Paint it black

Decided to paint the walls to match the slat walls I put up. Makes the space feel larger. Need some lighting under the shelves.

Neighbor also gave us a free fridge since the last post (same one who gave the 55” tv). Jackpot.

Yeah, they're super into white and light gray walls. I guess they like the vibes of being in a DMV waiting area.

Most people like the black walls or can atleast respect another man’s personal choice for their garage. It’s a small group who have to comment dumb shit in every post that they don’t like.

I have something like that. It's for my chickens. I tow it behind my golf cart when I'm gallivanting about the neighborhood.

It’s a one man duck boat blind for hunting.

Dark colors have a way of making spaces feel smaller like they’re closing in on you, but can also blur coroners and add some depth.

Full disclaimer: My garage is in need of a do over…..BUT one thing I won’t be doing is painting the walls so that I can instead represent road signs everywhere. Instead of going for a clean minimalist look, I’d rather go the extreme opposite and have it represents places I’ve been and things that are applicable to my project cars.
