Need advice on Garage Design (inside)

Ok, finally got the garage built! Now its time to decide on cabinets, work benches, etc. Unfortunately, blew my load on the garage, epoxy floor, so not a lot left in the budget for something like Moduline's. Will have to go with something like craftsman or gladiator, etc.

Garage is 22w x 34d. So very good size, esp on depth. As you can see from pics, i left the gable completely open up top so you get a much bigger vaulted ceiling type feeling. Plenty to do something cool back there, just don't know what. Open to suggestions, that aren't crazy expensive.

Thinking of doing a long work bench across the back, maybe 2 hang-cabinets on each side, will need room for a fridge on one corner. This all just seems a little plain though. I generally like things a little different. Looking for suggestions on how many cabinets, work bench, maybe some cool porsche banners or stickers up high on the wall (the classy kind). What do you guys think? Any other ideas?
thanks for the help!

That looks fantastic!

I would maybe wait -- save up -- I'd want to see a long bench and floor-to-ceiling cabinets on that back wall.

Maybe build them?

with that kind of space I would build a mezzanine. You can find some decent examples on the iPad app called Houzz

Thumbs up

Boy, having those tall ceilings! Yea, I'd go for a mezzanine and perhaps a lift!

There is a LOT of potential there. Have fun with the planning. Sent you a PM with a site that you have to visit before you start.

That is a beautiful structure. I like the 2 single doors.
Floor is cool.

I have gladiator cabinets and really like them a lot. Reasonable price for a good looking and functional product. I couldn't see the use of 'high end' cabinets like moduline when they just need to look nice and hold crap.

I also got the maple workbench and powerstrip.

As for decorations, I went with pictures that I've taken at car events plus some signs and banners. See below (and click on the pics for full resolution, especially for the panorama):
