Garage Transformed Into A Pop Up Shop

 Garage Transformed Into A Pop Up Shop

Okay so the idea to hold a sale jumped into my head a few weeks ago,and I had an idea about the possibility to transfom my garage into a pop up shop. But how was I going to transform my garage when it looked like this.

Garage Transformed Into A Pop Up Shop. This was so easy to do, and each year since setting it up it's been easy to transform it all over again.

Last week my family and I took off for a week of adventure. And the that time I kept thinking about how I could pull this off. This is a three car garage with the third door separate. The ceiling is 9ft,actually I think it may be 10 ft tall.

At first I thought about leaving the walls in my garage as is but they are not really pretty and would distract from the merchandise.

Garage Transformation

First thing that I did was paint my garage  walls a creamy white color, I used paint I already had on hand.

And to drape if off and cover up the mess in the third garage area I added painters tarp by adding furniture tacks.

Again I already had the tacks on hand but I did have to buy two tarps. I needed a bit more so I pulled out a tarp I already had,and was using for crafts.

The floors were still pretty yucky with oils stains so I covered the floors with a paper version of a painters tarp.

I think it was 3.50 for each paper tarp, I bought two but needed a third, so I went into my studio and found some rolled brown paper and laid that down. Just attaching them together with masking tape. I can’t even believe this is my garage!

I get tons of light in here because we have windows in our garage. I did have a  lace valence for each window,but for the sale I wanted something simpler so I added a cut piece of lace scrap to each window just held on with a tack.

I have been filling and fluffing this space for the past few days!

On the back of the garage on the wall I added a quilt top I found while treasure hunting last weekend. Everything in this garage is for sale with the exception of that quilt piece and my wood shoe rack. Unless I get an offer I cannot refuse.

You can see the tarp from this angle. I shot these photos with the garage door closed, I don’t want anyone around here peeking inside just yet 😉 As you can see my garage is filled to the brim of all kinds of fabulous vintage treasures!

Since I am a bit eclectic in my taste you will find lots of fun things. A little bit of farmhouse,a little French and a little shabby too!

This sweet cabinet was my daughters,I have had it since she was two! But it’s time to go into another home for someone else to enjoy. That’s the wonderful thing about vintage pieces. You can love them and enjoy them,and when your through they are still charming for someone else to enjoy.

I took many pieces out of my house,so it will be fun shopping for new things. I’m feeling the need to change just a bit.

Don’t worry I am not changing my style, I just need to freshen it up around here.

It must be the season,I know it’s still summer but I can feel fall in the air. It must be because my daughter will be back to school next week, as a freshman in high school.

    Your garage really looks like a cute shop now! You’ve done a great job transforming it. Wish I had a 3 car garage like that. We need one so badly with 3 of us driving here. I bet your neighbors will enjoy shopping at your sale. I love the cute blue table that you’re selling.

    It all look amazing!!! Can’t believe some of the pieces you are parting with – wish I lived close by. You are going to have a very successful day, your items are lovely – lots of luck!!!

    I am thinking of doing the same with my garage but not until next year, fingers crossed. Thanks for the inspiration, you did a fantastic job. I just hope to have the same vision you do, I lack in that department. Thanks again for sharing 🙂

    Anne, I WANT TO MOVE INTO YOUR GARAGE!!!! Oh there are soooo many things I want to own! The birdcage holder and chandaliers, wallpaper, and, and, and, and……

    Thanks you so much for sharing! A BRILLIANT idea!!!!! Wish I had your energy and talent!

    Oh boy do I wish I could be there but think Illinois might be bit of a stretch from western CO. I want that galvanized pitcher and the little blue table. Do you ship? I especially want galvanized pitcher, how much is it?
    Your new “shop” looks awesome, lots of hard work but so worth it for you. Nice, not to have to haul your stuff somewhere, can replenish if needed from your home. I need to do some purging but will have to wait til it gets cooler, just too hot out there to stand for hours in sun. My problem is I find things haven’t used for while and can think of ways to put to good use again, having something fresh to put out. Need desperately to get all my glass ware organized in boxes so know what’s where when I want to use something. Maybe even purge few things (don’t count on it tho). Obviously I have very hard time letting go of my goodies.
    Will you still use garage for shop in winter or park cars in garage? We’d like to get our shed cleared out enough so hubs could work in there in winter, no garage. We have a propane heater hubs used in MT in our pole shed to work in winter. Pole shed didn’t have floor so we’d put lots of cardboard down for him to work on. Hubs would come home from driving to work in shed for few days making things. Then after he left I’d sand and stain/or paint in shed if it wasn’t too cold out during day. Kept me busy to help pass time til he came home again.
    Have great time at your sale, hope it goes very well and you sell out.

      Thanks so much JaneEllen! If it’s not sold I will certainly ship it to you.I will be adding new items to my shop after the sale.I would love to keep this as a shop.But we have cold winters and the cars must go back into the garage.If all goes well this will be a yearly event!

    You’ve done a fabulous job transforming your garage into a charming spot for a sale, Anne! If I lived closer, I’d be sure to be first in line when the doors open. You have a fantastic selection of vintage treasures filling your space. I just love the old cabinet that was in your daughter’s room, and I’m sure it will be one of the first things to sell. I wish you luck in the first (of many?) sale in your new “shop”!!

    I can’t believe how you transformed your garage, Anne! It looks beautiful! It actually even looked fabulous before you painted it. Can’t imagine having a garage as neat as a pin. lol I don’t doubt that your sale will be hugely successful. You’ll have customers asking if you’re going to do it again. 🙂 I adooooore that sweet little blue table, btw! So cute!

    xoxo laurie

    Wow Anne…you made everything look so pretty, and pretty seems to be your style! I sure see a few things that I would love to have in there, but alas….way too far away! Good luck with the sale, I’m sure that you’ll do fabulous!
    Big hugs,
    Janet

  23. Judy says

    Wow, Anne. It looks so good. We were gone when you put this post out and I simply cannot enjoy it on my smart phone so had to wait to get home to the computer. Really looks like a great shop. Can’t wait to read ahead to see how it went..Happy Monday..Judy

    Amazing! I had a shop a few years ago but the expenses can kill you. I loved having my shop but was forced to close it. I miss it so much and would love to figure out a way to set something like this up at home. I really cannot convert my garage into a shop as we need the space but have considered getting a large shed that I could sell out of maybe on a monthly basis. I thought about doing a tag sale in my front yard this fall but I am trying to figure out how to deter yard salers from coming who want to buy things for a $1!

  26. Lory at Designthusiasm says

    Ok, that’s a big wow! If someone can do that to their garage, there’s no excuse for anyone to have poor interiors… 🙂 It’s amazing what a good backdrop of creamy white paint can do. (That’s essentially how I approached the bathroom reno I have up this week.) Then it’s just a matter of filling it up with pretty, and you’re good to go. The light streaming in helps too, but I love your merchandise and the flowers are a nice touch. Btw, if that crystal lamp doesn’t go, please let me know.

  30. Traci says

    I did the same thing in my big metal shop behind my house. I have had great luck with it! You have some great pieces!! You are in IL I’m in IA was wondering how far? LOL good luck I’m sure you will do fabulous!

    Hi Anne! Not only are you a creative and inspiring artist, you are a fabulous entrepreneur and savvy merchadiser! Using your garage for your for your Pop Up Shop is genius! You made it SO beautiful and all of your displays are “eye candy” for even the most scrutinizing shopper! I SO wish I lived close enough to attend your sale, I know it is going to be a huge success! My best,,,
