Just showing off the new paint job on my workbench and storage area in my garage. As long as we've owned the place the entire thing has been coated with a displeasing red brick-like color (which can still be seen on the door at the top). My friend Jon and I utilized leftover paint from a half dozen other projects and ended up with what you see here. I was happy that it turned out so fun and even a bit mid-century-ish.

As you may have noticed, it's also a haven for my ancient electronics. I think that every garage could use a beat up old radio, a tv that picks up two channels (at least until everything goes digital next year), and a turntable for playing flea market LPs. So I've got the cool workspace; now I just need to learn how to fix something.

That looks really great. A perfect place to take on something from Vintage Projects!
ReplyDeleteCool! Looks kind Mondrian in a way...
ReplyDeleteHey have you guys seen this on ebay? It's an awesome combo..

vintage reader- those are very cool. I could definitely see myself and my boy trying to build a classic soap box racer.
ReplyDeletejody- very true! I could have really done so with some primary colors.
anonymous- I have not and it looks like good stuff.
Your "Simpsons" reference didn't go unnoticed!
ReplyDeletemoe: a garage? la-di-da mr. frenchman.
homer: what do you call it moe?
Moe: i call it a car-hole!
Haha! Yes. I was hoping somebody would be brilliant enough to pick up on that. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that bit cracks me up every time.
Huh?! Was I the only one thinking "Partridge Family"?
ReplyDeleteLove the car hole. Love the blog.
Cheers!
beth, that's actually exactly what my wife said when she first saw it.
