Great use for the upper floor of a garage
http://www.smithandvansant.com/

This studio space above the garage serves the clients needs for her custom card making hobby. Utilizing the kneewalls we were able to carve out lots of great storage space with drawers and shelves. The sink is a salvage soapstone piece. The skylights provide both fresh air and help illuminate the space wonderfully during the day while the medium pear pendants from George Nelson and the Cirrus Ceiling Fan/light by Modern Fan Company help move the air and illuminate in the evenings. A great space for designing custom cards!

Smith & Vansant Architects PC There is a 4 1/2" shelf we added behind the sink to accommodate the plumbing fixtures, and it is handy to store things too. This image should help.

Granite Grannies @spaul, you can do a soapstone sink with counters on the side. You can have it made any size you want:

Smith & Vansant Architects PC Hello,
This is a salvage soapstone sink from Vermont Salvage in White River Junction, VT. We added a very modern Dornbracht faucet and new base cabinet.
Hope that helps!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
This is the studio across from the guest room; it sits atop the mudroom/garage portion of the house. The client's hobby is making custom cards, and this studio full of storage and light is a wonderful workspace. The skylights let in natural light, and also open to let in the fresh air. More vintage plumbing fixtures were used here; the shallow sink on the right is made of soapstone and Smith designed a custom base for it. In addition, an antique ribbon rack holds the client's ribbon collection. In contrast to that, George Nelson's midcentury modern pendant lights and a modern fan hang overhead.
added by Becky Harris to Consider a Salvaged Sink
The same homeowner had been saving this soapstone basin for her renovation, and it works wonderfully in her craft room. The architect, Pi Smith, designed a custom base to hold it. See the rest of this home
Pack up postholidays. When it's time to put everything away, taking a little extra time will make life much easier the next year. But there is no need to spend money on specialty containers — egg cartons make great ornament holders, twinkle lights wrapped around cardboard will stay tangle free and rolls of wrapping paper can be easily stored in a bucket or an umbrella stand. Tell us: What are your best tips for sorting, storing or organizing deep storage?
