Our choices for the wall between home and garage were Hardie siding like we used on the porches, ribbed steel to match the rest of the barn, or T1-11 plywood siding. We rejected Hardie because it requires a special saw blade and the one we used to do the small amount on the front and back porches was already ruined. We rejected the steel siding because it dents fairly easy and this will be a working garage/shop. So we chose T1-11 despite all the complaints about it. But being used inside, we shouldn't have much trouble with delamination.
I tested out a dark green to see how it looks with the unfinished pine and galvanized steel that we will use on the upper section. I like it! Then I hung the brooms and rakes to get them off the floor.
We used fake brick panels on this section just to make it look a little less odd. It's actually the back of the refrigerator and freezer that will be recessed in the kitchen.
I don't know if I mentioned it here, but we found an auction from an appliance store and bought nearly everything for the kitchen. Hubby installed the dishwasher here temporarily. Sooo nice to have a dishwasher again! When we finish the inside kitchen, the shop sink will go in this spot.
I like your choice of colours, and the brickwork is a nice touch to break things up and make more homely. Dealing with such a large space is clearly an art, but I can see you are making it work. Will be great to see how it all, the spaces, come together.
