So you have a great space in your basement, garage or attic to hang out. You put the time and money into making it a fun area for your friends and family to gather in. It has all the standard things a man cave needs – big screen TV, couch, surround sound and maybe a mini fridge. But everyone has those things in their man cave. How can you make your space stand out? Here are a few easy updates!
Dry-Erase Paint - IdeaPaint.com
Paint the walls with Idea Paint. With just one coat this product turns your walls into a dry-erase surface. Now you can safely tag your walls with whatever you’d like. It also makes a fun way to play games such as Pictionary with your friends.
Get a Popcorn Machine. What’s better than movie theater style popcorn while you are watching the game or a movie? You can buy a popcorn machine for your man cave online. It will get used all the time. Just making the popcorn is a fun time.
Buy an Electric Fireplace. These fireplaces are simply plug and go now and have become very affordable. No need to hire an electrician so the cost depends on the type of fireplace you buy. They look quite nice in a finished basement and can heat the entire room, saving you money on installing a heating system. I own this one and run it every day in the winter.
Add a Bar. I know this sounds expensive, but you don’t need a custom bar built for you to get the functionality you need. You can find very classy, inexpensive bars available online. For an extra touch, add a bar mirror. These items come in all sizes and expenses. Pick one that fits your room and budget.
Beer Pong Table. This game is still a classic even after college! Make sure you purchase a folding pong table so that it can be put away when you are not playing. Have a regular folding table already? Purchase this beer bong game rack instead.
Beverage Tub - PersonalCreations.com
Personalized Coasters. Your friends will get a kick out of coaster personalized with your special man cave slogan. A very nice touch for very little money. You can also get some nice pint glasses to match.
A Beer Tub. What better way to provide ice cold beverages for your friend. This is a fun alternative to using a boring fridge. You can even personalize it with your name or any other slogan you’d like.

When we decided to add a sunroom to our home , we had no idea it would turn out like this . We have a beautiful room , overlooking a stamped concrete patio and walkway , To add to that , we also had new landscaping done . We now have our own private resort surrounded a beautiful fence . Keith Winters and his crew did a fantastic job. He used top quality materials along with a top notch crew . Keith’s crew are highly skilled craftsmen , very professional and pleasant at all times . Keith Winters was very visible , created , and dependable . I highly recommend Keith Winters at Ultimate Building Concepts .

I found a cool man cave sign at http://northwestgifts.com/categories/Man-Cave-Gifts/Man-Cave-Signs/ that I had personalized with my name. They have others to choose from as well. It is the highlight when coming in my manly man cave – augh, augh, augh (with the voice of Tim Allen)
