In California, where the climate is temperate and houses are small (and expensive), it's common for homeowners to annex the garage as living space. This parking-space-turned-garden-room in West LA by David John and Krista Schrock of DISC Interiors might be the prettiest garage conversion we've seen yet.
To see more of the firm's work, go to DISC; to read David John's blog, go to You Have Been Here Sometime.
