When I started looking for a new house for us I thought we could get along if necessary with just a carport since we would only have one car. How wrong I was!! The place we bought not only has a garage, it is a double garage and even more important it is an oversized double garage. I don't know how I would get along without it. I am adding a skylight and extra overhead lights.
There was a workbench already there but it was built by a man who was about six foot five. The top of the bench hits me about mid-chest and would be impossible to work on for me without standing on a stepstool. Initially I thought I could lower it but it is built too sturdily to try to take apart. But it is right height for my drill press and my radial arm saw and I can use all the storage below and I'll add a pegboard above soon. 
Years ago I went to an auction of a supermarket that was closing and one of the things I bought were two rolling racks from the bakery department. I had them in the barn and they were the most useful thing ever for storage because they were mobile. So when we were moving I'm brought them along not sure where I'd put them but they are in the garage and they are keeping the things I don't use all that often like my big KitchenAid mixer, my bread machine, the ice cream maker , the paper cutter and my specialty baking pans plus extra cleaning supplies.
Another thing I brought along where a lot of the bins that I had sewing stuff in. They were all empty now but I built a shelf for them and I'm sure as time goes by they will fill up and I will be glad that I brought them.

A garage is about the only thing we miss about apartment life. I hate winter and cleaning the car off before we go anywhere is one of my most dreaded jobs. Mind you, with the pandemic stay-at-home over the end of last winter we didn't go anywhere so it was a moot point. Who knows what's in store for us this year.
