The Hubby's Ravens Man Cave Takeover




Once upon a time this was our family room. We watch movies. We play games. It automatically replaces the kitchen as the center of our home whenever we have parties & gatherings. It was a great family room. It was my idea to paint the walls chocolate to hug us as we cozied up on the sofa. It was my idea to make one wall sports themed, the TV wall movie themed, and the left wall music themed. However, over the last few years the hubby has gradually hijacked the space and turned it into a Ravens Man Cave.

I can't tell you what came first the Ravens picture or the Ravens frog. I only know that one day I went to watch a movie and was forced to walk over a Ravens door mat & turn on the light using the Ravens light switch plate. I don't know when these things arrived. I do know that the Ravens football was a gift for Dood. I don't think he's allowed to play with it. Dood also had a toy basket in there as well. It was removed. Poor Dood. And poor Fidge. I think she has to ask permission to have friends over now. 

I also used to wear the jersey that's now encased on the wall...I think...he has so many Ravens jerseys. Oh & signed helmets...we all swore on a stack of purple & black bibles that we would never ever touch them or look them in the eye. 

But all is not lost. I still have my own space in our home too. 



Nice corner right? LOL!!

I'm not sure what else he can add to this space. But I'm sure you all have a few ideas. Let'em rip in the comments below!!
