I am 61 and have dreamed of doing this since I was very young! I am a car guy so I would have incorporated at least One working bay lift, but that just me! Hats off brah, You did it RIGHT! Good on ya! Thanks for sharing, take care
no, I meant 61 but now is 62! I lived in Hawaii for 4 years growing up so , like I said, sometimes it fits! And I never get tired of seeing this! LOVE it!
I love when folks live in something other than your traditional home. My husband who has restored several old cars would really like this. I do too. Really unique abode.
This is the wave of owning a home in the future. Retail spaces or commercial property being converted to residential. Everything from dead malls, to gas stations and even diners and cafes. What a brilliant concept. Plus its a good way to save materials and go green. I love the whole living in a mall idea. Everything inside and walking distance. Want to make a run to Starbucks or the drug store. It's just a few steps away.
7/18/18.....What a unique & great redo for an older corner gas station. Reminds me of old soda fountain places like in the 50s/60s movies. Somebody should do a video of all these older commercial places that have been converted in such wonderful old but restyled places to work/live.
Very cool, and it looks bigger on the inside. I love what he has done with the bathroom, especially the tiles that go up the wall, finishing with the logo.
This place is awesome! I love how creative and the openness of the space. The kitchen is clever ...I loved it! Happy to see another person that isn't wasteful and knows how important it is to recycle whenever possible.✌😁👍
2023...Neat story. I recall these gas station conversions going on in the 1980s, too. One that I saw the owner turned the "service pit",....which was where a mechanic would climb down into to access a car's oil pan, instead of the car being on a lift. The home owner turned the "pit" into a water feature. Not big enough to swim in, but a place to either soak, or cool down in. He had to install a pump to get the water back out of it. Other times the water feature, had live Koi,...a kind of large fresh water fish, resembling a large goldfish, living in the pool. Several of them. The possibilities are endless, for a conversion into a living space.
cool ! My dad owned a Sinclair station with his childhood friend in the south circa 1963 - 1966. I was around 4 when they sold it. I remember visiting them there for lunches etc. And I recall the Glee in washing up with little green " Sinclair's Dino Dinasaur" soaps hahaha!
Love the black subway tile bathroom. What did the son do with the place after the Dad passed away? Did he move in there? He was a true New Orleans original. Rest in peace. Respect! GOD BLESS!
Awesome, what a kick in the pants. Love 💕 it. I know of one turned into a restaurant, small but cool. Good on, good on. Great ideas inside and topsides. WOW 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🙏
OMG I love this ...this is soooooo COOL ..I live in Denham Springs ,La ..I come to Tulane Medical Center alot for my son so ..Awesome PAD and Gooood JOB !!
Love your loft /penthouse awesome,who would of thought? hydraulic stairs totally leaves room for change if ever wanted,hell pool on the roof just might work too.love it.
THIS IS GREAT!!!!!! I LOVE OLD GAS STATIONS!!! Too bad you couldnt pump gas out in the front!!! That would be the best!!! Put the old gas pumps out front with the old lighting, Retro gas station, Give em full serve, wipe the windshields with the old grey paper towel after you squirt em with the water bottle, I remember that when I was a kid!!! You would make a ton of money!!! Anyway, Me dreaming again, Nice house!!! Richie from Jersey

Beautiful!! A previous gas station in my town was converted into a coffee shop. It’s wonderful to repurpose old buildings if they are salvageable .
Thank you for saying that I am beautiful 💕

My friend of over 30 years. I miss you Speedy. Gone too soon.

Nima Barazandeh yes, last year. www.nola.com/arts/index.ssf/2014/02/new_orleans_artist_robert_guth.html
+John Dennie Oh how horribly sad. =( Very sorry for all who knew him. He seemed very special, indeed. xx
So sad
Robert Browne What did he die of?
What a fun space. I like how the modern meets the restored.
This was very creative and I like how everything came together and turned out.
Dude this is amazing! You created every gearheads dream home.
Omg! I so love this place! Its so perfect.
I love cars, especially classic Mustangs, so this is a awesome home for a car buff.

Beautiful! It's so heartbreaking to see all the abandoned buildings in this world, especially with so many homeless people in this world.
Awesome it looks so different as a house it just shows u can do anything when u put ur mind to it

What a wonderful idea and it is done so well. Thanks for sharing this.
Coolest thing I have ever seen.
I love it! It's so different!
Very cool, and it looks bigger on the inside.

I LOVE IT!!!! I THINK ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME. SO MANY BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS BEING WASTED.
I Think it is AWESOME!
Elegant repurpose, well done. I say that because it's somewhat of a museum, somewhat whimsical, but a very good use of space for your work and living.
What a awesome home!! Modern with a vintage decor. Brilliant 😎
So much thought went into your home and I love it 😉
