Garage Overview

I'm not sure why we decided to call this barn "The Garage", but it's closest to the house, painted the same color, and doesn't appear to have housed animals in the recent past... so Garage it is!

I'm making a "picking garden" on the side,
for flowers I can cut & bring inside.

It's in relatively good shape- though currently quite messy!  And that's all us... it was completely clear when we moved in almost a year ago.  I hope to get it at least straightened out this summer.

The first floor mess isn't TOO bad... mostly just the kids' toys scattered about.  
Shouldn't take too long to clean this part up! 

A couple of cool little details:

I love the style of the doors!

I have big plans for this shelf!  --->
It was left here by the previous owners.  I think that once it's cleaned up, it would look really cute in my son's Nautical theme bedroom.

This old hand-made crank with cord
must have attached to a generator,
since there isn't any power run in here.

And there's an upstairs... though we need to add a handrail to the stairway!

More chairs!

 

I have all kinds of projects to be worked on up here.  I might claim the upstairs as my own little area :o)  I've been checking out pictures on Pinterest, and fell in love with the idea of white-washing the walls, beams and ceiling.  The hardwood floor would be really nice if cleaned up a bit!

Yet another far-off project I can dream about :o)

Check out this picture of the garage from the 1987... I think it looks much better in blue!
