The Garage Gets a Facelift

This garage isn't a thing of beauty.  My guess is it was built in the 1940's, when cars looked a lot different and we had far fewer garden gadgets that needed to be stored.  It has a wooden floor, so I don't think I'd ever park a car in it.  But it provides great storage space that a new owner will want to utilize. We don't have a lot of budget to spend here, but want to make it a bit more attractive!

The sagging door makes me crazy!

The side view isn't any better - although it has a newish roof, so it's nice and dry inside.



The first part of the facelift - the guys swapped out a couple of the doors and windows - and it's already looking better!  It's also getting a coat of paint to match the house.  Oh, and we'll do a bit of landscaping to really make it prettier.


A friend had given me a few sections of antique lattice a few years ago.  I used two sections on a previous project, but saved one for the future.  This is a perfect spot for it!  It adds so much charm.  


The guys went to work on the sagging front doors.  Now they have new hinges and close more more easily.  Big upgrade! 

And last, but not least, the garage got a fresh coat of paint and a bit of landscaping.  Now it looks pretty sweet when you're sitting on the deck!
