We converted our garage into a bar. When the house was built, the garage had fully finished and insulated walls which is not that common in some tracts. For years it was a junk drawer. So two summers we took everything out, painted the walls and ceiling turquiose and the floor grey. The furniture is mostly period correct and purchased in pristine condition from thrift stores. We found two period correct (all late 50's early 60's feel) at overstock.com. We installed easy to assemble cabinets from Lowes down one side of the garage for storage. Lighting is a mixture of from the period lamps found at thrift stores and REWIRED (that's important and easy to do) and IKEA. The bar is a great piece of furniture we found at an antiquue store. We call it the Telstar Lounge. If anyone is interested in more about this, please send me a message.
