I did the majority of work last winter and it has sat idle for a few months (hence the mess on the bar). Just need to pick up a few more pieces for the TV room and I think I can officially call it my man cave.
As you come down the steps
Through the door and to the left. The sports bar area. Floor is cork. Went with the pub height table and 8 chairs for poker and drinking games (man, who woulda thought I'd still be playing drinking games at 36).
Joe M jersey, a few signed balls, and some of my favorite cards from childhood.
Other wall. A few more balls, some art prints, some Buffalo Bills crap (born and raised, 0-4), extra fridge.
Bar. Quartz top. Built the soffit. Those are LED puck lights. More stuff on the walls.
Behind the bar. Wine fridge and mini fridge with ice maker. A few raw Mantles.
Other 1/2 of the room (tv rooom). Currently shopping for decorations.

I had to re-do 3-1/2 bathrooms, a crap load of tile work, trimwork, a wet bar, tons of lighting, more painting than anyone in the world should have to do, and suffer through a month of saturdays in furniture showrooms with my wife the last 3 years as we finished the upstairs. All with the promise that when we were done up there, I could do the basement.
<< <i>What is the piece you have with the 4 8x10s and the cards(?) underneath >>
It's a Bills piece. Jim K, Thurm, Bruce and Reed. Not auto'd. The little plaques below have their career stats.

Very cool. I was wondering because I had a very similar looking custom piece made of the '99 Rams.
It's great to have your own man cave isn't it!
<< <i>Bob, You do very nice work! Do you do remodelling or construction for a living? >>
No, I'm an environmental consultant. Had 2 houses before I met my wife and kinda learned by trial and error. We bought this one together 3 years ago right before we got married.
Believe me, if you look closely you will not confuse my work with that of a professional contractor.
Ironic part - I finished it up about 3 months ago. We also found out she was prego with our first about 3 months ago. I see sponge bob and johnny-jump ups down there in the very near future.

How is your wife feeling? Wishing the best of health for your entire family.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
That is next on my to do list.
A 1975 topps Mini Wrappers bar top would be a nice touch, as well.
NICE JOB!!

Thanks very much for taking the time to post your pics.

SWEET setup! I especially love the OSU banner in the corner!
That really is a great room congrats!!

I would suggest more flat screens, but that's just me.
The basement looks great. Did you put a groove in the top of the chair rail to hold your cards? If so, that it a brilliant idea, and I am stealing it.
Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason.
My Pirates Collection
The goove in the chairail would have been a good idea, didn't even think about it.
The cards on the rail behind the bar are my guys named dick, woody, lac@ck collection. Even the most non-sportcard folks can find enjoyment in those.
Maybe a picture of the tequila wet bar I built into the living room upstairs this evening.
Hi - my name is Rob, and I have a drinking problem. However, I've always liked the term "functional alcoholic" myself.
What an awesome addition to any home -- MAN CAVE!!
You did an extraordinary job, it looks great
