Renovations: Before: Garage

The large double garage is going to become our rumpus room - the kiwi equivalent of an American "den".


This will be my corner for a desk and sewing table. The shelves and bench will be reused in the shed.


The garage doors will be replaced with bifold doors to lighten up the room and will lead straight onto the drive. I'll probably prettify the driveway with some pots of plants. Where the shelves are now, we'll install a projector screen for movies - the sun is at the other end of the house in the afternoon.

The walls and ceiling will be insulated, gibbed and stopped (plastered) but the metal beam will be remain exposed and, if I get my way, it'll be used to display a few choice ornaments.


Later on, when we have older teenagers, we might banish them from upstairs and set them up in the minor dwelling and rumpus room to leave us in peace.
