What do you do with an old garage that you never use except to store your bike and some tools? Well, if you've got a tiny backyard and are low on "outdoor" space, and you're Suzanne Dimma, host of HGTV's The Style Dept. and home design director of wish, you transform it into a chic indoor/outdoor room. With a little green paint, a pair of natural fiber rugs, a trio of butterfly chairs, a vintage dolly, some plants, and a fan, she transformed the unused garage, making the house's outdoor space feel three times as big.

Talk about Summer Style! I'm really impressed with the transformation that a few simple furnishings has achieved! I guess it helps to have a garage that's nearly empty; I've been to many that are overloaded with junk and used as storage (not for cars), which would be a major task in itself to clear out. Do you have a garage that needs a little love? Would you consider making over your garage in this way?

If I had a garage, I'd store my car in it, but I love this idea.
1Wow! That's an amazing transformation and a perfect outdoor entertaining area. Love it.
Of course, this post makes me feel kind of "left out" of the areana of possibities because our two car garage is actually home to two vintage autos [Teddy. a 1939 Graham and Howard, a 1955 Hudson Hollywood Hornet] along with a variety of car care equipment and tools.
2this is amazing, but my hubby and I have 3 cars and a 2 car garage...not for us
3Wow that's very cool. I don't have a garage, only a storage shed. Not sure I would do this myself but I like the affect.
4Oh my god!!! The "after" is downright shocking. I love it.
5i gasped to myself. nuff said!
6I have a garage. I would take the before over mine!
I LOVE the after.
