Garage Conversion: converting a garage to a bed room
Want to see an example of how a home looks after the garage has been converted in to interior living space (like a bedroom or living room)? To see several pictures (from inside and outside) of a garage that was converted to a room, plus photos of the other renovations to prepare this home for resale, scroll down in this box. For more "after" pictures of conversions, click here: garage to bedroom conversions
First, here are before and after photos of what used to be the garage (from inside the house). A real estate investor bought this home (prior to renovating it and reselling it). On the left above is what the room looked like at first.
Where the garage door used to be, a bay window had been installed (and yes the cheap horizontal shades were broken and dangling on one side). A subfloor had also been built to prevent any exterior water leaks from flooding the room, but there were just exposed sheets of plywood over that. There are no signs that carpet or any other type of flooring was ever installed over the plywood. On the right above is a pictured of the finished room with new carpet, new walls, and a futon bed across from a big flatscreen TV (not shown).
Next, here are before and after pictures from the outside. Note again that these images do not show the original garage (because the property was bought and renovated after the garage was already converted in to a room). The picture on the right from the late fall shows the updated exterior (with a more consistent, more neutral color scheme).

Here's a garage converted fully to a bedroom (although that COULD be a glass garage door behind the curtains):

Still legally a garage, the addition of a loft in the back (over the laundry room) is for sleeping: (CLICK IT)

When converting this garage to a bedroom, guess what used to be where the windows are now? |
These bedroom windows were also installed across the opening for the garage doors: (CLICK IT)

Behind the screen of this bedroom are carriage-style garage doors (that swing outward in to the driveway).
| What's behind that portable wardrobe closet? Could it be a garage door?
