 Hi, I'm Owen Hannie and you're watching Ready to Renovate with Balders and Private Property. We're busy renovating this two bedroom apartment which has a single garage. This is not only useful for your car but it can also be used for storage. Many forget that the garage is actually part of your home. We gave this one a complete overall by making it fully functional despite its size. We started by transforming these dull walls and smoothing them out with rhino light. It was then sandpapered down and coated with primer to prepare the walls for painting. Durham's eye for colour Grayton Pebble was used for the sidewalls and Fide Ert's licorice for the back wall. We then used Durham's show floor polyurethane floor paint to protect the floor from daily wear and tear. The pegboard has been given the same colour as the wall to blend in. Natural wood shelves over pegboard were installed to provide additional storage and these lights offer sufficient lighting while finishing the look. The inspiration for the garage was order. That's my dream garage because my garage doesn't look like this at all. I just wanted a place where you've got hooks that's why I chose the pegboard where you can adjust the hooks and just hang everything up and have some shelves because very few people actually have anything in their garage. It's just boxes and a big mess and you know it's not. I also wanted to look up the garage to match the rest of the home and so it's why I chose the same wall lights and also the same colour. The garage doors were in pretty good condition so we only needed to sand it and varnish it to get the door looking like new again. This garage now looks slick and modern. We painted the floor with a special floor paint, installed covers at the back for storage as well as a pegboard system for those odd and ends you don't want laying around.
