THE Red ROOM! - A Man's Room!

So fancy, frilly and highly decorated is fun....but sometimes....
LESS is MORE!


I've noticed working with MEN that strong colors and small accents make BIG impressions on them.



When a man says all he needs is his TV...he means it.
"Flowers...naaaaaahh!

Candles.....nahhhhh!

Accessories....What does that mean???
GIVE HIM HIS TV!
GIVE HIM HIS IDOLS!
GIVE HIM HIS NINTENDO 360 or WHATEVER THE HECK THE NEWEST SYSTEM IS!
Plain and simple...men are easy!
Want to make a man happy...you actually give him exactly what he SAYS he wants!




This is the Red Room!


(I've Got To Get a Better Camera....ugh!)

ANYWAY.....HOPE YOU LIKE! : )


Originally antique wooden furniture- desk, end tables and entertainment system...I brought it back to life simply by painting them all black and adding new knobs. Ta daaaaa...modern furniture for the cost of a quart of black paint.


Each section of the room celebrates an idol in this man's life.







BIGGIE --BOB MARLEY--MICHAEL JORDAN-- SCARFACE Al Pacino








All the posters kept the same theme - black and white with a hint of red
Horrible Pictures..but you get the point until Im able to upgrade! lol

He can relax with Bob Marley - End table, modern glass lamp, black bedding against a Strong Red wall. The room had a rounded ceiling on one end. The color really allowed the curve to be accented.


Watch tv with Biggie. Both speakers painted black and turned into end tables by placing red and white accent candles atop them.



Curtains were very important in this room. The sun would rise on this side of the house very early, interrupting sleep so we needed something dark and heavy to help absorb that morning light. The stores didnt have the perfect red i wanted.....SO I MADE SOME CURTAINS THAT WERE THE PERFECT RED! Detailed with white stitching, I felt that these curtains were simple enough but spoke loudly. He loved them too! Not to mention the material only ran me about $20! Who can beat that!?



Handle business by Scarface. I dont think any man's room is complete without Scarface memorabilia. Wooden computer desk painted simple black was all this corner needed.



Last but not least...enter the room to the sight of Jordan. Simple end table painted black with a display bowl of rocks and candles. Keeping the floors wood made all the furniture POP!



THAT HOW YOU DECORATE A MAN'S ROOM!

From Start To Starr......
