Renovate area between house to sunroom through the garage.

When we put a hot tub in our sunroom we realized that we needed a nicer path going through our garage to get to it. Here is what we did.

  • This step has a coat of paint to match the walls.
Box was built for safety purposes.
  • This is how steep without the box in place. Kitchen to the left < Walk in closet to the right > The laundry room entrance above
  • This is the view from my office desk. Ugh!!

Design & Décor: Requesting suggestions: Our step-down needs a facelift. Converted garage into other space and have extra steep step.

These pictures show the step down from kitchen into my garage. Now converted into large walk in closet space and office area. This is extremely steep step down, plus it's ugly. Need budget ideas and DIY suggestions.

Scooter Stand Organizer

The scooters were all over the place in our garage! So, my hubby whipped up this scooter stand organizer with scrap wood. He's got detailed instructions and free printable to make it!

    Jeanette, you must have missed ...»
    that he's already said it's a definite possibility. In fact today as we were leaving his sisters neighborhood in Central Iowa, he say a four car garage and said that's pretty close to the size we should build. I don't have to push him. I give him the idea and if it's right for us then it usually happens. Eventually. He pretty much spoils me.

  • We just love these colorful floors! 2
  • The red has some orange in it making it sort of a brick red/terracotta hue.
  • From left to right, ya gotta admit, this garage now has some 1

Its a bit daring, but every client who ordered a red epoxy garage floor has never been disappointed.

They are really a hot color that adds interest and excitement to the room. If ya dig it, how about a thumbs up!?
