MAN CAVE - Room Two - Custom Themed Media Room
ABOUT THIS ROOM
As you walk through the first room in this Man Cave, through a riveted archway of girders you see a warm glow... It's the Media Room!
A warm and relaxing sanctuary from the outer room, we nicknamed this space the "Captain's Quarters"
early in the design process.
This themed Media Room is intended to be inviting and more of an "indoor", "finished" space as a contrast to the cold and gritty feel of the Movie Prop Display Room next door. The walls are warm toned and feature a sponged, somewhat Tuscan treatment that set the mood.

Comfortable furniture, custom sculpted tables and shelves and layers of texture detail help create the proper atmosphere.
The faux rocks in this room intentionally have more warm brown tones vs. the gray of the front room. Stalactites mingle with pipes in the back ceiling and a pair of old boilers look ready to keep things toasty.
Girders and other elements bridge the visual "feel" of the two rooms and unify them. Once again, riveted metal strips around rocks give the impression of wood floor being trimmed out around "existing" rock formations.
A giant 62" Samsung Plasma HDTV (chosen by the client based on his love of split-screen gaming) makes a big impact on the viewing wall! His Samsung sound system rounds out the home theater elements.

The view when you enter this one of a kind Home Cinema / Media Room with hanging stalactites, pipes, & rock furniture
A unique oscillating ceiling fan adorns a faux metal section defining the seating area. 80's horror props adorn the walls
Inside the faux stone coffee table is a velvet lined display shelf. Incorporating display space was always a goal!
The ominous Movie Prop Display Room is seen outside the rusted, riveted, faux metal girder archway.
A stunning piece of sculpture with added function. Dim, dirty cage lights accent the piece & theme of the room
Wesley's plasma HDTV is framed by rusty vents - obviously there to direct dripping cave water away from the electronics!
A giant tree prop from the movie "300" sits in the alcove in front of subtly patterned deep red curtains.
This one of a kind table was the first piece we created for these theme rooms. It set the style for what was to come
The layers and detail of this theme room. Comfy furniture is mixed with sculpted functional art for a unique design!
A stalagmite side table is another sculpted creation. Behind it, aged boilers stand ready to warm the space further.
A closer look at these incredibly detailed boilers and the electrical control box. These pieces are actually painted plastic!
A close up of some details, including an in-joke plaque with the names of the two lead artists on the project
Pipes weave their way through stalactites on the ceiling, past props and connect the boilers with the shelving unit.
This mixed media furniture unit has a faux "moonshine still" built in to add character and backstory to the space
