Hi, I’m DeEtte, the Custom Garage Therapist Designer.

If you’ve got cars you love and a garage that doesn’t do them justice, you’re in the right place. And if you’ve just got a beautiful home that deserves better than a builder-grade box, you’re also in the right place. You don’t have to be a car collector to want something extraordinary. You just have to care.

I’ve been designing luxury spaces for 25 years. The last five have been all cars and fabulous garage spaces in high-end residential homes and car collector studios. In that time I’ve seen some of the nicest cars in this country, spec’d the lifts under them, and designed the rooms around them. 400 garage projects. $5,000,000 in product. Project of the Year three times. Designer of the Year, the OG. I know what works, what doesn’t, and what nobody is going to tell you before you spend the money. I will.

Here’s what I’ve learned about luxury homes. The kitchen gets the architect. The primary suite gets the interior designer. The garage gets whoever shows up with the cheapest epoxy and a box of cabinets from a big box store. All piecemealed together without a cohesive thought. And then you park a $150,000 car in it. That’s not a storage problem. That’s a design problem.

The homes I work in are extraordinary from the street to the backyard. The garage should be no different. I bring the same eye, the same standard, and the same obsession with getting it right to every square foot of that space. Floors, walls, lighting, cabinetry, doors, lifts, all of it. When I’m done it doesn’t look like a garage. It looks like the rest of your house. Because it should.

I work primarily in Metro Atlanta and the surrounding mountain and lake communities in GA, NC and SC where my clients vacation and play. But I’ve been known to travel for the right project. Reach out for a quick consult and let’s see how we fit.

Your garage is your true front door and your real foyer. Design it like one.

The HOA your cars actually want to live in. A Car Condo.

Garages that get wife approval!

A car condo is what happens when a collector stops apologizing for their hobby.

Fast Cars & Cute Boys

I didn’t go looking for car culture. It found me. Three laps around Road Atlanta in a champagne ’61 Corvette convertible and I was done. It reminded me of all the cute boys I got in trouble with growing up in Atlanta and the good times that followed.

Cars have always been part of my story. My dad had a cool dune buggy named Moondoggy, a Thing, a Model T, and loved lowriders. My older sisters’ boyfriends had muscle cars in the 70s. My crowd of 80’s bad boys had Datsun Z, BMW, Karmann Ghia, and Porsche obsessions. They totaled almost all of them. We are all lucky to be alive. It was always about who was in it, where it was going, and what it felt like to be alive inside that moment.

When I work with a serious car guy (or girl, yes, we are out there), I channel all of that into the spaces where these machines live. Every garage I design, I’m thinking about the car first. What does this car deserve? What kind of room makes you stop at the door before you even walk in? What lighting makes that paint sing at 10pm on a Tuesday when nobody else is around and it’s just you and the car?

I’m also out here hunting for my own. A 1970 Chevelle Malibu SS convertible. High gloss. Turbo-Hydramatic Automatic floor shifter. Power top. She doesn’t exist in my garage yet but she will. My quest starts in 2027. Stay tuned for details. I’ve got goals.

Some of us never slow down. And some of us are just getting started.

Dream Spaces for Dream Cars. This Is What I Do.

This is where car culture meets garage design. The lifts, the lighting, the cabinetry, the floors, the walls, the decor, the doors. All of it. I spec it, design it, and make it yours. Whether you’re housing a serious collection or just finally doing the space right, I design garages worthy of what lives in them.

Your Garage. My Obsession.

Square footage your accountant will appreciate. Your cars will love.

Not Every Great Garage Belongs to a Car Collector.

Some of my favorite projects have nothing to do with lifts or exotic cars on pedestals. They belong to people who refuse to let the garage be the ugly stepchild of an otherwise extraordinary home.

That offends me on your behalf.

I’ve done sleek storage builds for busy families who don’t want to pull in from a hard day and look at all that chaos. Fitness garages for MMA fighters, pro athletes, and yoga instructors. A horticulture sanctuary for a crazy plant lady. (Yes, I speak that language too.) A townhouse without a basement wine cellar garage. Brewmaster bars. Basketball courts. Cigars and cars lounges. Artist suites. Golf simulator garages for the guy who needs to work on his swing at 11pm without a tee time. The ultimate rainy day roller skating rec room. and dozens of 5 kids in sports garages! You know who you are.

That unused third bay? It gets a lot of love. Even if you don’t own three cars.

The garage is the most flexible square footage in your home and the most underused. Whatever you need it to be, I can design it that way. From Buckhead to to Johns Creek to Highlands NC to Reynolds Plantation, I design spaces that feel intentional from the floor to the ceiling.

Your home is extraordinary. The garage should be too.
