Garages

If anything, sine the publication of J.B. Jackson's The Domestication of the Garage, garages have become even more home like. As mentioned in the section, i think everyone can recall a party which was held if only partially in the garage, or an evening where your father and his friends only left the garage to use the bathroom, but new homey details are available. Doityourself.com explains how one might add visually appealing tile to their garage, example:

(seriously?)

Screens are also available to increase the comfort of hanging out in the garage:

I also thought it very interesting that when Jackson wrote The Domestication of the Garage he noted the change of having a "mud room" which went between the garage entrance and the rest of the home, but i found a web site which addressed the practicality of attaching the garage to a bedroom. (Call me closed minded, but i cant imagine wanting my bedroom attached to a room that is clean once a year with a hose).

While my garage is still used mainly for storage of car, lawn care supplies and my father when he wants to smoke cigars i suspect that these suggestions mean the garage will only become more a part of the home.
