We don't usually get excited over stuff like this, since personal garages aren't common among urban apartment-dwellers such as ourselves. But we couldn't help but enjoy some of the great storage ideas in this article, that we might be able to manage just as well on a mud porch.












It's going to be tough to clean the spiderwebs out of that garage.

My guess is there will be fewer spiderwebs in that garage, because it will probably get used more than most.

Some of those slat wall systems are pretty cool.
Ikea cabinets in the garage too--why not!

Most of the things on this blog arent for urban apartment dwellers but that never stopped you.

I agree that it looks good, but 99% of people actually park their car(s) in them. So no, you don't get very much usable space to do all these beautiful things in them. This looks more appropriate for the shed.

I wonder where in Canada this guys lives. Here in Toronto, with all the damn snow, it makes it pretty hard for me to want to leave my car out on the street.

Is a mud porch something that comes with San Francisco apartments?

A lot of older San Francisco residences have enclosed porches. I usually see them off of the kitchen. Sometimes people use them as dining rooms.

maybe they don't own a car.

In toronto it's not unusual to have laneway parking, which means you have a small garage that is entirely separate from the house. If you don't have a car or very much space, why waste that space as a garage? This isn't even the nicest conversion I've seen. Anyhow, even if it's not an apartment it is urban.
