The boys are going to have to share the man cave

We have a man cave. I think that it is the reason that my husband agreed to buy this house and the endless renovations that go with it. It really is man heaven down there…flat screen TV mounted on the wall, poker table, weight bench and a full size refrigerator for beer. He has to share it with our son who has added plastic golf clubs, monster trucks and every type of ball that can be chucked around the room with reckless abandon. The two of them love it down there. I just mostly stay out of it. That is until tonight. Like most of you, I have been struggling with it getting dark early and missing natural light. I have tried almost every room in the house looking for the best light. As it turns out, the man cave wins.

This shot is for the Antiquity weekly theme. It is a dresser drawer from the mid to late 1800s.

Too funny! I cannot picture this antique in the man cave you just described.
