The counter tops are holding up surprisingly well. I haven't been using them for typical "garage" work, but they do see a lot of use wrenching on electronics, household stuff and an occasional greasy motorcycle or Jeep part. The cabinets are melamine. I scuffed them prior to priming and...

This thread is soooo old, but I figured I would throw a couple update pics of the Ghetto Garage theater. Once the word got out, the theater started getting a little cramped. So, I started work on a second row! All of the trim finished, undercabinet lights in and the finished second row...

Starting to accessorize

Pictures are probably getting redundant...but....

Making a little more progress Here are a few more pics: The equipment rack was starting to drive me crazy, so I cleaned it up a little. More to come in this area later!

Well, we put it to work! I was thrown a semi surprise Birthday party, St. Patricks day boy. We had around 35 people in the garage to watch the UFC fights.....streamed them through the Xbox 360. It worked flawlessly!

Those are some very good points. I actually considered radiant floor heat under tile, but thought the cost was ridiculous for the size of the room. However, I could easily just place it in the high traffic area...makes good sense, now that I know where the bench and movie seats will always be...

I am pretty good with tile. I have considered it a few times during this process. Here are my only concerns....COLD....HARD Obviously, this garage will see mostly foot traffic and "in home" type of activities. I am concerned with the tile being very cold on the feet, for things like watching...

Just a few more update pics: Just an idea for the backsplash Got all of my plywood doors laminated. Now they just need paint! Hardware/handles and a pretty good representation of the eggshell finish on the cabinets.

The last few days I have been pretty motivated. I received my inwall speakers from the UPS guy.....I thought it was time to regain all of my floor space, so I started routing speaker wire in the walls and cuttin holes! I decided to color match the speakers to the walls, and they almost...
