Great Basement Decorating

October 18th, 2008

This is really a tip for all the guys out there who are married and have a great home.  You know, the kind of home that your wife and her friends love:  coordinated pastel trim, “elegant” fixtures, big airy kitchens, etc.   While I don’t mean to disrespect a house that looks like it belongs in Southern Homes & Gardens, sometimes a man has got to have a place of his own to retreat to.  That’s why you should take ownership of your basement and make it a place for the guys.  With a couple weekends of work, you can make your basement an excellent hangout for cards with the guys.

First, install a wet bar.  If you can’t afford a wet bar, a bar table with bar stools is almost as good.  Remove fluorescent lighting and replace with slightly dim incandescent.  Next, decorate the walls with things that make you feel at home.  Maybe it’s old Lakers jerseys, or neon open signs, or vintage beer advertisements.  Then just add some food, some booze, some buds, and you’ve got the basement of your dreams.
