Great thread. I too am looking for ideas. I have plenty in my head but it's always great to see others because I'l also steal/borrow incorporate some of the ideas seen here into mine when I build it when I finish off my basement. As for now, until I finish the garage, I'm not allowed

to finish off the basement. It's a little further along that this pic, the roof is done. This year I hope to install the garage doors and windows and frame the exterior in preparation to log siding it to "match" the house.
So again, until I'm done putting $ into the garage, I'm almost embarrassed to show my basement....I do have Superior Walls, 9' in preparation of finishing off the whole basment. The logs in the background will be a log bar/kitchenette area. I can't wait.
And just for spite.
