The Great Garage trend I first wrote about over a year ago seems to be gaining traction. Whirlpool, wanting to find a way to sell more appliances, has seen some success with their GladiatorGarageWorks line of specialized appliances, storage systems, workbenchs and wall panels. Americans are discovering the garage as the next space to get a makeover.

We're still waiting to see the growth of the vehicle turntables and car stacking systems that I think will find their way to the US soon.

In the Great Garage II I mentioned that the "hisandherification" of everything in the home was expanding to include his and her garages. His garage is about horsepower, yard and driveway maintenance and vehicle restoration while her garage is about the kids sports equipment and gardening tools. A generalization I admit but a trend in the making here.

The rugged masculine lines of the Gladiator system just won't do in her garage. A system like this from Premier Garage seems to be much more refined and gender neutral.

Featuring simulated granite flooring and sleek cabinetry these systems seem like a must for anyone serious about pimping that sweet new five car.
