Themed Garages

[urbanmaser]

I have a very talented friend who takes your up and down four wall garage and turns it into a shrine for your beloved cars. He also customises offices or living rooms with automative memrobilia.....for example your office chair might be a bucket seat from a Gransport but I have seen the work he does on garages and you would be amazed at what a transformation can be acomplished from wall painted murals of your favourite marque (in our case Maserati) to classic car membrobilia including antique petrol pumps to wall mounted sculptures that might include a genuine front end section of your favourite car

Anyways his site is worth a look at http://www.themedgarages.com/

Thought that might be Naff Peter, but tastefully done with a reasonable budget....really looks the part.

Must think about extending the garage and robbing our local PO!!!

Frank most garages are forbidding places where the car is parked in the company of acres of junk and mess and I include mine in that description. What he does is to create a room fitting for the car to be kept in.

Yes.....there was a Citrophile over her who had a glass fronted garage for his DS........never saw it mind you but a good 15 yrs ago....it was being talked about

forget the car but i like what the owner has done with this garage, looks very cool and retro with the old fashioned fuel pumps etc.....

 

[Parisien]

Just what is that........sorry...but that combo doesn't cut it for me.................

What do you like in a themed garage then Frank??

 

[Parisien]

Must be a very drool worthy car.......and the theme whether modern or classic/vintage tasteful and in keeping with the room/garage.........plus owner must dress the part too.....

[GransportFan1]

Well a classic car with that sort of clobber in the pic above would look at home surely???

 

[Parisien]

Yes...just not that car........what is it.........................yuck!

[Parisien]

Corvette.......!?....not a fan of any USA car!

[GransportFan1]

Yes i said that in the original post "forget the car but i like what the owner has done to the garage"

 

[Parisien]

Ok....so stick something appropriate in there.......passes....

Would love to do my garage out like that.......Not sure Liz would agree before a new kitchen though

 

[GransportFan1]

Is the kitchen a necessity?? if not the garage is

 

[urbanmaser]

More exciting than a brick wall garage..........the theme can be built to any car

Garage themes

They're ok, but for folk with a little less real estate these are fun:
