Please, please, please.

Seriously, you could do people's garages for a living.



Also, please show us your workshop. Thanks.

Yes, I'd like to see the workshop, also. My garage is, well, rather "busy" and as soon as the weather cools a bit, it will be time to purge, purge, purge...and then, maybe it will be ALMOST as neat as yours... well, maybe not,....
