I have always defined a "man cave" to be a place dominated by a man (particularly a bachelor flying solo) where he can be himself (i.e. his home). Others know the iconic term to be either a basement, attic, or garage occupied by a male or group of men where they hangout and do what men do (watch sports, drink, etc.). However you define it and wherever yours may be located; these are some ideas that you can implement into the layout of your space to take things to the #nextlevel! How you setup your home speaks volumes on who you are as a person pertaining to your personality. This is a unique way to showcase to your visitors your #aesthetic! It doesn't take much to make a simple transformation to a place in order to break the monotony that tends to creep in from time to time. Who says #diys are a "woman's thing"? After today's post, I'm hoping that you men will feel motivated to transform your #mancave; adding something new to the mix of your environment. These are 5 simple projects that you can do yourself to revamp your place without breaking the bank!
