Project Mancave: Complete

Well the basement is finally finished. It has been done for over a week now but it took us a while to get it decorated and cleaned up before i wanted to take pictures of it. Here is the new and improved basement.

This is the gym...it was there before but it is so clean now that everything is not being stored in it that I had to take a picture.The pool table and kitchen area, this is where a wall used to be that got knocked out to open up the two rooms and I love it this way, it feels so much more open now.

The new entertainment center (put together by me and Stephen helped a little) complete with 67 inch TV, surround sound (thats what those little black circles are on the wall, they will be white but the covers havent come in yet) and Blue Ray player/ Play Station 3 ( I have watched a blue-ray and I honestly cannot tell a difference but I am told by all of Stephens friends that have watched one at our house that it is "so much better"..... Whatever, must be a man thing =)


The little hallway that leads into the new TV room. The wall the little table is on was a lot smaller... not that its huge now we just moved some things around to make the new couches fit better. The new couches and ottoman. They are sooooooo comfortable. They recline and the seats are called "scoop seats" so they are nice and formed to your bum when you sit on them. We are still looking for something to put above the couches but cant agree on whether or not to center it on the wall or with the couches. If it is centerd on the wall it wont be centered over the couches and if it is centered over the couches it wont be centerd on the wall... anybody have any thoughts on that? The coveted pool table that has already been used more than I thought it would.


The kitchen/bar (whatever you want to call it) that we added and custom designed. Notice the TV on the wall that Stephen HAD to have because he wasnt sure if he would be able to see the 67 inch one that is like 7 feet away. Geez, wouldnt want to miss a second of the game.
Myscrapbook room/ craft room is also down here but it is a disaster and next on the list of projects. I didnt want to post a picture of that becasue well, like I said, it is a disaster.

All in all we are so happy with how everything came out. It is already being put to good use. It was a pain while it was going on but now that it is done I LOVE IT!!!!

looks great. i say center it over the couches, not the wall. it would look weird (i think anyway) centered on the wall.

hahahahaha! laughed about reagan wanting a new little sis. and the stall tactics.
