Garage Makeover*

.
" my-my-my...how cute is this! "
... The 250 sq foot home in Seattle that was converted recently from an old garage. Michelle de la Vega acted as her own general contractor, and spent only $32,000 for the entire renovation.~Wow Lady! I'm certainly impressed! Check out the entire article and more garage-now home sweet* home tour here.

Helllloooo LenoreNeverMore my love! Well this home certainly brings a whole new meaning to 'living in the garage'! Oddly enough I am sitting here in the Seattle area as I type & was so pleased to read that this was built here in the gorgeous N.W.
Thanks for the link to this fab project. You make for one fine guest blogger my friend and sending you hugs all the way from Seattle xoxo

I love this. It gives me such ideas for the garage we just bought (with the house of course). It is like this, a separate wooden structure in the back of the house. The husband is talking about all the storage space and I am thinking "a garage of my own -- studio/office/hideway."

What a gorgeous little space! My favorite thing about it is how it opens up to the outside like that. Love that.

That is amazing! I have so much respect for Michelle for handling it all herself. When we bought our house, our now-living room had recently been converted from a garage. It has beautiful cathedral ceilings and tons of light. Totally made our house a home.
