Pimp my Garage! Or show me yours!

Yes I promise I do! Here's a recent picture of my pool room I painted. (Before & After) I also did all the wood work (Double crown, shadow boxes, chair rail) and installs of the surround sound (before dry wall) and tv. I'd like to do something of this sort for the garage minus wood work. Just paint of a new shade or similar but light difference. This pool room is on the same level as the garage so I don't want to walk in either door from either location and it be too crazy. Just a nice flow looking like an interior designer was payed big bucks to figure it out. It would look cool to make the garage almost look like a dealership, sleek, cool and trendy, much like the Porsche dealerships are now if you go in them. Much like the photoshop picture that looks awesome on this thread, and he said he only did it in 5 mins!

Wow, it looks like you have the skills. Your game room looks great. Very nice job.

Thanks! I just need real creative ideas now since I have not come across too many garages that have been done up. Trying to find pictures online is nearly impossible unless you are looking for cabinets etc.

If you want garage ideas, go to http://www.garagejournal.com and sign up for the board. There are literally thousands of photos in the Gallery section, as well as every flooring, wall covering, tool selection etc, etc, etc post that you could imagine. Here's a photo I quickly pulled down from the gallery as an example...

Cool, I am gonna check out the site. The billiards table is an Olhausen. I picked it up at Games & Things. It was the first thing I bought for the house while it was being built. It was somewhere around $2500 or less installed. It's a great table. Has that accufast siding that won't break down and I believe was a three slate table system. Unfortunately I didn't get to watch them install it. I had to get one short stick for the tricky shots since the room isn't huge.

Olhausen are a really good brand. The billardex also use three slates. I'm getting my installation on the 29th and it came to about $2500 with all the extras (cover, new heat-resistant balls>????, etc.) having 15' by 19' is often difficult. Hoping we manage.

Is that a Spencer-Marsden table from Billiardex? I just ordered one (Turin) and was looking at a model similar to your picture.
