After months of design, redesign, corrections, tweaks…Finally it is here!  Meet the Chateau Collection by Penn Homes.  The first two plans have rolled out and promise to be another spectacular creation.  The goal was to provide never before constructed sustainable exteriors that appealed to the demands of todays buyer.  Mixing old world stucco with used brick and stone was chosen as the facade.  Harmonizing the mix is key to curb appeal.  Our designer is provided as part of the total building package when selecting us to build your home.  Our designs include towering ten foot tall ceilings adorned with crown molding to suit your needs.  Open floor plans were selected where family can connect after the activities of the day.  Spacious Kitchens and Breakfast Nooks with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances anchor the finishes in this area.  The Master Suite provides for a perfect retreat from along days work.  Separate shower and garden tubs accompany each plan with large walk in closets in the Master Bath area.

Man Cave

Categories: Decorating Your Home, Shreveport & Bossier City Louisiana

It can be an office with the large desk in the middle of the room and bookshelves behind. It can be a tool bench in the garage with outlines of every hanging tool on the pegboard maintaining the inventory. It can be a basement decked out with a bar, flat screen TVs, movie style high back rocker chairs, retractable arm rest, cup holders, all stadium seating, all digital – DTS & Dolby Sound system. Or it can be an old plaid couch and wagon wheel coffee table the wife tried to get to the curb when you moved in together. It’s the space a man carves out of the territory and marks as his own. It’s the MAN CAVE.

Men do need their own space to relax and decompress after a long day hunting and gathering at work and there is nothing better for some than sitting near the glow of a large TV or bank of computer screens while blowing up tanks.

Women also receive benefits from the Man Cave. If your man is insistent upon keeping certain items that you would prefer not to have on display in the more traditional rooms of your home, the man cave is the perfect place to use those items. Also by allowing a man spaces to decompress and do “nothing” it recharges him mentally and emotionally to better engage with the rest of the family.

A tip for the women: never complain when your man comes out of his cave. Greet him happily and he will be glad he came out. Greet him grumpy and he will wonder why he came out.

A tip for the men: let your woman know you are heading into the cave and when you expect to come back out and she will be much more understanding of your needs.
