MANCAVE MAKE OVER IS COMPLETE (picture heavy)

Nice! I like the office design with the desk and two chairs.

Thanks again fellas.
I think it worth mentioning that I was able to do all of this pretty much "On The Cheap" !
I'm a pretty thrifty guy, Blondie calls me cheap. Almost everything, furniture wise, has been found on CraigsList...
The Wall unit, 5 pieces & 11' wide, was $100 on CL.
The Leather Wingback Chairs were $100 on CL
The Coffee & End Tables were $110 on CL
The Sleeper Sofa was $100 on CL
The vast majority of my pipes, 90 or so, are almost all ebay, etsy & antique shop finds that I refurbed.
The 24 pipe stand was $40 on Etsy.
The two 6 pipe stands were $10 each at a local antique shop.
I think ya get the picture...
I shared all of that to say this... There's no reason to spend a ton of $$ on fixin up your pipe den, cigar lounge, mancave... There are plenty of bargains to be found out there, just takes a little bit of time, effort and patience.
The last thing I'll share is that one of the things that makes this all workout, is the fact that when I was having my office built I had them install a high velocity exhaust fan. In the ceiling of each dormer and over the main area of the office there are vents that look like regular HVAC vents. The fan is a Panasonic Whisper Quiet 440 CFM fan that is mounted out in the attic and ducted outside. It really is whisper quiet and is hardly perceptible when on.
I hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend and that you please take a moment to acknowledge the sacrifices that were made and that are being made. To all of my fellow Veterans, Thanks and God Bless.

Love it! the cabinet with the tobacco and pipes and tap handles looks amazing. I'd love to play a game of chess and smoke in that room!

 

[mikethompson]

That you did all this without spending big bucks makes me like that space even more.

This is the set up I am going to do long term. It becomes too hot/humid in the summer and too cold/windy in the winter to be outside here.
