The second thing is the posts. Make sure they design the garage posts to match the house or the garage will catch your eye from the street. You don't want your garage to have more curb appeal than your house.
No breeze way, I have a huge patio I want to keep.

I like the posts on the garage because they are like the ones inside my house. But they do kind of worry me and I think you make a good point not to have a garage that has more appeal than my house. I've just have had a hell of a time finding anything that doesn't look too tall and modern in comparison to my house. I almost wonder is a carriage house type garage might be the way to go.
