How To Turn A Room Into A Man Cave
Categories: DecoratingMen need a spot where they can get away from everything else and just be a man. Although the term "Man Cave" is relatively new, the actual concept has been around for decades. Most guys have memories of their Dad’s sneaking away to the garage to tinker with things while listening to music or for those lucky enough put the game on the T.V. and maybe throw back a couple of beers. Man Caves are becoming more and more popular and have moved their way from the garage to inside the home. These spaces need to feel like a man’s domain and to achieve that feel they must be decked out with manly items.
This room is a hobby / rest / recreation room that gives you privacy when you want it as well as a venue where you can spend good times with your buddies. Man Caves are most often made to feel like a home sports bar or club. They absolutely must have a TV, some kind of music and usually some form of recreational gaming such as a Dartboard, Pool Table, Foosball Table or

The Joy of Collecting
Categories: CollectiblesCollecting can be a great hobby, as well as a lucrative investment. People collect all kinds of things including advertising items, stamps, coins, dolls, teddy bears, art glass, art pottery, figurines, antiques, vintage items and memorabilia. Some collect for the sheer pleasure it gives them, while others hope to increase their net worth over time. For instance, anything antique or vintage and items that are no longer circulated like coins and stamps can become quite valuable over time, especially rare ones. As the law of supply and demand states, the rarer an item is the higher the value rises. The value of these collector’s items will also largely depend on their condition; many items that have never been out of the package or box are usually worth more than items that have been used or unpacked.
There are few name brands that stand out above the rest and have created a following among collectors that is extra special. Brand names like Boyds Bears, Coca Cola (

Antiques, Vintage or Collectibles
Categories: CollectiblesI just returned from my weekly expedition of visiting antique malls. Let me tell you, one really should know the difference between antiques, vintage items, and collectables before purchasing, and it’s really not that hard.
If you are specifically looking for antiques, the rule of thumb is, items made 100 years ago or longer. Why 100 years? That is the time in history when most items stopped being made by hand and started being massed produced.
According to Michael Flanigan, an American furniture expert on the PBS Antiques Road Show most antique dealers abide by the 100 year rule.
The U.S. Customs Office, defines an antique using the Tariff Act of 1930, which states that antiques are defined as items, (except rugs and carpets made after the 1700’s) made before the 1830’s. Antiques are valued by their condition, and when they were made.
So many people today are displaying their items as antique, when in reality they are v - Categories: Collectibles

Why you should be drinking Coca-Cola?

Coca Cola is by far the most famous soft drink brand in the world. It is a brand you will see in the most populated cities like New York City and the most remote parts of the world e.g. the Australian outback. This is because the founders have been on a mission to make it the most valuable and well- known brand in the world since its introduction in 1886.
Coke was first developed in a Georgia-based chemical company by a chemist called John Pemberton. It was then sold as a medically potent drink since it was believed that carbonated drinks improved health. This therefore means that Coca-Cola started enjoying a good reputation right off the bat as people started buying the drinks to cure a myriad of ailments like headaches, addictions, fertility problems and diseases of the nervous system like neurasthenia, stomach upset etc. This initial success allowed the business to grow exponentially until the founders decided to incorporate in 1888 under the name Coca-Cola
