We interrupt this girlie blog...................................

..........................for a vintage Carguy. I must admit I have a great Carguy. Yes, he's 'vintage', but he loves vintage finds too.

When we go antiqueing or flea marketing it's hilarious to see this guy carrying a rusty gas can in one hand and frilly lace hankies and an apron in the other to ask if I noticed these a booth back. Now ladies, let's admit it

Our guys stuff just does not go with our interior scheme of things...that is why Man Caves on DIY is soooo

popular. I am relieved to realize, and  feeling not so guilty, it's not just me being selfish.

My Carguy has been in the auto industry since birth. Today he's an ASE Chrysler Master Tech. He has all  kinds of old car stuff, awards, model cars...some of which do go in our T.V. room with other vintage toys....

but the majority just does not go upstairs in the main living area...sigh.....Well this Summer we're gonna give him his own space. He recieved this great canopy tent last Fall..........................

It fit perfectly at the double doors off the basement next to the driveway, garage, and parking area.... it smells so good right there due to that huge plant of Bittersweet and these old timey vines of Honeysuckle.......

in the back. It's a nice wooded view, but.........................................................................................

actually there are houses all around us, but in our hollow here, it's pretty quiet. Now a freind gave us some office chairs last week that work quite well with this Carguy's area.........

They are chrome, a golden yellow vinyl, and wood I realized to my delight they match the color on my Scotch Plaid collection! This one used as a little side table has rusted a little at the bottom, but the grass hides that and as you can see it holds pop cans nicely ;0) A while back we found this little gem at the Antique Mall here in town..............................................................................................................

Don't look too close, you'll see a few nicks, dings, and  a little water spot, but for $25 who could pass this up......a Coke cooler used at a ponykeg to hold it and pops with the whole Coca-Cola racing team from the 90's...Um....if you won't be able to tell the Earnhart/Nascar /Chrysler theme is Jim's passion......and hanging above is a Christmas present Mom and Dad gave Jim.......................................

What would a Carguy space be without a little grill area..........................................

Put it all together and it's beginning look a lot like a Carguy's haven...................................

It's a simple start, but on the other side of this pic is the garage....yippee.....we're gonna clean it out....er......
start redecorating it with old car stuff!! He has his own peices ready to go, like this...............................

old Chrysler..should be clock....with the evolution of it's parts division, Mopar, logo. And when the guys come by for lunch on a work day....we live close to the dealership.....he even has his own tableware.......

Remember, this is just the beginning, so we'll be posting as the Summer goes with my Carguy's progress. I thought he had a good start, hope your Guy can get some inspiration...believe me I am sooooo surprized

my Carguy is excited about this decorating..it won't be fancy, but it'll be his.
