Tips for Furnishing a Gentleman’s Retreat by Neil Galati of Wreck Creation

Every guy needs his man-cave, a masculine oasis completely void of the smell of nail polish remover, decorative pillows and Dance Moms. Chicago-based artist, Neil Galati, began his career working as a contractor until he found his passion in breathing life into neglected objects and introducing them into the home from his masculine yet playful perspective.

Check out some of Galati’s most creative Wreck Creations that would perfectly furnish a true Gentleman’s retreat.
