This one is for the boys. The first time I saw this look from Michael Kors, I thought to myself, "Rarrrr... now THAT'S a man!" I like a man with a little ruggedness to him. Maybe it's because I come from a family of hunters, fishers, and campers and I myself was once a white water guide on the Salmon River (I like to granola it up with the best of them, but always with a little glam).

The color palette of this room is all about earth tones. If the color could be in a camo print, it fits in this room. And don't forget the leather. Lots and lots of leather (is there anything more manly, really?). The sofa (
Restoration Hardware) is upholstered in a waxed top-grain leather which will only get more crackled and worn-looking with age (this is called 'patina' and believe me, it's GORGEOUS). The leather trunk, to be used as a cocktail table alternative, is vintage Louis Vuitton, circa 1920 (
1st Dibs, I don't even want to know how much this costs). Behind the leather sofa, instead of a standard console table, I would place a desk, like this French campaign desk (
William-Sonoma Home), fill it full of leather bound books and cool industrial accessories, and add a carmel-colored leather desk chair (all
Restoration Hardware).
Flanking the sofa, I would place a pair of moss-green wingbacks (
William-Sonoma Home) and dress any windows with chocolate velvet panels (
Restoration Hardware) to add a little bit of a stodgy men's club feel. For a bit of whimsy, I would add some moose antlers and a mariner's floor lamp (
Restoration Hardware). A large 9x13 (
Surya) grounds the grouping and ties all the earth tones together.
So what do you think? Would you let the guy in your life have this as their 'man cave'?
