Garage to Home Office

The Challenge: How can you renovate a dilapidated garage on the original 528-square-foot foundation?

The Solution: Turn part of the space into a home office getaway and keep the rest for storage.

"For those who work at home, the garage can be a great getaway," asserts homeowner Virginia Hendrick. When she learned that her hometown would require rebuilding her outdated garage on the existing foundation, Virginia knew she had a challenge on her hands. Windows, an updated door, and shutters transform the previously plain building's exterior.
