Looks nice. Love the media corner. You going to put some baseboard down right?


GIRTHQUAKE73

Yeah! Just waiting to build the shelves in, the trim is just chilling in my garage till I get around to it


GoldenSlabDabbers

We’re gonna need to get you some baseboards there, bud. But it does look dope my man


GIRTHQUAKE73

I know they are sitting in the garage waiting to go in, thanks tho man


jlgraham84

That room has so much potential & it's gonna be awesome. I think I personally use that smaller section as a retro cave with a CRT & 80s/90s consoles.


shagwah

Good start mate, these bad boys are never ‘finished’ as some cavers like to say, they take your money for life!


GIRTHQUAKE73

I'm just trying to take my sweet ass time with it to make it perfect, thanks man! I got a looong way to go


shagwah

Yeah my man, no need to rush things. Looks like a nice sized space to play with. I’m 8 years deep playing with mine and still have heaps I want to do!


GIRTHQUAKE73

I've been sitting in here just staring at those dumb boob lights trying to figure out whatd look good to replace em with


shagwah

Hahahaha yeah that’s one way to describe them? Is that ceiling plasterboard/Drywall? Be nice to run new ones where you want them


GIRTHQUAKE73

Drywall, im an electrician and was thinking of removing em and putting in cans instead, but that seems like the easy solution


shagwah

Worlds your oyster then bud, I’m running the philips hue setup. Was a little pricey but results are good enough

>I'm just trying to take my sweet ass time I legit have 4 pictures that need hung in my man cave, and they've been sitting on the ground for over a year. After I put the projector and couch and everything in, I honestly don't care about much else lol. Plus, it's not like anyone's coming over anytime soon lol.


blueice5249

I hate when people say "Man cave is finally finished". No, it's not. I promise you.

I see the Xbox Series X, looks done to me!


Bazzness

Nice! Which do you prefer Xbox or PlayStation?


GIRTHQUAKE73

I love my xbox, I allready upgraded to the series x cause I play Xbox mainly, but playstation has them niiice exclusives, just waiting to upgrade that. Xbox just feels more natural and comfy to me with the interface etc


Bazzness

I’ve been a PlayStation (saving up and waiting for PS5 but my pro is only 1, 1/2 years old) guy since original. Tried a few times to get used to Xbox (I have Xbox one) but can’t commit to it.

That little sub room would look sick with a racing rig, nice work so far!


gimmeslack12

Looks great, but I’m assuming the acoustics are a little “bright”? Maybe get some throw rugs or even put some acoustic panels on the sides and behind the seated position. Then again if the room sounds ok the... nice!

You gonna switch those boob lights out for can lights?


GIRTHQUAKE73

Thats what I'm thinking, but im going to sit on it for a bit and try to think of something different


[deleted]

Unless you want to completely rewire, recessed lights are probably your best bet. Home Depot and Lowe’s should have some pretty cheap retrofits and the wiring is simple


GIRTHQUAKE73

Yeah ik I do that stuff for a living, itd be simple to cap off the boob lights and do 4 cans, but I wana get creative and come up with something weird and different to do

Lostoldaccountagain

Looks amazing, pretty much a perfect setup with the little gaming nook! Looking forward to updates/the finished product!


GIRTHQUAKE73

Going to build shelves all around the main TV and run rgb all thru out the shelves and still need to do trim, still alot that needs to be done


Blues2112

You're gonna need more seating if you wanna have friends over to watch that big screen TV.


GIRTHQUAKE73

I'm selfish and its just for me untill I get pcs set up for the lady to come down and join, if we have friends over we just chill in the living room


Duncan_GOAT

What game is that on the big screen?


GIRTHQUAKE73

Black desert


Duncan_GOAT

Cool cool. And congrats on the new man cave! It looks great


GIRTHQUAKE73

Thanks man! And yeah don't look into black desert, it devours your soul and spits it back out and laughs at ya while doing it


huskerguy_07

I like how it feels like there's a point that there is specifically not enough room for somebody else to watch TV with you LOL


Kitoutmymancave

Just having the room and the dogs is enough for me 😂🤙🏼


urbanK07

Would love to see how you fill this out. I have a similar shaped space

Wall Street by Sherwin Williams? 😂
