How great is this space? It's the site of a 30th birthday party, thrown by Savory Sister, Wesley Shaw (details here, from Garden and Gun). It's also entirely reasonable inspiration for me. We have a garage, Cooper built me a beautiful, long wooden table, and I have about a trillion Christmas lights that would be easy to string. And let's talk about this: I could make that sign! Cooper could (easily) build that bar! We could use chalkboard paint to turn an old door into a menu board! This is so happening. The last time we had dinner in our garage, it was crabs on top of plywood. But that doesn't mean this won't happen, as soon as it's warm enough to sit out there without gloves on.
