The builders are soon finished with our new stable/garage. I am really looking forward to move into this new heaven of creativity. My task will be to fix the inside and a useful interior in the garage. I guess I will spend some time during cold winter months in there so of cource I would also take the chance to make it look nice. Really like the vintage look of Heart of England Morgan's garage (just seen the outside).

Can anyone please share links/photos to inspiring vintage garages (work benches, cabinets, tool trolleys....).

Had 30 litres of quality wall paint (mixed wrong colour) from a friend long time ago, thought it might be useful (hasn't paint started to be pretty expensive?). Opened up the paint today and it was still OK...and to my happy surprise: Sports White/Ivory laugh2

Unfortunately I can not do that much with the exterior but the interior is open for creative solutions party

How about a commission painting of your Morgan to hang on the walls of your garage?
I offer a 20% discount to TM members,

You need some old style enamel signs like "Shell" etc to put on the wall. A collection of those old style oil jugs that Castrol use to do...you can still get them
try places like Holden Holden Classics

Have a look at Longstone Tyres Longstone Tyres they have some great slightly saucy old adverts for free!

If you have room, an old battered sofa and a coffee machine is a good idea!

Oh....and to go with the Morgan, a Pashley Guvnor classic bicycle, 1930's style and handmade in England not that far from Malvern by a company that was around in the early Morgan years! Pashley

Best thing you could do is fill a plastic bin with popcorn and watch movies on TCM. Some of the old films have amazing (ordinary for the times) garages. Lots of inspiration.
