A clothes closet and ensuite bathroom (with large walk-in shower) make this guest suite the perfect oasis. To see the entire main floor renovation, please see project photos on our Houzz profile (TMR Kitchen, TMR Garage Conversion and TMR Music Room/Library/Family Room).

A few more photos of the bedroom.

Rebecca Mitchell does it again! Beautiful work; bright, intimate and welcoming. Who wouldn't be comfortable in this room?? Wonderful.

Beautiful!

Wow, this is stunning. Definately would never have though this is in a converted garage. I absolutely adore the blue and the cream contrasting!! This is beautiful. Amazing work Rebecca!

Nice work, Rebecca! Hey, where did you find that great light fixture? Was it through Revive? I love it!

Thanks, Joanne. The light fixture was from Multiluminaire:) Lucked out...

Tres cool, Bella!

I'm a relocated TMR'r ;-(
Nice!!

Rebecca - very nice job!

Thank you @Cast Glass - I love your work!

Looks great!

I think this addition looks beautiful, it looks like every inch of the space was utilized efficiently and the exterior door which makes it into more of a private guest house is definitely a bonus. I'm assuming this was a three car garage to start and the house owners decided to go down to two. My only question is, does this add value to the home by adding another room and bathroom or subtract value with the lost garage space?

What is the name of the color in the bedroom? Sorry if it was mentioned and i missed it.

Awesoem!

Where did you get the chandelier and bed spread from?

@aimran - the chandelier is from Uttermost (through Multiluminaire if you are in Montreal) and the bed spread is from Linen Chest here in Montreal.

@NatalieBaker - the paint colour is BENJAMIN MOORE MER BLEUE 2063-60 and no I didn't mention it. Hope this helps!

@mrsprettyman - thank you for your comments and questions. Actually this was a single-car garage that was converted into a small guest house. My clients are very environmentally conscious and plan to use their existing older car until it is no longer functional after which they do not plan to replace it. The guest house is intended primarily for visits from out of town in-laws and while this might not be the first choice for most people (not having a garage) it was what was best for this family. Whether it increases or decreases the value of the property I'm not sure. It's something a realtor would be able to comment on - Danita? I do know that many Montrealers with garages often do not use them for their cars but rather as additional storage. Hope this answers your questions:)

omg..can you come to my house! lol

@Maria - sure! where you do you live though?!

What is the a proximit budget for a single garage to be converted to a guest room, and the duration?

Thanks

Do we need the city's permission?

Depending on your location, most municipalities would require a permit for projects involving structural work. In order to get the permit, the City's plan check would verify that you are allowed to add a guest room to your garage or convert it.

The cost to convert a garage will depend on many factors such as; is it a conversion or an addition, sqft of the new guesthouse, is it a detached garage or attached, is it finished (drywalled on the inside), is there insulation, etc.

It should be around $50K for a conversion and about -$120K for an addition.

Beautiful! Do you have pictures of the finished exterior?

@FrankLoCurto - yes watch this space I'll post some exterior pics asap
