Every blogger I follow picks apart and fantasizes about the ideal "female office," carelessly forgetting the males of the world who need a handsome work space of their own.
If you're smart, ladies, you'll help him through the decorating process because his man cave inevitably becomes part of your overall aesthetic. You don't want a designer kitchen complemented by fanciful dish towels mixed in with his old fraternity sofa and NFL paraphernalia.
But you ask, what characterizes man cave furniture? Enter,
Timothy Oulton, a London-born antiques dealer/ furniture designer, whom I learned about this weekend while paying a visit to Culver City furniture mecca,
H.D. Buttercup.
Often contributing to
Restoration Hardware, Oulton is a reclamation master. His espresso colored leather sofas, reworked steamer trunks and metal infused chairs somehow appear glamorous, especially when gussied up with crystal chandeliers.
