My goal after building my 28x28 was to end up with only my coal bin, two cars and a garbage pail in my attached garage. well I have suceeded. now I need to sheetrock the ceiling and figure out what to do to paint the walls and add some character to it.

Any ideas?

There is a photo of the 28x28, I started shelving and organizing.

Insulate that little piece next to the man door and sheath the stud walls with either OSB or drywall then paint the walls 1/3 gray, 2/3 white with a strip to separate the two.
Can't tell how much room you have in the attic but if it's enough for storage, nail down some 5/8 plywood for a floor, install a pull down attic door, run a light on a pull chain up there, then drywall the ceiling. Paint the ceiling white.
Add some wall receptacles including one, preferably two, 220 outlets whether you need them now or not. Then install some serious lighting. And finally finish the floor with expoxy, racedeck or vct. Then you can move on to cabinets and shelving. A french cleat on the cinder block wall will support cabinets, maybe some pegboard and a shelf or two.
Hey, it was fun spending someone else's money !!

The concrete garage is the house garage, the other one is the 28x28 and yes there is already stuff making its way to the attic with ply down on the floor.

the house garage I need to finish stuffing the smaller joist and sills with insulation then 5/8 fire barrier is going on the ceiling.. there is living space above it. want to do the two tone paint and possibly finish the floor.. It just gets so messy with our gravel drive and snow in the winter.
