Have a man cave or a boys’ room to redecorate? Sports themed rooms can be a fun addition to your home or, for the die-hard fan, just the first step on a long journey. While you’re thinking of what to pack, consider choosing a material for your custom furniture and custom accessories that will not only demonstrate the depth of your devotion but also be environmentally friendly: reclaimed materials from the world of your favorite sport.

If you post your custom furniture or home décor idea on our “Get it Made” job board, CustomMade artisans interested in your project will come … and contact you. Specify that you’d like reclaimed materials from your favorite sport used in its construction. If you can provide some of your own materials for the project, it will have a special personal dimension you won’t be able to duplicate outside of a custom creation.
