These Lake Forest homeowners wanted a classy, modern shuffleboard table to complement their upscale entertainment space. West State associate Paul Lockhart helped the clients in the selection process, so they could be sure they had chosen the right model and finish. The result was a gorgeous shuffleboard table that perfectly encapsulates the cozy, high-end speakeasy atmosphere the owners were going for.
This room is creatively tucked away within the home, adding to the mystery and allure of the design. Limited light enters the space, restricted to the far wall, which features patio doors that lead outside. However, these windows do not reach the far back of the room, creating warm shadows that are more cozy than sinister.
The room also includes walls in a dark green-gray to keep natural light to a minimum. While it reflects some light, most are absorbed or bounce off the metal fixtures, which further the illusion of this room as a speakeasy. That includes the fixtures on the cabinets and the metallic finish on the shuffleboard. The wood floor is also stained in a darker color to keep the room feeling warm.
The built-in bar and sink add to the luxurious feeling. The cabinets are black, contrasting well with the walls, and have a white granite countertop. Glass cabinets allow everyone to see inside them and look at the beautiful array of cocktail glasses and tools. There is also a set of barstools to provide seating for any guests or friends visiting.
A couch and end table create a barrier between the living room and the playing space. They sit at the edge of a plush carpet in front of a marble fireplace, and a TV sits just above the mantle. The walls showcase a variety of artwork that adds to the classy atmosphere.
Into this space comes the Olhausen Madison shuffleboard table. Finished with a walnut rail cap and a brushed aluminum frame, it brings a tasteful bit of modern design into a space inspired by times gone by. Yet, the aluminum finish is reminiscent of the gilded designs found at the height of speakeasies and Art Deco. The finish also reflects some light, creating an effect where the table itself seems to glow with its own light.
Olhausen crafts its shuffleboard tables from 100% solid maple, making them a durable choice for these homeowners and any clients looking for a table that will withstand hours of gameplay. The Madison and other shuffleboard table models also feature Olhausen’s exclusive Accu-Lock leveling system to ensure a smooth playing surface that doesn’t favor one side of the other. This was the perfect choice for this home, fitting perfectly into what little space the homeowners have. This shuffleboard was also a good compromise between wanting a source of entertainment and not having enough space for a full-sized billiards table.
