This is a dedicated building that is my do-it-all workshop. I put it up in stages, hence the weird roof lines, for about $8000, doing all the labor (free). It is off-the-grid, with solar power and wood heat, and about 750 sq ft. I built it like a house with full insulation, dual pane windows, wood floors (for the knees), and lots of natural light.
It looks like a lot more than just bike wrenching happens here, but lately the demand for expensive custom wooden boats have dried up a bit..

Seems as though I'd rather post pictures of my mess than clean it up! 
Finally got a work stand. Now I can start getting more serious about maintaining and restoring bikes.

well, mine isn't nearly as sophisticated as some of the ones in this thread, but we rent, and i've only been wrenching bikes for a few years now. we're lucky we have full use of the basement considering what we pay in rent in this city:

if mess was an art ...
if your friends; spouse or significant other gives you a hard time for your cr*p then show her~him~them these pics and say: "Dear aren't you glad I'm not this guy!"
BTW the outdoor shot is my bike stand ... car rack tied with rope to my patio railing. Hey, it works!

Car + garage ?? Jeez, I'd forgotten all about that. I guess I've begun to think of "garage" as a euphemism for "shop and storage".

My relatively large workshop has become a small workshop with a large bike and frame storage area... Its a walk out basement on my house, dedicated to bicycles. OK, that is an Escapade motorcycle trailer in the background, and a Handy Lift hydraulic motorcycle lift serving as the workbench in the foreground.
900 sq foot area became a 50 sq ft workshop, and 850 sq ft bike storage. I need to come up with a better place to store bikes. Pretty much out of freakin' control right now...
