The Morning Call – Decorating The Man Cave
Sunday, May 8, 2011
Morning call columnist Eloise DeHaan checked-in with Shoshana to find out some of her ideas for decorating today’s man cave.
“When I’m designing the space I always make a list of zones I want to include,” says Shoshana. Essential man cave zones include: The Bar Zone, The Game Zone, The Media Zone and The Tools Zone.
The Bar Zone: Gosselin calls for a full kitchen with a mini bar fridge and kegerator to keep beverages cold, a bar sink, microwave, bar top and swiveling stools. Besides storing salty snacks and beverages, the bar should be well stocked with take-out menus.
The Game Zone: here you will find Ping Pong, pool, Foosball or air hockey tables, a sturdy card table (one with drink holders is a bonus) for poker or musical instruments to practice with the band.
The Media Zone: the heart of the man cave. Here is found a big screen TV for watching sports and playing interactive games like Wii. A good sound system is key, Gosselin says. Theatre-style recliner seats are popular these days, she adds.
The Tool Shop Zone: this space holds tools for fixing stuff; or it may just be a place to hold paint cans.
