Car Box is Finished!

A bit different I know but we wanted to blend in with the house and take building/design cues from that. Knocked down a small car port and created a double garage.

The color and material matching existing fence and gatehouse just blended it in. The panel garage door, trellis and corbels made it I think.

It was built very specific to our needs. Storage area at the back and home for materials and treadmill (still to arrive). AC for the garage but can also limit to treadmill area with the barn doors. Barn doors also screen the storage area.

Didn’t want anything other than cars, bikes, tools in the main area.

Wanted big windows/ doors so that from the house we look at our stuff and not a big yellow box.

Thought the Mural would work and took the chance. Was fun to hang. Came out even better than expected. Going with haint blue ceiling like the Southern porch tradition really works too.

Sealed the floor with 2 coats TS210 from Concrete Sealers USA.

Lights from PrimeLights with movement sensor. Spotlights by remote for night time. Thought they might be too much but love the daylight they give.

Flooring the loft gave much needed storage space. 1920 built homes can be tight on that.

Reusing old brick pavers just finished it off so neatly and we can walk all the way round the house.

Delighted with the outcome. Just what we envisioned.

Got the Garage Wall Skyfall Mural Installed Today

Came in 13 strips for a 257”x107” wall. From Wallsource.

Really happy with how it came out. Thanks to this sub for the picture.

A little tricky as you’re matching the pattern at the bottom instead of from the top down with normal patterned wallpaper. With only 2” to spare in height it was super critical it started out level and stayed that way or you could easily run away from the ceiling in the space of 20’.

Looking forward to getting the cars/bike back in now that the box is almost finished.
