Not that GQ, but government quarters.
I used to have a real garage, not as well equipped as most on here but comfortable and big enough to hold a "tech day" for some fellow BMW riders back in 2004:
But, where I lived was flat and all the roads were straight, and I needed to move somewhere I could ride. Thankfully, in 2008 I had the opportunity to move to California. I worked in the middle of the Mojave and didn't have a garage at all, but made do with a storage shed:

There was excellent riding nearby and I enjoyed the stay in California. But in Novemeber I had the opportunity to move to Ft Knox, KY so I took it. So here I am living on post and now have a 1 car garage.
This is what I started with:

Raw material for the "makeover":
A few pics of the finished product:
I know the laminate floor won't hold up, it is cheap and I already had it and was going to throw it away, so I figured it would be better than nothing.
The poster is mounted on the end panel of the crate my bike came in 17 years ago. The spare tire cover is form my old 73 VW Camper I had in Italy back in the 90's.
If your only tool is a hammer....
Since there are brick walls, I had to make this framework to hang my homemade cabinets on.
Last, my "yacht":
