So my newly-finished garage isn't going to host any massive parties, or hold my collection of a couple-dozen classic cars. But it is a damned nice place to work on my car.
The scale of it is difficult to tell from these pictures. It's a 3-car garage, but one 'bay' is a workshop area (has no door). I painted the walls the same two-tone gray that's throughout the interior of my home and the floor is Epoxy-Coat's "Taupe" with a variety of flakes in about 9 different colors, about 75% "Fine" and 25% "Standard" size. I must say that "Fine" flakes are a damned nice alternative to anti-skid. End product actually looks remarkably like sand, which isn't what I was going for at all, but looks pretty cool and the surface is awesome to work on.
Cabinets are NewAge Performance Plus Diamond which are quite nice and go in super-easy. It's harder to actually get the things unpacked than installed (and the little bit of assembly required).
I installed 8 x 4' 4500K LED panels for awesome lighting throughout, some ceiling drops for electric and some LED worklights, and the TV is a 65" 4K model networked to my media server which contains about 25TB of thousands of movie and TV options (I'm more of a TV/Movie while you work than music).
It all adds up to a workspace that's damned hospitable. One of my favorite rooms in the house now. I just wish getting some sort of AC in there wouldn't be such a pain or expense.
