Four Incredible Ways to Re-purpose Your Garage

For many homeowners, especially those without a car, the garage is a wasted space, a clutter of useless stuff you never had the heart to give or throw away. But if you don’t have a car or have a better place to park it, you could use your garage space so much better!  

Renovating your garage is not as expensive as you might imagine. You should start with air conditioning  (if you plan on using the garage as a living space) and replace your old, worn-out garage door with new ones sold by companies like  Rockstar Garage Doors.  

Sure, renovating your garage does take some money and effort, but the result can be well worth it. Although, it might be that you just need to spruce up your decor in order to give your garage a whole new look. For example, you could purchase some neon signs from websites like NeonMama.com to give your garage a modern and bright look - this would change the vibe of your space without major cost. In this article, we’ll give you a few ideas on how you can breathe new life into your old garage.

Boutique, Budget, and Luxury: Staycation Picks in the Metro


Hotel staycations have become more and more popular over the years and it’s easy to see why: there’s no extra cost for travel, you’re not “pressured” to go sightseeing, and you have access to a lot of amenities -- like a swimming pool and a large playground for children -- that you may not have at home.

Another benefit of hotel staycations is that a lot of hotels have special offers when you book during occasions and holidays. For example, moms and dads may get a complimentary spa treatment and a free haircut and shave when you book on Mothers’ Day or Fathers’ Day. Websites like Deal Grocer also give further discounts and packages that give you more value for money. These aspects add even more appeal to the already attractive concept of staycations.

Want to spend some time with your loved ones over the weekend or perhaps for a special occasion like a birthday? Here are three options for boutique, budget, and luxury hotel staycations that you will truly enjoy.

Eventually, though, Chef Lau's parents caught on."My parents found out that I quit college and they asked me if I was serious about cooking," he recalls. "I said that yes, I was, and they decided to send me to culinary school. back then, we didn't have {culinary schools in the Philippines}, so I went to the US to study at the Culinary Institute of America." Upon emerging as a full-fledged chef, he went on to work in kitchens in France and Australia. Eventually, though, chef Lau set his sights on the Philippines.
