Man cave? Sheesh. I'd be happy just to get the garage and workshop organized and fully equipped.

Neat topic, though.

In my case, you left out the word "cleaned out" before organized.

Built a new garage a couple of years ago - one side was for the car and the other side was my workshop. I forgot about the lawn mower, fertilizer spreader, fertilizer bags, yard tools, etc. Of course, they aren't on the "car" side ...

He'll have to put a diversion on the other side of the yard.
Similar to one that puts out carbon dioxide for attracting mosquitos, this will have to put out "mary jane", hemp, and hippie music of his choosing. :D

No suggestions? :( I suppose it's only been a few days.... ;)

It's been a couple years now since your original request and you said you had a couple years til your mancave would be built. How did it turn out?

If you're still in the decorating stage, I'd offer the following suggestions (some of which others have suggested along the way in this thread):
Rolltop desk to disguise modern devices like computer etc.
Pipe rack and other vintage smoking items (even if you don't smoke, to keep period correctness)
Vintage wet bar
Large rug to cover hardwood floor
Hidden door to wine room, gun cabinet or other such "Detective" hardware

Best wishes. If your room is done, I hope you'll post pics of how it turned out.

I just heard a funny radio commercial, it went, "before the Man Cave, there was the garage!" I had to laugh, can't remember what they were selling.
