Original Entry – DIY Saturday #5, Entry #116, June 19, 2010
In honor of Father’s Day tomorrow, I thought I would showcase a room that Father’s like to call their own. Entertainment Rooms or affectionately called “Man Caves”. Traditionally, DIY Saturday’s focused on projects and resources to help you
Man caves are a very desirable part of the homeToday – let’s see what items you need and get inspiration to make your own man cave.
According to My Bad Pad, a “Man Cave” is a room in the house (although some men have been known to renovate sheds), where a man can get away from the pressures of daily family life. It is his personal refuge full of his favorite things. Man Caves come in all shapes, sizes and themes but one thing they all have in common is loads of testosterone.The “Man Cave” is no longer an elusive dream. According to a recent survey by Servicemagic.com, 40% of homeowners say that their home already has a man cave and another 13% said a man cave is either in the planning stage or in the process of being built.
These amenities are the top items that go into a Man Cave:
- Flat screen TV (75%)
- Recliner (69%)
- Stereo (68%)
- Refrigerator (67%)
- DVD player (67%)
- Computer (65%)
- Bar (64%)
