Just because you're all grown up doesn't mean you have to give up your first true love &mdash comic books. There are lots of cool (and somewhat mature) ways to decorate your pad with super guys and gals. Here's a roundup of comic book inspired décor to help make any room marvelous.

Since our Inside Man project is all about guy style, why not showcase some men who've built a stylish life together? All these homes come from couples who have graciously shared a House Tour with Apartment Therapy. It's man on man design at its best.

Let’s be honest, guys have a reputation of being the messy one. The one who leaves his underwear on the floor. Who doesn't see the point of making the bed (it's just going to get unmade again). Who can't be bothered to put the cap back on. But we’d like to set the record straight and prove just how neat us guys can be.

For some guys, home design has literally gone to the dogs. Furry friends big and small have influenced these homes from designer bowls to matching chew toys. As we continue our Inside Man project, take a look back at some of our most popular pooch-themed posts.

Recently, The New York Times said that Tommy Hilgfiger is back. So does that mean that other designers will follow suit and go all-American? And since one trend leads to another, perhaps we'll be seeing a lot more Americana on the home front.

Name: Aubyn & Moe
Location: Cornwallville, NY

Six years ago Aubyn found himself a little patch of land in an upstate town called Cornwallville. Since then, the home has been given a fresh coat of love and filled with art and antiques that range from bizarre to kitschtastic.

There’s a term I learned from a designer called “organized chaos.” It’s a well-thought-out mess. When things are curated without perfect lines and right angles. Or in this case, an art directed home that looks far from art directed. It’s…organized chaos.

It's a fact. Guys love football, beer and decorative wall hangings. Okay, I made that last part up. But you can get creative with your floor to ceiling space and still hold onto your cojones. And we're not talking about a framed poster from Animal House. Man up and add some flair.

This is part inspiration, part pure jealousy. Exposed brick is something your home is born with. So if you’re blessed with brick, embrace it. Paint them. Dress them up with art. Just don’t ignore them − take it from those of us who are brick deficient.

Curtains and window coverings cause a lot of people angst, but here's a homeowner who chose to grow some green to block their view. I know what you're thinking — how do they see out? But it's the ground floor on a busy street in a bustling neighborhood, chances are there's never a good to time to be on display.
