Do you actually own a toolbox, or maybe just a couple of wrenches?
Those are the male equivalent of Martha Stewart's kitchen. Pretty as hell, but nothing as messy as actual cooking has taken place there.

You
can have a nice garage space and still do real work. In my last garage (in the bad scan below), I did four ground up restorations in the five years I lived there. Actually, I found that doing the floor in epoxy and painting the walls in a washable egg shell made cleaning up a lot easier. Nothing ever harmed the epoxy floor and no matter what I spilled on it, it wiped right up. Granted, my garage was nothing that would be of interest to Architectural Digest, but it doesn't
have to be a cave to be functional. Isn't it more enjoyable to work in a clean, well lit space than in a grease pit?
The house I'm in now, I'll probably die in, so I want the garage to be spectacular. I'm hoping it'll be a place where, when we have guests, we all end up hanging out at the end of the evening. But, that won't stop me from sandblasting, powder-coating, painting, stripping, rebuilding, etc.
