Garage interior design ideas?

[bmx672]

Okay, so the wife and kids will be out of town next weekend for the week... my plan is to re-seal the floor with the epoxy this weekend so I can get started next week on a garage overhaul! My house is only a few years old so the garage is pretty decent to start with. Dry walled etc...
My plan... to buy a shelving/storage system with work bench etc. The type you see at Sears etc.
Anyway, since I have a dedicated 3rd garage just for the Porsche I wanted to make this garage special without spending a ton of $. I know the storage system I want will run about $1k... I'm a designer so I have a lot of vinyl etc. I was thinking of checker boarding a wall... maybe in a pattern that looks like the flag is waving... for the wall behind the boxster. Maybe put some slat wall along the wall too?

Any Ideas or photos to help me out?

WOW! Thanks for that link! I'm going to spend a lot of time on there the next couple of days!
Thanks.

BMX672, sounds like fun! I would love to have a garage with a small fridge (for beer and Gatorade), flat screen TV and a comfy sofa to lounge around and stare at the car!

Some cool vintage Porsche posters would be neat. I'd also like to take some of the pictures on my car from last year's Tail of the Dragon trip, get them enlarged and divided up amongst 3-4 picture frames, and then mount on the wall.

A few years ago, someone ( could have been Jeph) posted a web site that will take your photograph, and do this special processing.

What epoxy will you use?

Use the checkerboard floor tiles to do the garage space the Porsche is parked in and leave the others with the epoxy. Paint the walls and ceiling a nice color. Then paint a big Porsche logo on the wall in front of the space.

Then buy a lift so you can buy a Carrera GT and park in under the Boxster

Yes, a fridge is in the works already!

I managed to find some 4'x8' slat wall for about $25 each!!! I'm going to pick up a few sheets tonight if I can get my buddies truck. I think doing that along one wall would be really cool. The only thing is it's white... maybe I could roll on some primer gray... the slat wall have that laminate on it so I'm not sure if anything will stick to it.

Hey Yellowboxster, cool garage! How do you like the RaceDeck flooring? I'm wondering if it "pops" when you walk on it or if moisture gets trapped underneath. Any comments you have about it will be appreciated. It looks like the best system to me.
