The house is equally as nice. But it's actually my parents. I'm just lucky enough to live right down the street so I completly overtook two of the garages before they got a chance too
Couldn't let all that great garage space go to waste.

The upper garages have epoxy floor covering. The lighting sucks in them though, I'm working on installing a ton of flourescent lights. The lower garages have Diamond Clear floor covering. This stuff was great until I started working down there. The gas and coolant spills eat the Diamond Clear like no other. One day I want to move everything out of there and put down real epoxy covering.

I think I could qualify for the world's largest box collection too

They take up less space and look less cluttered if you put some of them inside each other and stack them against the wall, though. (I've got a wall in my apartment that's 2/3-covered with boxes 
)

After working in a few different shop layouts, I have come to the following conclusions:
1. You have can never have enough electrical outlets or light fixtures.
2. The ceiling needs to be closed in.
3. Paint the walls and ceiling which brightens up the whole shop
4. Lots of windows
5. Paint the floor
6. Make sure the workbench is heavy and bolted to the wall.
7. You can't have enough shelf / cabinet space.

Well I redid the old garage and while i still can't keep it clean I do have a nice place to park when I do clean it anyways here are the key things
1 paint walls and cleing with GLOSS white paint. It more reflective and cleans up easy
2 tile the floor HD had floor tile which is close to Race Decks flow though design for 1/3 the cost 8.99 for 10 sqft
3 Cabinets are your freinds
