A glimpse into the 1950s version of a "Man Cave," where the primary design philosophy was "Yes, and also fire." Nothing completes a subterranean leisure suite quite like an indoor open-flame grill positioned dangerously close to leather sling chairs and a literal wooden staircase. Between the cattle brands on the floor and the cowhide stools, one gets the sense that the decorator had a personal vendetta against a specific ranch. It’s the perfect place to play a round of pool, drink something stiff, and slowly succumb to carbon monoxide poisoning in peak mid-century style.
Sourced from "Extra Living Space" 1958.
