My home room saga

I know there is a "show your home room" thread but this will take several posts over several days so I'm starting a separate thread. I've been away from the forum for a few years due to other priorities, not playing much, work related travel and generally putting pool on the back burner. I'm in a medium size ranch house I built about 11 or so years ago. It has a full "walk out" level basement that up until a year ago was a workshop/junkyard full of stuff I kept only because I had the room for it. A few years back, after one too many bad experiences playing in local halls/bars, I decided to get a table at home. I had a 80 year old Brunswick in my previous home...never again. I found this Gold Crown III in a bar an hour away, $500 + new cloth + a 15' x 25' chunk of Home Depot carpet and I was back in business. Not pretty but the table played great and was a gathering spot most every week for a few years.

Step One: November 2016, sell the table and clean the junkyard.

Step Two: Buy a bunch of wood and write some checks.

Are you planning a design theme around it? The atmosphere of the space can make a big difference.

So you sold the GC III, or the 80 year old table?

That GC III was a screaming deal.. hope you kept it !

Both, the 0ld Brunswick sold before I moved, The Gold Crown III was a great deal but I didn't want to store it for a year, wasn't crazy about the look of it with what I wanted to do and was able to make a nice profit selling. I did stick with a Gold Crown but a different one I found 5 states away. You'll see.

This thread is such a tease...
Showing a little more leg, partially completed bar area. Table wasn't up yet but will sit to right of bar. It's actually within inches of where old Gold Crown III sat in the unfinished space.

This may help set the stage for the reveal in a day or two. The basement is not under the entire house but is about 2500 square feet. Not counting the storage areas, utility/workshop & stairwells I ended up finishing about 1800 square feet. Bedroom with legal egress windows at ground level, walk-in (walk through?) closet, bath w/shower, coat closet next to main stairs off the oversize hall (not sure what will go there...pinball maybe?) which leads to sliding walk-out door, media room, bar and small kitchen, and of course the billiard room.

Wow

I can not believe that is the same dull space you showed us in the first few pics.

To think that all this inspiration came from a love of Pool , great job. Looking forward to updates.
