LOL! Much happiness to you in your homey garage.

In response to cazpumpkin and others who were asking about "why" the simple reason is that the guest room in the house was tiny and right next to my parents' bedroom. It was just a little too much like being back in high school for my tastes and I missed having my own furniture and "stuff" that was all in storage in the garage anyway. It's air conditioned (a must here in Texas) and has a nicely finished floor (not plain concrete) and I get to spread out and have privacy. Not to mention I'm right next to the pool now! :) The pic in this post are from the first weekend of my garage conversion about a month ago and I just finished the final touches yesterday so I'll post some more photos soon to show some fun craft projects I did for accents as well as how I used inexpensive electrical conduit and bulk rate bed sheets to create cool pseudo-walls to hide the corner still used for storage. Thanks for all the positive feedback! Posted on 07/30/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Garage Turned Into A Home By mississippiqueen (Guest Post) great job!!! good use of imagination and ingenuity.

Nothing is nicer than someone who puts in effort to make change for the better. And you did just that. Please continue. I promise you, it will continuously reward you thru life! Way to go in Texas!

Sounds like you are a very independant person who just needs a little help. I once lived in my parents barn, after a few years of living on my own. They had space for me in the house, but I needed the alone time and I did cleaning and cooking differently from my mom and just wanted to be home, but away from home at the same time. My parents thought of the idea of me living in the barn to intice me moving back. You have a good imagation for decorating. Keep up the good work. With determation YOU can do anything.

You 'sound' enthusiastic in your description of your new quarters and eager to continue fixing it like you want it. I would venture to say your parents are well-pleased with you and all the effort you have put into your project. Thank you for being a wise young person who takes responsibility for herself/himself. We need more like you.

I would love to see what you could do to an actual apt/house. Good job and good luck in college!

Contact Since this is your home garage it probably won't matter - but in some places FYI it is a violation of the law to live an a garage. I had a friend who had a little house with a cottage in the back and she got in trouble for renting it out because it wasn't zoned for multiple occupancy.
