Driver? Up. Camera? On. Download? Complete.

Well here we go folks. The aforementioned cabinets that took so much time to complete. Most of the garage is put back together and on Monday, (camera driver willing) I will put the formal garage photo's up with Lucille in her new rack.
I finally decided on common wall paneling for the interior framing. Partially due to cost and partially the ability to form the deminsions best to fit. The little white piece you see in the bottom box of the right cabinet is an anchor to the post we had to work around.

This was taken without flash so you can see how we matched the outside of the cabinet to the expensive laminate on the professional cabinets behind it. When the garage is all put away the things behind the lockers will be gone.
Lucille's new home and additonal pegboard to hang bags, hats, goggles, etc. On the left in the background is one of the cabinets with work area built in. The dark brown is pegboard which allowed me to keep a good flow or scheme in the garage.

A better view. The cabinets are divided into three areas. The bottom is for baskets which will hold all our shoes. Then the seat which is getting pillows today. The middle portion is for sitting and having room to hang a jacket or umbrella. Mighty Mo has the middle cabinet with the lowest seat for him to climb on. We can lift this as he gets older. The top area is for knick knacks, probaby put a basket tray up there to. The area behind the cabinet is a single car garage area with carpet on the ground. All the stuff in that area will be put away. The floor has an industrial epoxy that can not be damaged, not the thin stuff at Home Depot.

Mighty Mo had to come out and help so we gave him a telescoping magnet to pick up loose screws. He decided to add the ear muffs on his own. Next to him is the primary work bench with peg board on the wall. Again this is usually very neat.

Well thanks for being patient.

Wow - now THAT rocks. I didn't think you could improve on the original, but those cabinets look incredible!

That's awesome! I wish I were handy enough to do something like that in my garage. What kind of flooring is that in there? It almost looks like tile?

Now, that's what a garage should look like. And Mighty Mo is freakin' adorable!
