New garage, need ideas.

[odie]

My wife and I are getting ready to close on a new (to us) home with an attached 25 x 26 garage.
I am already planning (my wife thinks I'm a ****) where cabinets/workbench/air compressor/etc. will find a home. My current garage just has white walls, white trim and white cabinets.
I want the new garage to have a little more color and be a little more appealing to the eyes.

So my request is, post up a picture of the interior of your garage with your various paint schemes and basic layout so that I can further annoy my wife with my OCD ways.

Thanks

Here's a similar thread, there are a hundred more here just like it.

When I was getting ideas for mine I just did image searches, that way you get all pics and don't have scroll through multiple threads. Anywho, here's mine. Simple and not original at all, but clean and simple.

I had a blueprint layout of my garage before I started moving stuff around. Gotta find that pic.

I really like your current garage. I would suggest a similar set-up but with a grey accent wall. You did a great job keeping your current space, simple, and clean in the design/lay-out.

Thanks for this link. I tried to search for something similiar, but I guess my search skills are lacking.

Thanks. I will be keeping most everything in the pictures, just hoping for a little more color. It's a little bland right now.

im right there with ya man. Wife and I just closed on our first home and I've been planning out my garage build for months! I started with a couple gallons of Behr light silver epoxy floor coating with slip resistant additive and flakes. Gotta finish the work on the inside of the house before the wife will let me do much else out there though

My wife has already offered to help paint the garage, I just have to come up with the colors.
