Morey Man Cave

This project was initiated with a client request for a room designed specifically for a restored vintage billiard table. The room that was designated was a semi-basement so we embraced the cavern and made it as rich and luscious as we could imagine. In addition to the billiard table, the room included a wine cellar, TV lounge, guest room, and storage.
We utilized every inch of space we were given including the space below a stairwell to give more room for billiards and wine storage. Closets were redesigned in incorporate a guest dresser, antique furniture display and bulk storage. The wine cellar was originally the space used as a separate entrance to the basement.
This project also shows a rich palette of materials. The walls are clad in barn wood and suede paint; the ceiling is painted copper; the floor is cork to reduce sound; the doors were made from old wine barrels and antique leaded glass; sliding barn doors were clad in recycled steel; and each piece of furniture is unique unto itself including a velvet tufted, sleeper sofa and antique leather club chairs.
The client appreciated an eclectic mix of objects and we highlighted them throughout the space. The project was filled with one-of-a-kind objects. A bar table made from wine barrels, a lamp made from a vintage toy truck, curtains made from french embroidery panels, window sills and shelves made from salvaged wood, and a family heirloom brass bed frame that became a work of art. We even custom designed a cue rack from a turn of the century brass garden fountain.
The palette of the room was a play between raw natural materials and vivid colored furniture and accessories. The vivid colors were inspired by the clients “Show Me The Money” artwork. The natural materials were used in places that emphasized direct contact with their texture and feel.
Local craftspeople were essential to the success of this project. Handmade redwood doors with antique glass panels, custom cue rack, one of a kind light fixtures, salvaged metal barn doors, and custom pillows are just a few examples of local work in this space.
