A sitting room in the United Kingdom. Original...

OK, space IS really nice.  But when it comes to cool, space isn’t always the defining factor.  But, usually when we see the articles in the big papers or magazines, the garages are huge and expensive.  I have to admit that I don’t see that many really cool garages done on the cheap.

But what if the garage were incorporated into the living space?  How would YOU feel about your ride staring at you while you watch Burn Notice on the flat screen?  Frankly, I kind of like the idea.  Not to say that I could have that as my ONLY garage… I am not so keen on the idea of welding in my living room.  But, if I had a showpiece, I would be happy to park it in the house.  At least in the RIGHT house.

Home-Designing.com recently had an article about Cars in the Living Room.  It was a pretty good follow-up to an article a couple of years ago about the Coolest Garages.

 

BTW, if I had a fairly big budget to create a garage, I would have a 1950s Service Station behind the house.  It would be complete with lifts and 6 bays or so.  Of course it would have to have space for a little machine shop, and those really cool glass roll-up doors.  While I’m at it, I guess I would want to have gas pumps, too.  How cool would it be to have my own pumps for bio-diesel and gas… right at home?
