Man Cave Must Haves

© by the.anomalous

Father’s Day will be here in no time. And as long as you know the answer to “Who’s your daddy?” for yourself and for your children, we can figure out how to decorate yo daddy’s man cave.

When you are decorating a man cave you must have a few things, for sure. Once you have some basics, you can then build on his man cave for years to come.

  • A Recliner – Dudes need recliners. It allows them to pull their favorite Al Bundy pose (hand down the pants – what its all about and why, don’t ask me).
  • Table – They need at least two. One for their beer, soda, tea, whatever they are drinking and one that is longer, and if its pimped out it will have wheels. This table will be the one to put crap on top of. By crap, I mean left over parts, a sports magazine, black or blue ink pens (men hate girly color ink pens) and some scrap paper.
  • Mini-Fridge – Where ever this man cave is (even if it is next door to the kitchen) your dude will want his own fridge. He wants to fill it with beverages for him and the other dudes to share. If you want to score bonus points and possibly not get an electric toothbrush for Christmas, get him a Kegerator. Remember, you may still get the electric toothbrush, but at least you can remind him of your awesomeness later.
  • Neon Sign – Every dude wants a neon sign. And frankly, it could say “Proctologist” and they wouldn’t care. In fact, they would probably really like it if it did!
  • Video Fame or Pinball Machine – Lastly, the dudes would like a game. An old game from their time. Dudes want to remember the fun times before their beloved ball and chain. A  time before the chirrens came along.

After all the basics are bought, you guys can add on with man cave accessories like signs, sports memorabilia, nudie girl posters and just plain old man cave stuff.  So here’s the best part… ready? Okay, so when you want to go antiquing and need some lifting power, tell your man that you want to go look for things to put in his man cave. You, of course, will take him to the stores you want to go to. But girls, you do have to go to places where he’d have a snowball’s chance in hell of finding something. Got it? Good.

  • Don't let my stellar design skills fool you. I'm really quite down to earth. Ok, fine. I'm a big dork. But I sure am fun to work with.

Within 5 minutes (and I am not exaggerating) Alycia picked out a color scheme that we love. I walked away from this experience wondering why I waited so long to pick up the phone and ask for help. Call her……she makes the experience painless! — Kathy from Cypress, CA

I was pleasantly surprised by her professionalism, beautiful presentations and timely responses. She was always very patient in answering all my questions. I was able to get a complete design for my bedroom, stay in budget and do it at my own pace. — Lynn from Novi, MI

Wow! My jaw dropped when I saw the design for the first time. And I said, "Huh! I would have NEVER thought of that." I looked at all the furniture that you recommended and I'm in love. It's as if you're my BFF and knew exactly what I would have picked if I went shopping for myself. — Maggie from Wake Forest, NC

I had Alycia design practically my entire home and was able to pay for strictly her design services. You can have a very precise design or you can just have something really simple done with general ideas of how to redesign a room using most of the items you may already own. Alycia is so versatile. — Amber & Eric from Canyon Hills, CA

Thanks so much for making this a very easy process and for being able to get a great feel for my tastes & goals - it was exactly what I was looking for! — Jenna from Prairie Village, KS

What I appreciate is she gives you the exact name, location and price of each piece in her design so I could just call up the store and order over the phone which saved a lot of time. We are very grateful to Alycia for saving us from several hundred more fruitless hours of wandering furniture stores. — Beryl & Dean from Loma Linda, CA
