I'm a Contractor and my garage is my storage and shop. I finally have a good enough organizational system for everything so I've decided it's time to make it into my man cave! I have a vague idea of what I'm doing but there are very few examples of people making spaces like mine into man caves.
To start I'm going to:
- 2 part epoxy floor (carbon grey color)
- Find a rubber or industrial type rug to go under my chair and motorcycle.
- Build out a small entertainment center where I have the sheet of drywall but all the way to the ground.
- Drywall off the other half of that same shelving unit but on the opposite side so you can't see through to the water heater and food storage buckets but still have access on the front side for my tools.
- Behind the bicycles is a piano covered by an old blanket. I'm just going to build a small wall the height of the piano to cover it up and hang tools or something on.
- Get rid of everything on the ceiling except for my RC planes so it doesn't look so messy.
- Paint the wall behind the washer and dryer black.
- upgrade lighting (I have no idea what that means realistically though)
Thoughts? Ideas? The area has to remain fully functional for work but I'm planning on taking some time to make it feel purposeful with some high end finish accents.
