Help with my mancave

[GreatGolson]

The season is upon us and i need some help decorating my newly imporved basement "cave" i was just wondering what you would reccomend. A few things tho, i already have the TV and chairs but need to fill the space, im not made of $ here but i would like to get 1 or 2 good pieces of ND memorobilia for the room, mostly i would just like good ideas for posters, signs, and other things that would make it a great space to watch some ND football.

You can never go wrong with a velvet tiger picture hanging on the wall

In my man cave, which is located in my finished atticc of all places i have a P.L.A.C.T. poster basically located in the same spot as the actual one. Also i had a buddy paint notre dame stadium on one of my back walls behind the tv. Its a beauty to look at. The problem with so many man caves is its to plain jane. Spice it up and doing something thats going to get people excited, im not sure any of that really helped at all haha

To add to his already great idea....one thing ive always wanted in mine was a bear rug. If you can get your hands on one somehow i would jump on that chance.

With all due respect, that idea aint worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin it on. lol.

As far as my mancave, you can't go wrong with a fullsize ND flag on the wall....I got lucky,for my birthday last year my brother got me a personalized ND jersey mounted in a gorgeous gold frame.

Hit up Augie's Locker Room

He has stuff for all budgets.. I don't think the website lists everything they have, so if you're in SB it's for sure a place you gotta stop by. It's like a museum.

Weekly, or more often, I cruise thru Ebay just to see what some unknowing person has listed that I can get for a good price. I don't have much, but I've picked up a few things for cheap.

Funny thing is one time I stumbled upon a Lebron James HS jersey some guy was selling stating LJ planned on going to ND. I emailed him and he promptly changed the listing and claimed he had no clue his HS team was the IRISH.

ND flag with your last name across the bottom...ND bar mirror....Nd fat head....P.L.A.C. Sign or wooden leprechaun....ND garden gnome...my dad has a white Christmas tree that is about 3 or 4 ft high with blue lights and all the helmets hung on it from the ND checker game. All the other stuff he has too. Awesome man cave!

I would go with a ND national championship banner, although, you'll hopefully have to update it in the very near future.

 

[bert2834]

My wife did mine.

PLAC sign.
Walls painted navy and white with a ND border.

1 comfy chair (A need for every man)
1 case of the beer you hate the most ( in case we blow a USC or Michigan game you can drink yourself back to man-hood by pounding a case of your biggest enemy!)
1 case of beer you love the most (For during the game DUH!)
bottle of Jameson (Celebrate the azz kicking)
2 very large speakers (Great for during game and also to drown out the weeping you may do during that "******" beer routine)
55" HDTV ( ... come on)
3 pad locks and a chain on the door. (Can't let haters get a reaction)


Your good to go!

That would be awesome if you could get him to change his mind! I (now) see that and the Montana helmet have the 'For display only' tag... I don't think I've ever noticed they weren't for sale, I think it's because there's just so much stuff.. I've only been there a few times, but I seriously move from piece to piece, just drooling all over everything.

My opinion, spend some money on something Rockne/something old. You could always pass that down/along.. Fathead? No way, you could probably make several of your own for half the cost..?

The thought of Hammond in surround sound is making me cringe

A bar would be a really nice addition if you have the floor space. I would love one in mine and I think I could work it out if I found the right one.
