Book Reviews of Your Garagenous Zone: Innovative Ideas for the Garage
Book Review: The de facto resource for any garage organization project!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is simply the best first step you can take before you tackle that garage. Whether you're an experienced pro or a do-it-yourselfer looking for great ideas, West provides reviews for all kinds of organization products.
What I really liked about this book was that it helped me personalize my garage. It's an attached 3 car garage, facing the street. I like to keep the door open in the warmer months, and I spend a good deal of time working in the garage. I needed to park my cars, motorcycle and various lawn care machines safely and still accommodate my hobbies (restoring old woodworking machinery, metal working and wood working). The product information and excellent photos gave me some great ideas on how I could make my garage/workshop functional, while satisfying my wife's desire to have a great looking entry to our home.
If you have a garage that's in need of professional help, get this book!
Summary of Your Garagenous Zone: Innovative Ideas for the Garage
Not simply a storage unit or holding space for cars, the garage is reconceived in this innovative design book as a "flex" space for family members that can be clean, organized, and functional (and still house cars). Wall organizers, garage cabinets, and an ergonomically designed workbench are among the suggestions described and illustrated through a case study of how one family reinvented their garage from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Creative ideas for making the garage into a multipurpose room include placing a television on a wall swivel and moving the treadmill into the garage to create a family gym. Feng shui tips, an overview of garage-design trends over the past 100 years, and speculations about how garages will look in the year 2020 provide a revealing perspective on the importance of transforming the dark, dingy cavern in American homes into a bright, desirable living space.General Books
