Personalize it!

If you're a car guy or girl you have a need to collect mementos from your car adventures. Literature from a car dealer, ticket stubs from the races, posters from a show...things that

remind you of your passion for all things automotive. The garage is your space where this collection resides. There are no rules. It doesn't require a designer to match colors and styles. If you like it, then it stays. Once you get started you might be surprised how your collection grows. Besides the stuff you accumulated over the years, you may find yourself now looking at things while out and about and wondering where they will fit in your garage. Ebay might become a good place to find items from the past such as signs, banners, clocks, thermometers, and even car parts that would look great hung on a wall. I recently saw a picture of a garage where the owner had a collection of Ford flathead parts on his wall. So be adventurous and personalize your garage. If it reflects your interests, then it works. If it documents your life, it has meaning. And if it makes you smile, life has been good.
