There's a guy I know who lives and works out of an old gas station. A few decades ago many of the local gas stations were shutdown because of fears over their tanks leaking into the groundwater. The owners often couldn't afford to repair them.

Anyway this place has been completely gutted and remodeled but he left some prominent features including one service bay that he uses as a game room of sorts. It's immaculate and it's plainly visible from the living room (or his office, - I can't remember for sure). The lift still works and on it he keeps his vintage Ferrari. He's very into cycling too so he has a few bikes in there as well. Is this stuff art? I don't know but it looks awesome.
