It’s time for another round of Show Us Where You Live with Kelly. This week’s theme is bonus room/playroom/laundry room. I chose to dedicate this post to my main squeeze and his man cave. One request when we got married is that he could have a man area. One where I have NO creative license whatsoever. The long bonus room over our garage was perfect for this. DH just rearranged the room and I must say I like the layout a lot better. Now if we could just get stuff back on the walls…

I think the furniture is man cave worthy – don’t you?

I was asked to make window treatments in here and he chose a dark green corduroy. The bottom of this sofa is jacked up so I also made a skirt to cover it from the same fabric. Turned out alright for a man cave…doesn’t have to be pretty just functional!

This is where the magic happens.

Gamer magic, that is.

If DH disappears, this is usually where I can find him playing with his online friends. From time-to-time he will allow a girl in here (me) and we have a pretty good family gig going with Rock Band. Our band is Barefoot Fryar and the Mushmellons!

Said window treatments.

They stay closed all the time.

The fabric allows no light through.

It is after all supposed to be a cave!

I am proud that he has recently given a bit of his cave to the boy. It’s a real treat for BBC to get to play in the man cave! They do boy things like watch hockey, race cars, play with Star Wars figurines, etc..

This was one of the best investments ever.

Is it weird to hook ALL the engines and cars together?

Well, thanks for visiting the man cave.

And thanks to DH for opening up to us all!
