It is hard to believe that this spacious living room was once a simple garage. Converting a garage into a usable living space, if done with care, can be matched in with your home for a seamless finish. In many homes the garage takes up some of the most valuable real estate on the property. Often the garage is the first thing you see when you drive up and it is connected right into the heart of the house just off the kitchen. The garage also often has the best views on the property and blocks the view from the rest of the house. This room matched with vaulted ceilings and large windows serves as a wonderful spot to gather with family and friends.
