All week I have been sharing the process of a client’s den. We tackled the before shots on Tuesday and the design plan on Wednesday. Today I will share some of the photos I took of the space. The professional shots are still being editing, but I did manage to take photos myself and since I can’t wait any longer I will be sharing those today.

New carpeting went down, the oak paneling was removed and bright light gray paint went up on all the ways. The design plan had to be tweaked a bit, because the client’s decided they wanted to keep the pool table, which meant switching out the larger seating area to two smaller nooks that would still an ample amount of space around the pool table.

Lucite scoreboard area:

Small seating area to the right of pool table. We went with lucite pieces to keep things light visually and the pieces were actually also light in actual weight so that they could easily be moved out of the way if need be during pool playing.

Details:

To the right of the pool table we also added a small seating area at bar height so fellow pool watchers could sit and watch and have a little drink or snack.

{I would have loved to have had some sort of console or cabinet below the map artwork, but due to the pool table we needed to keep that space clear for playing.}

The end result was exactly what the clients wanted. A happy and chic space for their daughters to entertain. While I was originally sad that I couldn’t do the original seating area I had designed for the daughters to use to do their homework, etc at the end of the day it’s what the client wants, which meant working with the pool table.

Stay tuned tomorrow for a little DIY project we tackled in this space. Any idea what it is?
