Me Woman, You Man Cave - REVEAL

December 02, 2010

You might remember that I started the Man Cave makeover project one weekend while my unaware hubby was out of town at deer camp. Since it is his room, I hadn't laid a decorating-hand on it. However, I felt that the room was under used and a thrifty weekend update was exactly what it needed to make the used-to-be-storage-room into a proper Man Cave.The goals for the remodel were to add storage and make it usable...without it looking like a game room or bar. Well, I am pleased to announce that the makeover is complete.

But first, let me remind you what the Man Cave looked like when we first moved in:
Yes, it was in need of a makeover. It looked more like a dorm room with the futon, sparse furnishings and moving day boxes than a man-worthy Man Cave. Actually, the room functioned more like a make-shift storage unit and was never used. Very sad.

Project List:
No-sew curtains made from sheets
Asymmetrical wall arrangement
Graphic and modern art
Reupholstered ottoman
Storage boxes, painted to match
Pillows made from sheets - using my no-sew method

Edit - the hubby helped spray paint the bike frame. He wanted me to make sure that I said that...



Man Cave Makeover Cost Breakdown:
Curtains              $8
Pillows                 $5
Rug                     $15
Artwork                $10.69
Asym. Art             $13
Sofa                     $149
Accessories         $15
TOTAL                 $215.69

Yes! A total room makeover for 215 bucks! Not too bad, if I say so myself. And, if you take out the sofa (since we had planned on upgrading the futon anyways), it totals $66.69. Wow!
