Thank you for the welcome and the suggestions.
My goal is to start remodeling at the end of the summer and I've been toying with a number of 'crazy' ideas -- I kind of like the mirrors on the walls down at the local Ferrari dealer (makes it look like there are lots of cars) and was thinking about trying to do something similar, at least on a side wall. Mirrors would be a little strange in a garage though. I'll probably go with linoleum or tile for the floor... we'll see.
