Just this year I converted our two car garage into my sewing room. I still have the hot water heater and washer & dryer out there, but that doesn't bother me. We just removed everything that wasn't related to my sewing into the other garage, painted the floor and put in a table for my sewing machines, and a high top cutting table from Joann's. In front of the garage doors, I have those heavy duty plastic shelving units with my tubs filled with stash and then I ran a PVC pipe from end to end, and hung stripped sheets to cover the shelving units. On the other wall I have those white cabinets from Target, full of stuff stacked on top of each other. The room really looks great. Don't go into the expense of converting the doors to windows, because than your taxes could go up, and if you ever did sell your home, it's back to a garage. Now I just close the door and no one sees my mess.
