Hunting room/Man Cave/Man Bar

[7pt]

The stone was a pain!! It's the same cultured stone I put on the front of our house and swore I'd never do it again. Framed the bottom half of the wall normal and flat studded the top half so I could have the shed shelf.

I'm doing mine all with free/recycled materials. Barnboard, galvanized steal from an old shed, scrap stone siding materials.

Here is a portion of my cave. I went with a two-tone color scheme separated by a outdoor theme mid-wall border. Top half is light brown and the bottom is hunter green. Really was a big step up from the off-white walls that preceded this update.

This is about 1/3 of the L shaped room. I also angled the outside corners of the basement when I fir-stripped them so I could place mounts in the corners.

That NT is sweet!!! :way::way:

OneCam, love it. I have an old white barn that is going to come down, probably a bit faster after seeing your spread.

Sweet card table in your last pic Onecam!! I guess it isn't hard to tell where the funds dried up!

But seriously, some of you guys have some awesome rooms, it makes me very envious!

My wife and I have been wanting to turn our basement into a family room/man cave for the last six years ... that's right, SIX YEARS. UGH. This past fall we finally began setting the whole thing into motion. Though it looked extremely rough we could see the potential. One upshot with this room is that it has a wood burning fireplace and a knotty pine wall that were already in place! Mostly, we had always just used it for storage. Here's a shot of it last October after we'd taken down the old cardboard tile ceiling and taken up the old, nasty tile floor ...

Fast forward four months and I'm finally starting to decorate! Within the next week we'll move the furniture downstairs, slap a TV on the wall and viola ... new family room/man cave! Here are a few shots of where I'm at with it now ...

My son, Noah, helping me sort my matched sets the other night ... he was lots of help! I'll be hanging them on either side of the fireplace on the two vertical beams.

Noah was also instrumental in helping me dust off my mounts before they got hung on the wall ...

I'll post some more pics here next week to show you the final product ... much more to come. To say we're excited to have this extra living space would be the understatement of the YEAR!!!

That looks fantastic!!

 

[Skully]

Nice transformation Ben! Can't believe how much Noah has grown too! You guys all motivate me to get started on my basement project soon. I need to get walls framed up and spray foam done before I can get to serious. Maybe this spring.
