My first recommendation for the OP is to head down to The Home Depot and get 2 gallons of Glidden Flat paint. (Should be about 7.50 a gallon) and chose a color. ( I choose a semi-neutral almost dark grey). A paint set with brushes and rollers and go to town painting your drywall. It adds value to your home and will make it look like an additional room to your house. Trust me on this...
Second recommendation (your choice really if you want to do this) is head back to The Home Depot and get their Epoxy floor set in your choice of grey or brown (I think they added more colors recently but don't quote me on that). Then go to town epoxying your floor. This too adds value and looks great.
My third recommendation would be to find some cabinetry that you like and bolt them to the walls. This adds a TON of storage space and makes your garage less clutter looking. Again, value and looks go a long way.
The fourth recommendation would be to get some permanent fluorescent lighting rather than the hanging stuff. Wire this into your garage light so you can turn them on via the light switch.
I hope these recommendations work for you. I can tell you this, while I worked for a Realtor a few years ago, these SIMPLE cheap "mods" will sell a home fast if the male looker/buyer is looking for a man cave.

Another couple of ideas for you DIY types without the loads of Ferrari and Lambo cash...
1) Perforated board spaced from the walls with blocks of wood make it extremely easy to arrange wrenches and essential tools needed.
2) Metal hangers to hang up items with long handles such as brooms, rakes, etc. This prevents tripping hazards and cleans up clutter as well.
