I want to do some painting, and drywall and insulate the newest area of the garage first. And then do knock down drywall texture in the whole garage.

I also want to do something about the plane looking front door area.

I haven't closed on the house yet, but I've already started planning what I'm going to do!

I'll go over some of the influences as to why I chose this home.

A large spacious garage was high on my priority list, as well as a large yard without having the neighbors too close to the sides of the home.

I've already got plenty of stuff to put in the garage, and I love working in the garage.

Here is a plug for a door for my Datsun Z project. This will be used to make carbon fiber doors.

YAY for big garages!!!:D
I bought my home over 7 years ago and the 56' x 22' garage with the additional 16x20 room on the front was a major factor in my decision. Not sure why you'd want knock-down texture in a garage? I'd want slick walls so the dust would just go on down to the floor lol...

As for the front door area, there are several accent options available. One is a complete trim set that gives it a bigger more inviting look

Or, you could add a smaller gable or even steal an idea from my avatar pic:p

It's a nice looking home. Be proud, take good care of it!
