Decided to use the holiday weekend to go over my garage and repaint it. It isn’t anything special but I wanted to get it looking respectable…you know since I have a garage queen, it should have a nice home. Well here are some progress pics and I am looking for some ideas on how to organize it. I used an Epoxy Acrylic paint for the floor with the decorative speckles and I plan on putting a coat of clear on it to help it hold up. As you can see it is pretty small…about 24’ x 13’ (standard 1 car) and space is limited. I have an old shelf (in pic below) and a few old kitchen cabinets that I want to use. The only thing is I don’t know what color scheme I want to go with for the shelves and cabinets. I was thinking maybe a light silver/gray and maybe paint the cabinet doors a dark gray. Any is ideas on color schemes or ways to help organize will be appreciated.

With a gray floor I’d do some kind of gray color scheme like you said. Is there enough room for some overhead storage for stuff that doesn’t get used often? ---

The ceiling is only 7.5 feet high, so an overhead storage might cut it close. I was thinking in the back corner mybe put a high deep shelf to help with storage. ---

I will probably be doing the same thing to my garage very shortly. This is the color scheme I am going to go with as well as in my big garage. Just to give you a few visual ideas ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/bcubed/Garage/IMG_6120.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/bcubed/Garage/IMG_6120.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/bcubed/Garage/IMG_6121.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/bcubed/Garage/IMG_6121.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/bcubed/Garage/IMG_6122.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/bcubed/Garage/IMG_6122.jpg) ---
