10 Years of HGTV Dream Home Garages

A modern mountain lodge was chosen for HGTV Dream Home 2011 where the garage exterior features an attractive gable end, eco-friendly poplar bark siding and hemlock timbers that were cut and milled locally. The gable end window conforms to the rest of the residence, giving the impression of a two-story living space.

The interior enjoys substantial light provided by subtle recessed lighting, two six-arm chandeliers and the gable end window. The ceiling's copper paint and walls' gray-stained pine siding complement the hemlock beams to bring the warm autumn palette of the outdoors inside.

HGTV Dream Home 2012 uses carriage-style garage doors to harmonize with the farmhouse vibe of the home's design. The corrugated metal overhang supported by timber trussing completes the rustic look.

The garage interior is focused on organization through a dedicated workspace corner and locker-style cabinetry to keep lawn equipment and sports gear neat and out-of-sight. Two trumpet chandeliers and sizeable recessed windows provide light as well as design in the space.
