Just to give others some ideas, here's a pic or two of my 1 car garage. It was just bare drywall when I started. I probably only spent $500 on everything but it's so much nicer now.
air reel (air compressor in the brown wood box, orange line run to the reel)
electric reel
white paint
shelving
screen door
baseboard molding
2 extra outlets for (4) T8 4000k halogens angled down from the corners of the top of the wall (really good lights!)
1 new 20A outlet for the air compressor
Anyway, I like it, just thought I'd share. It's not much but it's functional and cheap.  | |

I'd say that is a pretty sweet setup! Nice work--well lit and it looks like you have plenty of room to play around the car (judging from the tire marks).

Judging from the look of your concrete slab, I guess your house is a fairly new construction?
Also, don't you hate how builders are now "squeezing" down costs by making the garages smaller on newer homes? Assuming that you have a standard 9 ft door, it looks like your garage is about 12 ft wide. It's really a shame since unheated, rough finished garage space is really inexpensive to build.

The inside is roughly 11'6" x 22'
It's not huge, that's mainly why I wanted it to be so neat and organized to maximize the space I do have. I can actually detail in there now

Where's the sound system?

In a condo, a loud system could never be turned up past a whisper before someone complains.
