Thank you to everyone—professional and home owner—who sent in pictures of their man ‘room’ or garage in our Best Dressed Homes contest.
Our judges had a tough time deciding among all the beautifully designed and decorated rooms, but here are our winners with our judges’ comments.
Winner
Jane and Craig Hutson, Wilmette
Comments:
Dark green and brown. The colors and tones and comfortable leather stools are what makes this room for me. The wine room connected to the bar is a great touch. It would keep my “Half Acre” microbrew nice and cold.
Wine (cellar, pictured above) as far as the eye can see….Am I dreaming? I love the use of the space all the way to the ceiling. Many times I see people cheap out when it comes to the space over their head. I love the ladder and the use of every inch of that cellar. Very well thought out! Cheers!
Wine cellar. This room’s simple grid and monochromatic color scheme offer a pleasing environment for hibernation.
Honorable mentions
Isabel Wellman, Green Oaks
Nancy and Dean Hagen, Northfield
Trend: technology will continue to change man caves. Better, cheaper projection HDTVs will eliminate the need for clunky boxes.
