Step into the ultimate entertainment destination—right in your own home. This one-of-a-kind basement remodel blends the intrigue of a hidden speakeasy with the adrenaline rush of an axe throwing lounge, creating a space that’s as bold as it is unforgettable. Enter through a concealed door marked Staufer Speakeasy, complete with “Rules of the Lane” signage, and discover a fully immersive experience. Reclaimed wood, exposed brick, industrial chain-link enclosures, and an open black ceiling give the space a moody, urban edge that’s both stylish and rugged. Two regulation-size axe throwing lanes are flanked by a custom-built bar with stool seating—perfect for spectators or post-throw cheers. Warm wood flooring and rich textures are complemented by statement lighting and playful artwork, including a gallery wall of “animals in disguise” portraits that inject character and humor. Whether you’re hosting friends, blowing off steam, or just embracing your inner lumberjack, this unexpected lower-level gem transforms casual entertaining into a full-blown event. It’s more than a game room—it’s a lifestyle.

Photo by Richard Ruthsatz. These mosaic tile balls were designed and created by Darlene Graeser from Unconscious on Canvas. It took about one week to tile each ball and it took about 50 lbs. of grout to complete each large ball. For More Information: Contact Artist (805) 419-5568 ... Darlene Graeser is a clinical psychologist by day, prolific painter by night. The hyperactive Darlene has little need or use for sleep. Darlene spent her nights wandering around the house and pondering her day, until she discovered that she could ponder just as well with paint and canvas. After one of her early paintings was featured on the cover of The American Psychologist, a one-woman show mounted in Santa Barbara sold out on the first night and the large colorful canvases she favors were stacked three deep in her studio, Darlene finally accepted the inevitable hyphen and is now Darlene Graeser, Psychologist-Artist or Artist-Psychologist, depending on the time of day. For over 32 years she has born witness as people shared their stories in an effort to understand how to put meaning to their suffering. Her flamboyance, humor, empathy, and wisdom have guided many towards transformation. Certainly, her art is a reflection of the lessons that she has learned from these courageous people. Over and over again wings appear in her art - her way of expressing the eternal mystery of life and death. Her newest work is a culmination of many years of working in the field of Death and Dying. Her wonderment is reflected in massive and unusual angels who are privy to a distant view of earth. Loss, Disappointment, Love, Joy, Shock, Longing, and brazen sexuality are all part of these images from the "other side". "View life from a distance with honor and a sense of wonderment." Check out our Artist Showcase Website: www.darlenegraeser.com where you can see pictures of the artist's studio and her home.
