When I first saw this billiard room it looked like this.
The husband loves this room and each evening he enjoys shooting a game of pool after dinner. I was shown this room because the husband saw my faux leather board while I was showing the couple my portfolio. He thought the faux leather treatment was so cool that he wanted to see what it might look like in this room. We walked down the hallway and they opened the door to this room with amazing south-western light, a gorgeous antique pool table, a fabulous custom tiffany light, and wonderful carpeting that wasn't even showcased because your eye never rested.
He was responsible for the wall color selection, but wasn't sure that they worked together. Can you see the two different green-blue colors on the walls? The paint color below the chair rail had more blue tint, and enough to throw your eye completely. The colors weren't horrible but your eyes wouldn't rest and settle when you walked into this room. Your eye bounced from the pool table to the walls, to the pool table to the walls. I felt stressed. This room needed to be grounded.
Right away I knew the faux leather would look great under the existing chair rail. My challenge was to convince them that the green on the upper portion of the walls needed to go away. I didn't want to hurt the husband's feelings because he was so proud of this room. But that green needed to go. There's enough of it in the felt on the table and in the lamp above.
Here is the end result.
He loves it! She loves it! I am told that he spends more time in here more than he did before. And the wife is happy because I made that carpet stand out.

That is so great looking. That room looks so expensive. I don't now if that is the right word, but that's all I can think of. Way to go Cinda. It's beautiful.
