Man Caves in the 60’s & 70’s

Yesterday I wrote about some incredible Man Caves.  Today, with the help of Benjamin Cooper of Airows.com we take a hilarious look back at Man Caves from the 60’s and 70’s.

A bit funny, a bit scary and a whole lot of RETRO in these photos!   Here we have a little James Bond.  A little Mod Squad.  A little Jovan Musk.  Well, you get the picture.

Needless to say – we have come a LONG way.  Or have we?  Well, I’ll leave that up to you.

A+ Man Caves

Man Caves.  The ‘en vogue’ term for what once was a ‘finished game room’.   But there is no doubt that recent trends have brought the Man Cave into the lexicon of modern day home selling and home buying.

I have buyers who are looking for finished Man Caves in their potential home purchases or they are looking for appropriate spaces to convert to a Man Cave once the home is purchased. zcave2

Personally, I have a few friends who have created tremendous and unique Man Caves in their homes. Comfortable spaces that are also full of conversation pieces.  And yet as amazing as these rooms are, there are truly some top tier projects out there.   Man Caves that take the concept to a whole other level.

From games rooms to themed-rooms to incredible media rooms, the basement in many homes is a space that adds fun and function as well as unique, personal style.

Check out this great article with photos from about 50 truly amazing Man Caves.  This article comes to us from HomeStratosphere.com  This article will certainly show how far we have come from the wood paneling and shag carpet finished basements.
