My frist big home renovation.

Garage is now called Pub 23. Insulated, installed heat, additional outlets. Built shelves, stain glass pieces and bars. Can't call it a man cave because all the ladies enjoy the good times as much as the men. Open 24/7 lol. All weclomed!

Looks like a great new addition to your living space. did you know that the term "pub" comes from public house. as these were spaces that the community shared.

Looks like my kind of pub - a well-stocked bar, plenty of books and comfortable chairs.

Thomas, that's one of the most inviting rooms I have seen. I'll bet it's your favorite room.
I like the way you painted the ceiling dark. You could do the same with the garage door (-;
What's the story behind '23'? What did you do with the floor?
Thanks for the invite!!

Thank you. The floor will be epoxied in the spring so I can take furniture outside. I put bars and chairs on wheels for easy moving. The '23' is from my friend JP Morgan race car number. Noticed the car door over the bar. He is also a neighbor so the "hood" follows him and parties hard on his win. Any time your in Charlotte come on by.

Thomas I love your pub! If we didn't have to use our garage as our workshop I'd totally do this. It looks so inviting and comfortable!
