With football back in action and viewing parties starting up again on Saturday and Sunday, it’s time to dust off the sofa and get out the party platters for weekends of entertaining.
For most men out there, the idea of having their very own man cave in their basement or garage is an ultimate fantasy. Particularly during football season, having an entertainment room such as a man cave means gathering around the big screen and enjoying the company of a great group of friends. When you decide to remodel your basement into the ultimate room for entertaining, it is important to visualize what you would like the room to look like. Wet bar and plush carpet? A television area and comfy couch? Putting down everything on a list will help you prioritize the main items you want to see in the room.
One of the best investments you can put into your man cave is a great kitchen or wet bar. Granite Transformations is the perfect resource to help shape your outdated basement into the ultimate entertainment center. Granite Transformations’ Trend Glass product is the perfect countertop product for your wet bar or kitchen because it is made with up to 72 percent post-consumer recycled glass, and even has pieces of recycled beer bottles mixed within the slab.
Another idea to making the ultimate man cave is to personalize your space by creating a theme for the room. Are you a huge sports fan? A wine connoisseur? Whatever your interest, creating a theme to your man cave will help make the space feel complete.

Q: Help! I am “oaked out”! My kitchen cabinets and island are a medium honey oak, my hardwood floor is a darker (almost walnut colored) oak. Countertops are a Formica pattern that I like, and the island top, including new black Blanco sink, was done by Granite Transformations in black a few years ago. I would like to have the island refinished, or painted, to contrast with the current cabinets. What color and process would you suggest? In many model homes I have seen that woods are now mixed and look great. My kitchen is part of an open concept living area with vaulted ceiling, and the walls in the entire area are painted Sherwin Williams “Nomadic Desert”.
A: Contrasting wood tones is definitely the way I would go! You have to consider that cabinets count as furniture, so if your floor is a dark walnut and the current cabinets are a medium honey, you already have two tones, so I would reface your island one shade lighter than your walnut floors. This will bring everything together by creating some continuity between the floor and the cabinets, but still providing the edge of contrast. Nomadic Desert is an excellent paint choice when creating a neutral warm environment. The tones of wood will blend organically with this inviting color. Good Luck!
