I’m in the enviable position of having a Man Cave. My roommate moved out last year and, instead of finding a new one, I just expanded to fill the space. A little repainting (robin’s egg blue is not condusive to anything) and moving of furniture, and I was ready to go.
I’ve got a full closet for storing kits and boxes, army cases, even my gaming table. I’ve got an old dry bar that I’m using as a display cabinet and place to store my rule books, codecies and magazines. There’s my computer desk and bookcase, and up against the patio door is my painting table. It’s an old Ikea Ivar shelving unit with desk, drawers for my paints, and shelves for my terrain and WIP stuff.
I never use it.
It took me a while to figure out why. It’s a great space. Lots of desk space, good natural and artificial light, a PC full of MP3s, all my supplies handy, a decent chair… and no TV. It seems that I’d rather be hunched over a coffee table in my dim living room with a movie on than comfy in my Man Cave.
