last sneak peak into phaeton place

awhile ago i received a comment telling me that the word man cave was a word made up by hgtv and the correct terminology is the mantuary.

so welcome to the husband's mantuary. going down the steps you will see a big, red wall, the dan marino fathead might be going there to welcome all guests. and when you turn to the right this is what you see in the 2nd picture. its one hell of a long room. continuing along the right side of the room is a door that leads to the unfinished area of the basement. its pretty big going the full length of the basement and it has plenty of storage space as well as room for the exercise equipment. see the big red pole? while its not stripper regulated, i think it will work just the same. thank goodness mike's got semi decent man hands since he's the one going to be doing the dancing to help pay for the house. and pool depending how much he makes. hopefully we don't end up paying like last..... ok then, continuing on the right side is a bathroom w/shower also known as "mike's office". and after that is the bar. i'm hoping to con a few bar stools from el parentays establishment to go around it. dad's out of town so i'm hoping to get some for free from my favorite brother. {love how family members become favorites when you need something?} and then opposite of the bar will be my crafting/computer room. i was counting on ham taking this as his bedroom so my crafting/computer room would be upstairs away from the mantuary. no such luck. i'm definitely getting rid of the yellow walls, way too bright for me. and the last room will be kaylee's toy room. this "mantuary" was the deal breaker in buying the house. once mike got downstairs, his jaw dropped and i do believe he got a boner from it. {please excuse the description but i'm just being honest here} all numbers were thrown to the side and he was ready to sign on the dotted line then and there.
