When Roberto Batres told his wife Ana he wanted to convert the garage into a sporty guy's game room, she said go for it, but then she saw the results. Instead of a guy's game room, it turned into a neglected, kid-like party zone with red walls, a yellow ceiling and blue floor. To make the space more guy-friendly, designer Frank Fontana, contractor Steve Pitzer and design coordinator Jennifer Julian turn this game room goof-up into a slam dunk success!
