Mine was converted to a full-fledged house, though. I'm sitting in the actual carriage house part right now, typing this.

Mine has two wings that were put on it and it has two stories. In one wing I have a utility room, kitchen, butler's pantry, and an office.

In the other wing I have a bedroom, bath, and back hallway. There are two staircases leading up to the second floor, one on each end of the house.

I added a greenhouse to the side of my office. Also a full back deck that spans the length of the house. The whole back and side areas are enclosed with a bamboo forest.

Love carriage houses. There are lots of them around here because the place is loaded with big old mansions, many of which are historical. My town has a lot of interesting history. Thomas Edison's mansion is less than half a mile down the hill.

I love the pic in your OP. I especially like the roof and the ivy covered stone entrance structures.
