Finished room above garage

When we moved in back in May of 2015, we were rushed, out of budgeted building funds, and so anxious to move in, we didn't finish the room/space above our garage. We were in hopes to save some money and do it later down the road. This space is pretty big with around 1200 square feet. We currently use it for storage, but are planning on finishing it within the near future. We don't really need the extra space, but it will add value to our home.
