The Radical Six Part Toaster designed by Matt Gossington is a contemporary toaster that will make your counter more cheerful even on those gloomy mornings. This modern toaster has six separate compartments, so you can make several pieces of toast within minutes. The compartments swing open, which makes it easier to retrieve the hot bread so no more burning your fingers. The heat is also distributed evenly so the bread is completely toasted.

This colorful gadget might make you do more toasting even when it’s not breakfast, because the toaster can sit on the counter all of the time and serve as decoration. Your family and friends are sure to question what it is and how it works.

The Heavy Lift Garage Storage System can help you take advantage of all of the space you have in your garage. It’s easy to forget about the storage possibilities near your ceiling. With this lift system, you can easily keep items up out of the way, but you can conveniently get to them whenever you need to.

This is the perfect spot to store your bulky camping equipment, large plastic containers filled with your belongings, furniture, file boxes, big tools and other items that you can stack. This device can load and lift items up to a 12” ceiling.

This 12′ x 20′ x 8′ round car storage shed from the Car Guy Garage can fit a large sport utility vehicle with ease. No longer do you have to worry about the weather destroying your car. This shed has a heavy duty galvanized finish on an all steel frame, so it’s built to last and withstand regular wear and tear. Because of the easy bolt together design, you can quickly have the shed up and ready to go.

In addition, this model has wind brace support on both sides, heavy duty grommets on the cover and doors, and heavy duty roly poly rope for the main cover tie down. This can be a safe place to store your vehicle if you don’t have a garage, especially in the fall and winter.

A garage with raised-panel doors, hardware and lighting fixtures that go with the colonial look of you home can add some style to the once plain garage. Material options include wood, steel, aluminum and fiberglass. The more economical materials are aluminum and fiberglass, but they can’t take too much abuse.

For the design, consider single-panel or sectional roll-up styles. If you live in an area that receives a significant amount of snow accumulation, you should go for the roll-up style.

Steel doors with glass are more modern, and accent lights above the doors can enhance their appearance. Frosted-glass panels can give you more privacy, and they mimic Asian-influenced architecture.

The Reznor V3 series model is gas-fired and available in 14 sizes. The 30,000-125,000 BTUH gas input are approved for homes. In addition, the UDAP heaters are 82-83% energy efficient. Since these heaters can be suspended in the corners of your garage, it makes them less visible. The model for 30,000 BTUH runs under $1,000.

There are several advantages to direct-vent heaters. First, the flue gas vent can be easily installed through the ceiling or wall to the outside. Second, sealed combustion heaters are the safest option. Third, they burn outdoor air, which reduces back-draft.

Instead of avoiding your garage in the autumn or winter months, you can actually enjoy your workshop or office and even wash your car whenever you need to.

Built-in cabinets are an easy way to store your basketball ball, skis, roller blades and even your gardening tools. Cabinets will give you more space where you need it most. Also, a bike rack can immediately restore order and prevent your children from leaving their bicycles where they don’t belong.

To reduce clutter on the floor, you can install hooks for hanging extra bike tires, rims, holiday decorations, etc. If you’re a handy person, also install a sturdy worktable and supply shelves. This will enable you to have a work zone where everything is in its place.

Lastly, brightly colored storage bins can cheer up the space and motivate you and the family to keep it clean.

A breezeway between the garage and house offers a covered passageway, which you will appreciate when the weather is bad. Plus, depending on how it’s built, it can give you some privacy too. If it’s large enough, you can setup some lounge chairs so you can enjoy the front or backyard too. Or at the very least, you can decorate it with potted plants.

Breezeways can also act as a gatehouse or hallway that connects the house to the garage as well as providing a picturesque intersection between the inside and outside. Lastly, they can become a complete outdoor sitting area. Adding a high ceiling can protect you and your guests from the sun during the midday.

Today we’re looking at the mobile garage workstations from Moduline. Their modular aluminum cabinets come with casters, so you can push them to whatever corner of the garage will work for you.

The company has several options in their mobile workstation line. The one shown here offers overhead cabinets, a 7-drawer tool cabinet, a recycle/waste bin, a 24″ x 48″ aluminum counter top, and optional under-cabinet lighting for when your projects last into the night. For those who enjoy color, the mobile storage system is available in a white, blue, red, or black baked enamel finish.

Starting around $2,500 the aluminum workstations are a tad (okay, a ton) more expensive than the simple Finley wooden workbench mentioned above, but they should last for a long time.

These garage floor tiles from SwissTrax come in several styles and unlike epoxy flooring, they can easily be installed by the homeowner. You can mix and match colors and styles to create a unique (and colorful) floor that will stand up over time (a 12 year warranty is included). If something does happen to a section, you’d just need to replace a couple of tiles instead of redoing the entire floor.

Some of the styles, such as Ribtrax, feature an open profile (holes), so they’ll drain.

And for those who like environmentally friendly home improvements, the garage floor tiles are made from 100% prime metal which means you can recycle them at the end of their lifetime. Also the company says they use zero waste in the manufacturing process and choose polypropylene over PVCs.

You may still be able to find a workbench that can fit into a limited area. For example, this folding workbench from Garrett Wade has a desk area that can be tucked back against the wall for storage.

“Now, those homeowners or woodworkers who are especially tight on space can have a solid folding bench to work on that will ‘disappear’ along the wall when the space is needed for other activities (such as parking the car).”

Made from red beech and high-quality beech-faced composite board, the workbench not only saves space, but it’ll look pretty good in your garage too.
