Ultimate Garage Makeover

Before

Avid outdoorsman Matt Smith loves his new Denver home, but he has never gotten around to making good use of his three-car garage. Originally intended to be the ultimate guy's hangout, this 30 x 40-foot space is instead overrun with sports equipment, mountains of camping gear and general clutter.

After
