Hi,
I’m Mick McGrath — a regular guy who once set out to build the ultimate man cave.
What started as a personal project (with more than a few trial-and-error attempts) quickly became a passion. Over time, that passion grew into this site: a place to share everything I’ve learned about creating spaces that feel truly personal.
When my first man cave sparked interest from friends and family — and even led my wife Marta to build a she shed of her own — I realized that great spaces aren’t just for men, or caves.
They’re for everyone looking to carve out a little piece of peace, creativity, or inspiration in their home.
Today, ManCaveKnowHow.com has evolved.
While the name reflects where it all began, the heart of this site is now about something bigger:
Helping you design a home that works for your life — whether that’s a cozy living room, a weekend DIY project, a calm bedroom corner, or a full-on wellness retreat.
Everything you’ll find here is built from hours of hands-on learning, deep research, and real-world experimentation.
If I can save you time, frustration, or money while helping you create a space you love, then this site is doing its job.
Thanks for being here — and welcome to the next chapter.
Hit me up if you have any questions on this website’s contact page.
